Invasion of the Nail Salons

Here's my question: Why does my town need 4 nail salons? We've got no movie theater or hardware store, no diner, we've got the usual Starbucks, of course. Maybe 1 good restaurant.  A new Indian restaurant opened, and it tastes like Bird's Eye.

But what's the point? How can there be enough women around (sorry guys) to support all these places? Oh yea and we've got dry cleaners, tons. Nail salons and dry cleaners. Our village is like the personal and clothing hygiene mall.

It doesn't make sense. ...read more rants

salon economics

- submitted by len on 02/01/2007

an economist won a nobel prize concluding that independently owned gas stations made more money if they were all located together at the same intersection, instead of being alone on the intersection.

must be the same for nail salons!

in my town in nj another

- submitted by suburbangirl on 02/01/2007

in my town in nj another nail salon was coming in and some people protested. we'd had 2, it was replacing a local gift store, and yea we had a bunch of dry cleaners too.

i don't know why exactly, but the nail salon never came. instead we got an olive garden. be careful what you wish for.


oh my god. i'd rather eat

- submitted by caryn on 02/01/2007

oh my god. i'd rather eat swanson or birdseye than olive garden. i crack up every time i see those tv commercials with all the happy diners.

my town. north maryland. we have no nail salons. maybe one of yours can move there.


i know it's kind of funny.

- submitted by 2beth on 02/01/2007

i know it's kind of funny. but it's kind of depressing too. not about nail salons, but fact that you pretty have to go to the mall to do any real shopping. unless your town is already a strip mall.

we needed some safety plugs to cover out outlets the other day. the kids were trying to do fun things with plastic forks.

i had to drive 15 minutes to home depot. a nightmare in itself. shopping for plastic plug thingies at home depot! i hate that place.


home depot is god

- submitted by jefffromclevelandburbs on 02/01/2007

hey, i love home depot. i've gotten lost there. if home depot was in my town it would take up the entire village.

don't have a view on nail salons. don't even understand them. i clip my nails whenever. why can't everyone clip their own nails. there i said it.


jeffromcleveland doesn't understand

- submitted by caryn on 02/01/2007

going to the nail salon isn't for clipping nails. it's for the whole experience. guys have no clues. metrosexuals, evolved guys do.

you should try it.


no thank you

- submitted by jeffromcleveland on 02/01/2007

think i'll skip the manicures. i'm a proud non-metrosexual.

but i'm all in support of those here who want to do away with village nail salons. i vote for pool halls instead.

Wow... Of all the things a person has to complain about... Nail salons?

Unemployment, gas prices, people who change lanes without looking, the ever-growing air quality problems, epidemic juvenile obesity, meth labs, international economic imbalance, declining health care quality, lack of education funding...

...nail salons? O.o


nail salons

- submitted by Anonymous on 10/31/2007

Nail salons can be an asset to any town, providing the nail tech is licensed and adheres to the standards of the states' licensing board for sanitation and disinfection. Many people can benefit from visiting a nail salon, especially the elderly and diabetics, both of whom need special care for their feet.


Nail Arts

- submitted by huntfree on 12/13/2008

Perhaps you're a showy type, someone who loves to express herself through her appearance. For you, a shockingly bright, trendy-colored nail isn't enough. You want to set yourself apart from the manicured crowd. From the sound of it, you are a nail art kind of gal. Nail art is not so much a way to augment nails' length as it is a way to enhance their appearance. There are several ways you can dress up nails. Decals - much like the decals you got from boxes of sugared cereal, and stuck on windows or your own body as a kid - are an easy way to add whimsy to your nails. Most nail salons have a selection of seasonal (jack o'lanterns, snowflakes) as well as standard (roses, stars) designs. These are embedded in slightly sticky nail color. When nail color is dry, a swipe of top coat keeps decals secure. http://www.nailsalon.we.bs/


Decorative nails

- submitted by Anonymous on 12/13/2008

<a href="http://www.nailsalon.we.bs/"> Nail jewelry can be expensive 14-karat gold, but it is usually made of cheaper silver?or gold-colored metals. Most nail jewelry comes in simple designs, such as initials, stars, and hearts; it is applied just like nail decals. For those with very long nails, there is another type of nail jewelry: earrings for nails. If you're interested, your nail technician will actually pierce one of your nails and install a stud or a small hoop. Nail detailing, sometimes simply called nail art, uses extra-fine paintbrushes and several colors of nail polish, which your nail technician uses to paint scenes onto the nail. The finished product depends greatly on your nail technician's skill as a fine artist. </a>

Bathroom cabinets adelaide

- submitted by Linc on 08/16/2009

Hi all. There are two types of people--those who come into a room and say, 'Well, here I am!' and those who come in and say, 'Ah, there you are.' I am from Lanka and too poorly know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Proper installation for modern bathroom vessel sinks."

Thank ;-) Linc.
