I'm a nail tech and a few years ago the salon that I was working at closed. :-((( So I was in search for a new place to work. Several places I looked at were dirty and dusty. Even the high end places. It would drive me nuts to sit in a dirty environment. Whether I was working or getting my nails done.
Being a nail tech the first thing I look for is the finished result and how clean it is, I always sterilize my tools and bring my own. 90% of the salons where I live don't clean there tools they just put them in a draw ready for the next person!

What's the first thing you notice or look for when you walk into a salon? Do any of you take your own files or implements with you?

Lol good to know by the lack of response I'm guessing people don't pay attention.

I always tell my clients if they ever go to another salon then to pay attention to how quickly one customer gets up before the next one sits down
