When choosing a nail salon where you will become suki, what are some of the things that you take into consideration? Is it the price, proximity, ambiance, nail polish options, or the different services? In Bacolod City, which nail salon do you often visit and how often do you get a mani-pedi?
Basic Tips in Choosing a Nail Salon
For many women, a trip to the nail salon is not just about coloring their nails. It is also about the kind of experience they get as well as the quality of service rendered by the attendant or nail technician. They also find that as their margin of sanity in a hectic week.
After the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) for the Covid-19, many women will surely need to get their nails done. The worry about the virus as well thinking up of ways to keep the kids occupied during quarantine can be really exhausting for moms.
The safest thing for us to do is to stay at home and do our own nails. However, a DIY manicure can be tricky to do on both hands. As for the toes, many women find it hard to bend for very long. High blood pressure can also be an issue for some.
The Most Simple Criteria
Last month, for our eldest Shawna’s 11th birthday, we had a mani-pedi birthday party. We looked for a clean and comfortable Bacolod nail salon that can accommodate kids. But now, our simple criteria won’t work anymore.
Here are a few things that you should be looking for in a perfect pampering destination. Choosing a nail salon might be different now. You might want to be more selective, now that we are still battling with the Covid-19 pandemic. Safety over beauty, right?
Do Your Research
Go online and look up the websites and social media pages of the nail salons near you. Or you may read some blog posts about them. From these reading materials, you will learn a lot about each nail salon, including prices and experiences.
Are the Interiors Appealing?
You don’t just go out to nail salon to have a manicure and pedicure. When you go get your nails done, you also try to take your mind off work or home affairs – or both. It’s your ME-time – a time that you can be alone with your thoughts and feel pretty afterwards. So, does the nail salon’s interior help you relax?
The Services Offered
There are those who just want regular mani-pedis. But there are those who also want to have foot spa, foot massage, hand paraffin, gel nail polish, or nail art.
Recommendations of Friends
Ask around. Your friends will have something to say about the nails salons nearest you. You may also go together. But for introverts, they would be happy with the just the recommendation. No offense meant.
The Nail Salon’s Hygiene Protocols
Aside from the service and ambiance, the most important thing now is hygiene. With all the diseases going around, we cannot be lackadaisical about this health issue. Let’s all remember that we have ourselves and our families that we need to protect.
Wearing of Face Masks
Are the nail technicians wearing face masks while doing the service? Face masks are important for the attendants because you face each other. This proximity is very risky, especially if any one (client or nail technician) is asymptomatic.
Disposable Gloves
At this time, I think that nail technicians should wear disposable gloves. It will protect everyone not just with Covid-19 but other diseases as well.
Hygienic Practices in the Nail Salon
Is the management keen on keeping their nail salon safe? Are they concerned about the washing of hands, especially after using the toilet? You can inspect their restrooms and see if they have reminders on the walls about hand washing. Do they have a running water supply? Additionally, does the management provide disinfectant alcohol at the counter and also on the lavatory?
Bring Your Own Manicure Set
It’s important that the nail salon disinfect their tools and use a clean set for each client. There are salons that do that — each set of tools is sealed after sanitation. These are only opened in front of a new client when they are ready to be used.
However, you just might want to bring your own manicure set. At least that’s yours. And when you get home, disinfect them along with the container.
Stay Pretty But Be Careful
Enjoy and be careful in choosing a nail salon, ladies and gentlemen! And stay safe in this Covid-19 season. If you can avoid it, maybe you can take a pass on your visit to the nail salon until we have a solution to flatten the curve?
