Getting your nails done may no longer be the luxury, therapeutic experience you’ve grown accustomed to over the years. If you are a spur-of-the-moment type of gal, the experience may be out of the question altogether since many salons are requiring appointments and turning away walk-ins. Mandatory appointments aren’t the only thing troubling salon-goers. Chances are, your whole nail salon regime has changed, and in most cases, not for the better.
The Headache and the Hassle
From beginning to end of the appointment, many have noticed significant changes in routine since their last trip to their favorite nail spa. Upon arrival, some clients are not even allowed to wait inside the salon. If you are a few minutes early to your appointment, and not being serviced right away, you may be asked to wait in your car or outside. This safety precaution eliminates the possibility of being exposed to COVID while waiting in proximity of other customers. Although helpful, this is not necessarily comfortable. Once inside, you may be asked to participate in a temperature check, and if you are accustomed to enjoying a glass of Pinot Grigio while being pampered, you can probably forget about that too. You may also have to bring your own supplies to help cut down on cross contamination. Some nail salons are even using screen partitions made of plexiglass to further separate each station, adding to the new-found awkwardness of the whole experience.
That being said, even with every protective measure in place possible, there is still no guarantee that you will not contract the virus while getting your nails done. If you may need to purchase nail products for your visit anyway, why not protect your well-being and opt to do the job yourself in the safety of your own home?
Just DIY (Do It Yourself)
Now, more than ever before, many people are deciding that their health means more than indulging in a non-necessity. A great alternative to visiting a nail salon or spa is to simply do the job yourself. Social media outlets such as YouTube and Facebook are filled with videos and examples of successful DIY nail projects. From lengthy, bedazzled, and trendy, to short and sophisticated, the possibilities are simply endless. Save yourself the headache and the hassle and check out a few products to add some glamour and pizzazz to those nails on your own.
