Lately, whenever I turn on the fan (not even the AC necessarily), a tangy smell like Elmer's School Glue or caulk comes out of the vents. The mechanics at Firestone don't recognize the smell.
Many salon workers face low wages, so tipping is their means of making ends meet. (And on that note, if you suspect your salon has poor conditions for its employees, report it to your local public advocate's office.) Tip 20% for a standard manicure, more if you feel your service was exceptional.
Over the past few years, though, you may have noticed your nail salon offering whatâs known as a gel manicure, a service that lasts for two weeksâsometimes longerâwithout chipping or peeling. Brand name gel products include Creative Nail Designâs Shellac, OPIâs Axxium Gel and Nail Harmonyâs Gelish.
