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.
The potential for a cost savings is high. Salons charge anywhere from $35 to $45 dollars for a gel nail polish manicure; stores are selling âgelâ polish for less than $10. âI am curious to see how it turns out,â said Inga Middleton, one of the testers. After two weeks, there was no doubt that the salon gel polish held up far better.
