Going to a nail salon is a fun activity for women of all ages. Nails are enjoyed throughout the whole year, whether it is for a casual weekend activity or a special occasion. Whether you are getting a gel manicure, acrylic nails, or just a pedicure, the experience and quality of the nail salon are vital. When you walk into a nail salon, you first want to see a warm welcome, a clean facility, and talented nail techs. Locally, there are several great options for nail salons. All have different experiences, quality, and pricing.

One of the first things you notice about a nail salon is how it looks. A nail salon should have a clean and relaxing aesthetic for its customers. If you walk into a nail salon and it is unorganized, unprofessional, and not clean, you’re definitely going to question the quality of the nail salon. Most nail salons are small and have a similar layout, with manicure stations and pedicure stations, and sometimes they may have other services like makeup and hair as well. Luxicure nail salon in Hatfield, PA, is a great example of a salon that invests in its appearance and professional look. Although Luxicure has more expensive prices, they have great experiences for someone getting their nails done. Samantha Link, a senior at Pennridge High School, feels that “the higher prices at luxury are fair because they are a higher-end salon and you get good quality nails.” Samantha and many others are willing to pay a higher price for a better experience along with better quality.

One of the most commonly discussed topics surrounding nails is pricing. One of the most common services at a nail salon, a full set of acrylic nails, can range anywhere from $25-$100. With such a wide range of pricing, many factors play into what customers are willing to pay for nails, whether it is the salon’s quality, experience, or convenience. Locally, the cheapest nail salon for a full set of acrylic nails is Kim’s Nail Salon in Souderton, PA. They charge a baseline price of $35 for a full set of acrylic nails using gel polish. Kim’s Nail Salon may not have the same high-end experience like Luxicure would, but they are definitely the most affordable nail salon, and its quality is impressive considering its price.

Nails are common whether for a special occasion or just an activity with your friends. It is definitely important to pick a nail salon based on what you care about most, whether that is price, quality, or experience. If you and a couple of friends want to go out to get your nails done for a fun activity, you may want to look at lower-priced nail salons. If your someone who is scheduling your nail appointment for your prom or a wedding, a higher-end nail salon with a better experience and quality is probably what you are looking for. Regardless of where you choose to get your nail done, you can also count on it being a fun experience and treating yourself to professionally done nails.
