Oh, honey, you lookin’ for a place to get your nails did, huh? And you want someplace close by, right? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t always easy findin’ a good place, especially if you want one run by folks like us. I hear ya, you want african american nail salons near me. That’s what you’re typin’ into that Google thing, ain’t it? You want somebody who understands our hair, our skin, our nails. Somebody who knows what they’re doin’ with color, and won’t leave you lookin’ like a fool. We need to take care our nails.
Now, I ain’t no expert on that internet thing, but I know a thing or two about gettin’ your nails done. Back in my day, we just went to whoever was closest and hoped for the best. Now, you got all these fancy salons and spas. You ask me how much it is to do nails, well, that depends. My friend Mary, she went to one of them fancy places down the road. It’s in that new buildin’. She paid a pretty penny, I tell ya. But her nails did look nice, I gotta admit. They did somethin’ called a, a… “pedi-cure”? Sounds fancy, right? Cost her a good chunk of change, though. Like $70 or $100 I think! Can you believe that?
But you don’t always need to spend that much. There’s a place up on Main Street, not too far from the old grocery store. They do a good job, and they ain’t too expensive. I think they charge like, maybe $20 or $50 for that “pedi-cure” thing. They got all them colored polishes, too. Reds, pinks, even them sparkly ones. Oh, lord, the sparkly ones! If you want african american nail salons near me, that’s a good place to start, I reckon.
And then you got to think about what kind of nail you want. Some of them places put on them fake nails. Long ones, short ones, all different shapes. I saw a girl the other day with nails so long, she couldn’t hardly pick up her own purse! I don’t know how she does it. Me, I like to keep mine natural. Just a nice shape and a pretty color. But that’s just me. It’s your nails, honey. You do you.
- You gotta find a place that’s clean, though. That’s important.
- You don’t want no dirty tools or nothin’ like that. Nasty!
- And make sure they know what they’re doin’.
- You don’t want nobody messin’ up your nails.
- You gotta look at them reviews online, too. See what other folks are sayin’.
But if you want a place where you feel comfortable, where the people understand you, you gotta look a little harder. You might have to drive a little further, maybe. There are a few places like that around, but they ain’t always easy to find. Some are really big, some are small. It depends what you like. But it’s worth it, though. It’s nice to be around your own folks, ain’t it?
I heard there’s a new place openin’ up soon, down by the old mill. Heard it’s gonna be run by a young woman, name of… oh, what was it? Starts with a “C”, I think. Cianna, maybe? Somethin’ like that. Heard she’s good, too. Real good. Might be worth checkin’ out when it opens. I know there was some trouble there, somethin’ about a fire. Poor thing. But I reckon she will open again.
Now, there’s another place in Hampton. That’s a bit of a drive, though. But I hear good things. If you’re ever down that way, you might want to check it out. It is not so close to you though, it is in Virginia. So if you are not in that area, then you do not go, you hear me? You need to find african american nail salons near me. That’s the important part.
This whole nail thing is a big business, I tell you what! All these places opening up. It’s hard to keep track! But just remember honey, no matter where you go or what you do with your nails, make sure you’re happy with it. That is very important.
And don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you don’t understand somethin’, ask! Don’t let them rush you, either. It’s your money, and your nails. You take your time and make sure you get what you want. And if you want to find those african american nail salons near me, you just keep lookin’. You’ll find somethin’. They are there. You will see.
And one more thing. Don’t forget to tip! Them girls work hard, and they deserve a little somethin’ extra. Even if it’s just a few dollars, it makes a difference. So, you be generous, you hear? Treat them girls right, and they’ll treat you right, too. Just remember that, ok? And your nails will be lookin’ good.
