Did I just get scammed at the nail salon?
Hi ladies, I just left the salon and I’m low-key shocked. I only got a simple one-color SNS on my short natural nails with no extensions, no designs, nothing fancy. The total was $70 plus I left a $12 tip, so about $85 with tax. Am I crazy, or is that way too much for such a basic service? I rem

Beginner nail tips from a semi retired nail tech 💅
1. Quality over Quantity ✅️ I get wanting to improve speed. However, if you're fresh out of school, speed will come with time. My "good" sets used to take about 3-4 hours for basic french, even longer for designs! Slow down, REALLY pay attention to each step you do, and take your time!
