Who doesn't love to paint the nails and want to flaunt the classy-clear ultra-fine edges? Well, for ladies the interest in setting their nails up to date with the latest fashion and trends is just like any other essential thing. Eventually, the need of the professional nail salons has boomed to the new heights in the last decade, which in turn has redefined the expectations of the customers opting out for the services.

In fact, the nail job is not as simple as it sounds; it demands a high level of preciseness and professionalism from the nail artist to furnish even a single nail. As there are multiple brands and salon chains available in the market, it sometimes becomes really mind-boggling to choose for the best destination on the go.

To help you out in choosing the most excellent services, here we have listed the major 8 things you should look in a nail salon before you get onto the process chair.

  1.      Look For Licenses

Always remember your nails can add stars to your overall personality and can present you as the one who is concerned about her cleanliness and maintenance in front of others. Obviously, your nails are not available for the experiments, so you need to be prudent when choosing the nail salon nearby. Look for the places that have a visible state license to make the customer aware about their authenticity.

Nowadays, most of the nail salons have their license visible to develop a level of trust among customers. Even, if needed, you can also check the licenses for the nail technicians to double assure yourself. Relax, you can really ask it because it's your right to get the best services for the money you paid.

  1.      Filthy Nail Art Stations

Check out for the surrounding as you enter the nail salon.Check out for the drawers, the tables, and the stools and yes, even the dustbins. If you find the stuff from the people's nails visible here and there all around, be sure, you are not at the hygiene grounds.

Look for the dustbins and make sure they are not just wide open with their trashy mouth to invite the bacteria and other microorganisms to make you ill. Just like in a doctor's clinic, the overall practice area should be clean with no sign of previous work noticeable.

Each nail art station should be scrubbed well before it welcomes its next customer and the new coverings should be put down on the surfaces. This is something like how would you feel if your gynecologist makes use of the same paper again and again. Yukk!

  1.      The Dirty Tools

In most of the cities, it is now a rule that the salon people should use a quality new nail file for each and every client. It’s simple, who would like to smell the chicken soup that came out of the nail of the previous client. In essence, it is unsanitary to make use of a nail file that was previously used. If the early client had nail fungus associated, it might spread to you too.

Other than the nail file, make sure you check for anything that's porous and can pass way to breed bacteria - orange sticks, buffers, pumice stones, wooden tools, etc. Be aware that these tools should also be fresh and new for every client to eliminate the risk of unhygienic triggers. Well if it's about the metal tools like cuticle nippers, they can be reused but only after they are disinfected with hospital grade disinfectant for at least 10 minutes or sterilized in an autoclave.

Significantly, nowadays many of the popular nail salon chains have started using the Disposable Non-metal Implements to avoid the process of sterilization and autoclave just to give the open-packing-in-front feeler to the client.

  1.      The Right File

Not only the file has to be new, but it should also be right too. Depending on the type and the thickness of the nail, there are various files available that vary in grits ranging from ultra-fine to super coarse. Unfortunately, even many of the professional manicurists use the same generic file for every purpose, which can even damage the natural nails.

So how can you judge when going with the filing process? The answer is really simple; just listen to the sound and feel the experience when the nail is being rubbed. One which goes smoothly with the pleasant sound is right for you, and the other which is like passing a vehicle from the uneven road with heavy sound is a direct stay away. So ladies, keep calm and listen to the file!

  1.      The Ventilation

What it would be like if you are in a nail salon for hours and you smell different chemicals and vapors coming out of the nail procedures. Indeed, that is not good. In the worst case, you can even feel like suffocated from the dust that can impact your breathing.  Hence, to avoid this, it is important that you check for the ventilation and exhausts available on the premises. Undoubtedly nail job takes time, and you should not spend that in an unhealthy environment.

After all, you are paying for the services, and it is your right to feel good there.  An excess of room freshener to eliminate other smells is also harmful to the health, and those who are sensitive to high fragrance may have allergies out of it. Therefore, to note, the overall recommended aura of the nail salon should include proper fresh air with neutral fresheners or smell.

  1.      The Fish Pedicures

Fish pedicures are helpful and quick if you want to remove the dead cells. The doctor fish used in the process helps you to get rid of the dead cells quickly leaving a smooth and soft finish. Notably, fish pedicure also helps in mental healing as you can enjoy it for hours. It has excellent healing effects for the people suffering from psoriasis and eczema. But, all these benefits are there only when the overall process is clean and well structured.

A tub full of fish can be unsanitized which may cause infections in your body. The bacteria can enter your body from the nail ends or any open wound you have. To avoid the situation, ask the salon for the procedure and cleaning of the tubs before getting it done. Remember, it is even found that unsanitized fish tubs can contract (MRSA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which is a severe skin infection.

  1.      The Comfy Furniture

For the ladies who spent their good time in nail salon should always look for the one with comfy furniture. A cushioned chair with the adjustable manicure table is still good to relax with the go. After all when the nail job is in the process, you have nothing to do other than close your eye-lids and rest for a while.

Nail salons nowadays have observed the importance of comfortable furniture to make the whole session as a pleasant experience to aid the comeback of the clients again. Additionally, the modern salon furniture is designed and crafted in such a way that it becomes so easy to clean, dry and install.

  1.      The Friendly Staff

Last but not the least, the staff of your nail salon must be friendly and polite to understand your requirement, and the techies must be interactive enough to manage and guide you through the best-suited procedures. This you can easily understand if you are in a salon and the people over there are just working on your demand with their blank faces. No suggestions, no recommendations and nothing else; you just get what you told. Believe us, how good the services may be but you will get pissed off feeler in hardly 15 minutes

All in all, if you are looking for a quality nail salon and the best of the services for you, you must be aware enough to differentiate between the goods and bads of the field to determine the benefits. Notably, with the increase in nail art trends and the demand for nail artists by customers, the competition has become really high, which in turn has raised the quality; but for some cases, the quality has fallen too. Need is to properly identify the fair players to establish a healthy and long-term relationship.

In many cases, the ladies fall ill and report skin problems just after they visit for their nail sessions, but mostly they fail to notice their salon as the main culprit of their sufferings.Cleanliness is next to Godliness and it is applicable here at this point too. Proper hygiene and proper care is an essential element when it comes to the beauty industry. The question may arise for the nail supplies brands too when it is about the authenticity. Quality products always have less or negligible side-effects while the bad can even destroy your natural beauty.
