Are You Gel'N?

Well… are you? LOL!

So you went to "McNails" at the mall… or "Nails-R-Us" at Walmart…. And you sat in a chair at a nail table engaging in a conversation that you cannot understand. You smile and nod, wondering if the technician is talking to you.. or ABOUT you…. Hmmmm… still not sure….

You pay for a product they told you is “gel nails”… but.. is it? The odds are about 1 in 25 that you actually DO have gel on your nails!

Yes…. Sadly, it is true. Many NSS salons will put acrylic on the clients, airbrush a white tip for the French style, then slap a UV cured top-coat and tell their clients they have “gel” nails… and CHARGE them for gels… but.. if this describes an experience you have had before, you were DUPED!

A gel topcoat does not a gel-nail make! If someone is doing your nails, and they take a brush (that looks much like some sort of paint brush), and dip it in a small container of some high-smelling liquid (which is called “monomer”), and then take the wet brush and dip in into some container of powder, (which is called a “polymer”), then I do not care HOW you color it… THAT IS STILL ACRYLIC!

It really ticks me off how these places falsely advertise what they are selling. Their shoddy work and “less than immaculate” sanitation and customer service really gives those of us who are professionals a bad rap. So many people that have frequented these NSS salons have come to me with severe nail damage, product that is yellow and discolored, nails that look like someone with NO experience did them… it’s really sad. I hope all of you will come to me! It amuses me that the first item on their list of “pros” for coming to me is that I speak English! :D

Now, in all fairness, not all the nails I have seen coming out of some of those shops are that bad. I have seen some pretty work come out of one or two of those local NSS salons. But… is it worth risking your health? Do they sanitize their implements with EPA approved disinfectant? Can you be certain?

I guarantee my work and my product. Period. I guarantee that my implements, pedicure bowls, files—everything—is sanitary according to the State Board of Cosmetic Arts of North Carolina… and more. I guarantee that my gel IS gel. I also do acrylics, but my gels are TRUE gels. My products NEVER yellow.

Are you tired of yellow nails? Do you want a nail artist that is mindful of disease control and is a professional? Then, by all means, call me and set up your appointment today!
