Keep Nail Salon Customers
There are some things that you may not think about every day in your nail salon that you probably should. There are a lot of articles that are telling people what they should look out for in their nail salon and what they should avoid at all costs. Here, we will discuss some of the cardinal sins that any nail salon can succumb to. We looked at reviews of salons and many “how-to” articles that told readers what to be on the lookout for in nail salons, and from these, we came up with a few tips that you may want to consider so you can avoid committing one of these cardinal sins.
Not Just Customer Service
First of all, people are looking out for not only how you treat them as a customer, but also how your nail technicians are being treated. Not only in terms of how they are performing services, but also what products are being used and the toxicity of these products. We did some research and we found some things that people have been told to look out for so they can help protect their technicians.
One of the most important things to keep in mind is the smell of your nail salon could be turning customers away. Many people don’t like particular chemical smells. Not only that, it’s an indicator that there isn’t enough ventilation in the salon, which is prolonging the exposure to potentially harmful chemicals that the technicians have to endure.
Another way to make people feel better about your salon and the health of your technicians is to use non-toxic products. Using these products is sometimes required by law, but if it’s not, you should make an effort to use them anyway. This helps protect your technicians and clients from negative side effects from these chemicals. Some customers are picky about products that are used on them and using non-toxic products are usually a great alternative. You can also combat the smell by making sure that you keep all bottles closed and keep fans or other ventilation running throughout the salon.
Finally, in order to protect your technicians further, you should require all of them to wear masks and gloves during services. This will help them not breathe in as many harmful chemicals and will protect them from getting any of the chemicals on their skin. Even if this isn’t required by state laws, it’s a great practice for the overall health of your workers and customers.
People are more informed nowadays because internet information, which means customers are making sure everything is perfectly up to their and others’ standards. This is especially true when it comes to cleanliness. People are expecting to be able to ask about the sanitation procedures of all of the tools that are going to be used on them. They want to check these because just about everyone has heard a horror story about a bad nail salon experience, especially after browsing online. Be ready for this question because people are going to ask and it’s best to have an answer ready and a process of showing them if they want to see ready to go so you aren’t caught off guard.
Stuff the Customers Will Do
Many people are looking for certain brand or specific color nail polish, and people who are especially picky will bring their own polish. If you notice a customer is bringing their polish every time, it may be a good idea to start stocking that to show your customers you care about them and are willing to go the extra mile to make their nails exactly how they want them.
There are a lot of other things we’ve found during our research that suggest that people are going to be pickier about what exactly happens during their service. For example, a nail technician by the name of our suggests not getting cuticles clipped but instead having them pushed back in order to decrease the risk of infection. Tips like this from trained professionals give rise to customers asking for specific things during their services that are not normal practices during services. While this can be complicating for nail technicians, if you have technicians that are friendly and compliant, you will gain a better customer following and your salon will be more personable.
People being more aware can also make your job easier. For example, in the past, someone may not have known that they needed to tell you if they had any small cuts or scratches. With all the articles out now about proper nail salon etiquette, people know about things like that that they should bring up. People today are also bolder. This means they’re willing to speak up about things they do not like or things they think need to be done better. Understandably, this can be frustrating for you and your fellow nail technicians, but the biggest takeaway is that people are going to be picky and it might be annoying, but in the end, if the technicians are friendly and personable during the service and get the customer exactly what they are looking for, they won’t get complaints! Also, those customers may leave good reviews for the salon which will bring in future customers.
How to choose a good nail salon?
A couple of hours at the nail salon can affect your coming week in many ways. Beautiful nails will make you feel happy and confident. An unclean nail salon could cause you an infection that you will have to battle with discomfort. And more. Therefore it is crucial to pick the right salon.
FINDING A GOOD SALON
As simple as it might sound, finding a good salon, however, is not very easy. If you are a novice in this area, choosing the right nail salon can be a little tricky.
Talk to your friends and family. You can ask your friends and family members about the nail salons they frequent. If they go to a particular salon regularly, it means that the nail salon would be good enough.
Search the websites of the nail salons. You can find websites of many salons these days. Browse through their catalogs to understand what services they provide and their policies. While most salons do not have a website, the salons that have a website is an easier and quicker option to get information. There are also salon reviews available online which can help you to understand customer feedback.
Check for nail designs. Salons differ in the kind of designs and procedures they use. You can browse through various nail designs and then choose the nail salon accordingly.
Try using social media to find good salons. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are also good ways to find a nail salon. If not websites, most salons maintain social media pages and accounts through which you can connect to them.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD NAIL SALON?
While there are many things you need to consider, on the whole, there are three important areas that you need to understand in order to choose a good salon. Let’s see what these are.
CLEANLINESS
Cleanliness is next to godliness, as the old adage goes. Perhaps the most
important aspect of a nail salon is its cleanliness. Apart from its beauty
aspect, hygiene is crucial in a salon as it involves procedures with sharp
tools. An unclean and unhygienic nail salon can trouble you with many health
risks. Unsterilized tools and nail equipment that were used by other customers
increase the risks of you getting infected. Before choosing a salon do a bit of
research on how clean they are. You can also call them and enquire about the
kind of tools they use and their hygiene policy.
If you are quite insistent about hygiene, you can invest in your own toolkit.
Having a toolkit considerably reduces the risk of any fungal infection from the
salon. However, you must take care to clean and sterilize your tools well after
returning home.
EXPERIENCE
Nail art is a subtle art. Nails are only a tiny part of your body, but any harm
to them can be distressing and even painful. Before you go into the nail salon,
make sure that the nail technicians are experienced and qualified. A poorly
qualified nail technician can ruin your nails. Also once you have made your
choice of the nail salon, pay close attention while the procedure is being
done. You can also talk to your nail technician about their experience and find
out more.
GOOD CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Customer reviews are perhaps the most trustable sources of information you can
get about any establishment. Today most nail salons have their own websites
where the customers review their experience. Browse through the various reviews
and learn if the salon is right for you. Poor reviews obviously mean that the
salon might not have an exceptional service. Newspapers are magazines also
review salons these days. Look out for good salon reviews all the time because
a good nail salon is a good investment for your nails.
Apart from these major concerns, you should also try to get information about
the kind of tools they use. You can bring in your tools if you want, but most
salons prefer to use their equipment. Bringing your own nail polish to the
salon seems like a good idea since the ones used in the salon tend to give out
a strong chemical odor. Many cleaning agents and polish removers are toxic if
inhaled for a long time. Take care of these aspects before coming to the salon.
A satisfying result for your nails will leave both you and your nail technician
happy and contented. You should be aware of your preferences and choose your
nail salon accordingly. If you research about these aspects, finding a good
nail salon wouldn’t be tricky at all.
9 Red flags to look out for when visiting a nail salon
Sandal season is upon us, and that means it’s time to spruce up the tootsies for their grand debut. Pedicures are the ultimate treat for your feet, but only if you pick a clean, professional salon for your pampering service.
That can be easier said than done. If the spa or salon you choose isn’t sanitary, you could be putting yourself at risk for contracting an infection, not to mention — at minimum — you could walk away with bad headache or other unpleasant side effects.
I caught up with Deborah Lippmann, co-founder and creative director of her eponymous nail line, to get her professional insights on clean, safe nail care.
Here is what she had to say about the hallmarks of a clean nail salon and the red flags to watch out for before you settle in for your next manicure or pedicure.
1. The Storage Areas Are Dusty
Lippmann suggests asking the manicurist to open her drawer or rolling cart. Then, take a peek inside to see if there are dirty tools and dust.
“This can be a major indicator of the salon’s larger commitment to the health, sanitation and safety of the space,” she says.
2. The Pedicure Basin Doesn’t Have A Protective Cover
“If you are getting a pedicure, make sure the salon uses a protective piece of plastic over the basin and changes it before each new client,” Lippmann says.
3. The Technicians Look Unkempt
“Ideally, technicians should be dressed in professional clothing that does not restrict movement, closed shoes and their hair pulled back,” she says. Any overly casual or unkempt looks are red flags for the rest of the business.
4. The Tools Aren’t Properly Sanitized
Things like files, buffers and cuticle pushers can carry a lot of germs if they’re not cleaned or replaced between each manicure or pedicure. That’s why it’s always a good idea to bring your own.
“Before visiting a salon, put together your own nail kit and include a pusher, nipper, foot file, nail file, buffer, base/top coats and nail lacquers,” Lippmann suggests. “Otherwise, you run the risk of hygienic contamination if salons aren’t using proper sanitization, which is often the case.”
5. Your Polish Doesn’t Last Long
Lippmann warns that many salons compromise the product formulations with acetone. The acetone “can lessen the longevity and quality of the manicure.”
A simple solution is bringing your own nail polish. The colorful wall of nail polish bottles may be tempting, but your own collection is definitely pure and untainted.
6. Your Nail Technician Isn’t Well Informed
“Engage your manicurist, ask questions about the products and services to determine her level of education,” Lippmann says.
An informed technician is usually a good one you can trust. Additionally, make sure you clearly explain what you want and what you don’t.
7. The Salon Has A Strong Chemical Odor
A strong odor in a salon is a big red flag.
Lippmann warns, “If you are overpowered by the smell of nail polish, it’s probably not ventilated well, they are using harmful chemicals and you should leave!”
8. The Bathroom Is Dirty
Even if you don’t need to go, check out the bathroom. Lippmann says to look for anything that “seems dirty or unhygienic, which can be a sign of overall cleanliness problems.”
9. The Prices Are Too Good To Be True
It can be tempting to go to the salon that offers the cheapest main/pedi in town, but you will usually get what you pay for. Just because your hands and feet look good when you leave the salon, doesn’t mean it was a good — or a clean — service.
“Don’t be surprised after visiting a place that does not have the best sanitary practices, that your cuticles become inflamed, your manicure is peeling days later or you have a fungal infection on your foot,” she adds.
Keep an eye on your hands and feet to see how they look a few days later to determine if it’s worth a return visit.
NAIL HEALTH – Surviving Acrylic and Gel Nails
Have you recently suffered a nail setback? Brittle Nails? Soft Nails? Damaged Nails? Recently my mom suffered a nail setback and was devastated. She had indents in her nails caused by her gel polish mani. Now, before I go any further, when I mention gel, I do not mean Shellac or gel like nail polish. I am referring to gel overlay which most likely requires the polish to be cured with UV light. (Now that this is out of the way, back to what I was saying.) So my mom was devastated and slightly annoyed. I informed her that acrylic and gel increases the chance of indents on the nail bed and having soft brittle nails.
How you may ask? I’ve got you covered:
- When receiving acrylics, your top layers of nail are buffed away
- With gel nail polish, as your nails grow out, they don’t chip as the polish is grasped to your top nail layers. As a result, the gel polish literally “grows” alongside your nail. The gel polish holds onto your nail for dear life. The indentation that is formed is where the bottom of your nail used to be. Everything under this line is new growth.
Both acrylics and Gel mani’s, when applied regularly, can cause nails to be come brittle. It also limits exposure to natural air. Regular nail polish does as well, to a certain extent, but the shorter wear longevity allows your nails to be introduced to natural air more often.
What can be done:
- Every 4 weeks, give your nails a break
- If wearing gel or acrylic, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, pick off the polish. Doing so can actually cause you to pick of a layer of nail and can encourage your nails to peel.
- Use alternative methods than the electronic nail buff when removing gel nail polish. Yes, this may require you to soak them in nail polish remover longer. (Which is a totally different story for another day).
- Use a nail straightener and get into the habit of having a nail care routine. Read more about Retreat, a hydrating nail strengthener.
- While wearing gel or acrylic nails, be sure to moisturize your cuticles daily. This helps to maintain the overall health of nails.

Everyone needs a break from everyday life, work, and kids. “Getting a bit of pampering is a way to escape from reality for a bit, like a pause button to just relax, take a breath and restart”- Dubai stress management. I like to have calm music playing in the background like water falling or dolphins singing. Keep your eyes shut while your therapist massages your hands and fingers while the rhythm of the music just takes that intense stress away. Hmmm, sounds so good hey!?Prevent hangnails from popping up!
2. Prevent hangnails from popping up!

At Spasalon.us, we think every season is the right time of year to embrace pedicures.
You’re suffering from jandalitis
Okay, you’ve rumbled us… We just made that word up! The problem, however, is very real. You’ve sent the summer scuffing around in jandals or even worse bare feet and now you’re paying the price.

Even a regular pedicure comes with a complementary massage. A massage therapist will stroke some sections of your feet in such a way that it will help in relieving physical pain and anxiety. This in turn will promote better sleep.
Attain Soft and Smooth Feet
If you ignore getting pedicures, you will notice that your feet will start getting rough and dry during winters. Excessive dryness results in cracked heels and sometimes the problem goes to such an extent that your feet start to bleed. So, why wait for this to happen? Instead, get an appointment right away to prevent this problem.
Helps in Getting Rid of Dead Skin Cells
There are different stages in a pedicure, one of them being scrubbing. Scrubbing is the process in which the therapist uses a cream or a gel scrub and gently rubs it on your feet in a circular motion. Post this; a foot file is used to get rid of the dead skin cells. You will notice a vast difference in your skin after the process of scrubbing.
Make It a Part of Your Beauty Regime
Even if your feet are the last thing someone will notice about you, do not ignore them. Healthy feet bring you one step closer to your healthy self. Properly trimmed nails and clean feet are an important part of personal hygiene. Hence, adding regular pedicures to your beauty regime will take you a long way through a hot autumn

7 Steps to build a home-based manicure model
With the explosion of the nail art market in recent years, many people have chosen to build a nail model at home instead of going to a different shop. This can be more profitable but you need to consider some issues before starting with them.
Making nails at home is a popular trend because there you can own your own work, time and profit. Home workers do not have to invest too much in equipment and do not have to pay thousands of dollars to rent premises like big stores. Therefore, they feel more free and comfortable with their work. But what is the right time to start this self-employed business and how to succeed with it. Join SpaSalon.us with 7 basic steps!
Step 1. Market survey
This is the first step you need to take before starting to build a home-based manicure model. Research the market in your area and determine which services are popular to find your own service. Depending on your abilities and interests, you can provide nails, toenails, silk nails, acrylic nails, gel nails and professional hand-painted nails. Also, consider the strengths, weaknesses, used equipment and service prices of other stores in the region.
Step 2. Participate in training
If you are new to nail industry, consider working in some salons before building your own business model. Take part in various events and seminars in the industry because the more you know about the
nail salon business, the higher your chances of success. In addition, you should ensure you are always aware and at the forefront of the industry’s latest trends.
Step 3. Get an operating license
Currently, home-based manicure is allowed in most states, but you still need to keep in mind the rules and restrictions before starting them. For example, you may have to design your own bathroom and walkway for customers or some states do not allow home workers to hire non-family members. So call the state cosmetology board to find out what rules are being applied in your city.
In addition, nail technicians also need a permit. Depending on state regulations, you may have to attend and complete a nail or nail technology program. These courses will train you in personal hygiene, nail care products, nail tools, cleaning, sterilizing tools and some other important principles. You can specialize in specific services like natural nail extension, nail drawing or hand massage techniques.
Step 4. Plan your business
Next, determine the size of your home store and how to calculate your service costs. You can maximize your income by selling nail care products or offering luxurious pedicure and nail care. This allows beauty salons to create competitive advantages and meet the changing needs of customers.
An indispensable task is to determine the costs needed to start operating the store. Set aside a room for nail care, try to create a relaxing atmosphere in your own style. Also, consider the store’s uptime because you always need at least a few hours to advertise services, do accounting and clean up. However, make sure your costs meet industry standards. Working from home doesn’t mean you have to charge less than the price you offer, so it’s based on quality rather than a salon location.
Step 5. Investing in quality products
Look for brands and manufacturers that specialize in nail care products and you can buy wholesale for a good price, as long as they are of high quality. Many stores will provide free samples for you to check products before buying in bulk. And our SpaSalon.us will probably be a great choice for you.
Step 6. Buy insurance
You may think that you are fully protected because you have a landlord or tenant policy, but these terms are not conducive to the entire family business. You need more business insurance to cover losses because housing insurance does not include business debts.
Step 7. Advertising for home salon
Advertising is essential for store development, so be creative and come up with different strategies to increase your revenue. Can create advertising campaigns on Google or social networks with the provision of falling winches, brochures in the city. Try to exchange leaflets with hair salons, spas, massage centers and makeup salons for your salon.
With these 7 basic steps, you can start building yourself a professional but compact and professional nail model at home. However, be well prepared, consult the experience of shopkeepers and industry experts to best run your business.

How to install pedicure chair Discharge Pump ?
Most people tend to neglect their feet thinking that nobody would bother to check whether they’re clean or not anyway. But as they discover the important reasons to get a pedicure and the benefits, more and more people are paying for pedicure services. If you are a business-minded person who wants to start a spa business, it might be a great idea to focus on pedicure services. As you go on checking the things that you need to do, you would likely come across a suggestion of buying a discharge pump. You might frown and ask “what is a discharge pump?” and “do I really need it? Find out why it is crucial to your prospective pedicure business. and the most important thing is “How to install pedicure chair discharge pump ? “. This article will help you answer you.
Before you begin installing, you need to know the following:
‘’WHAT IS A DISCHARGE PUMP?’’
A discharge pump refers to the element that pumps and drains wastewater from a pedicure chair. The pump could be located behind the drain across the room or within a wall. Sometimes, it is also referred to as a drain pump.
‘‘WHY DO YOU NEED A DISCHARGE PUMP?’’
You need to have a discharge pump most especially when you don’t have a floor drain in your spa. Usually, plumbers install floor drains with new construction, particularly in the locations of pedicure chairs. Gravity will then do all of the work. Wastewater from the foot spa will go down to the drain. If a plumber can’t manage to break the floor to add drains, the drain will be put behind the pedicure chair instead. This is why you will need a discharge pump, to push the wastewater into the wall, rather than letting it flow down the drain.
If your spa doesn’t drain wastewater straight down and you don’t have a discharge or a drain pump, the wastewater will become stagnant or it may drain slowly. Most of the time, people think that the pedicure chair itself causes the problem. But in reality, all they need to do is to buy a drain pump.
“CAN YOU INSTALL THE DISCHARGE PUMP LATER?”
Actually, you can; however, it is not a great idea as it’s costly and proves to be quite a hassle. Pedicure chairs are usually manufactured in a factory and then shipped to customers. They are made to order. During the pedicure chair assembly, the pump will be installed. However, in case it breaks and you have no choice but to install a new one
And finally, this is what you expect “How to install pedicure chair discharge pump” , here’s what you have to do:
- Buy a discharge pump kit (this is usually more costly than ones installed in factories)
- Fix the pump under the chair
- Connect pipelines
- A hole must be drilled in the spa’s base (to add a new button)
- Don’t make a mistake
- Possibly void the warranty
You must be extra careful when you do these steps. Since plumbing work usually requires expertise, anything can go wrong. In case of a mistake, the manufacturer has the right to review and void the warranty. Quite a burden, isn’t it?
Some of you may also think of using an old discharge pump for your new pedicure chair. It is possible; however, you should consider the compatibility. Most of the time, it wouldn’t work and might cause some problems in the long run.
Everything will be easy if you know how to do it!
