Our Visit
Miso Nail is on the 3rd floor so make your way up and find the entrance in the picture above. (More details on how to get there are below) Because the doors are closed, you may think they aren't open, but don't hesitate and walk in! The salon is cozy and so it's a very comforting atmosphere to be in. It's almost as if you are doing your nails at home.
On the left side of the room are the pedicure chairs and on the right are where you get your nails done.
The shelf that stores the nail polish is neatly displayed by color and is very satisfying to look at. There are so many colors available, they will most definitely have whatever color you are looking for. There is also a TV for customers to watch in case they get bored.
Behind the chairs is where you get your pedicure. They look so comfortable and face the TV, so relax and watch TV as you get your toes done!
Now that we've taken a look at the salon, let's get into the actual manicure procedure.
To start off, you are given a chart of nails that has all the available colors, so you can see how the actual nail polish colors appear on nail beds. Place your fingers on each color you are interested in and see which color fits best.
If you want a specific design, explain it to the nail technician or show them a picture of the design if you have one. You can also choose a design from their monthly designs chart. These designs change every month and come with a special deal. It is a more affordable option, so check them out!
Now that you've chosen a color or design, you're gonna get your nails prepared for the manicure. They file and shape your nails to the shape you want.
When the filing is done, they will brush off your nails so they are clean.
Next, they are going to clean your cuticles so they are clean. This gives the nail beds a cleaner look and apparently makes the nail polish last longer!
Nail preparation is complete! Clean and ready for color.
Next, a base coat is applied.
Most manicures in color are gel. Therefore, every layer applied must be cured with UV light to dry.
Before applying the full manicure, the nail technician will paint on a sample and show you the color to make sure you like the color. You can change the color 3 times before you find what you like best. We chose to color our nails in one shade and also chose a glittery one as an accent color.
Not all nail salons do this, but before you put your hands into the UV light, the nail technician will bake your fingers with a precision light one by one to make sure it is thoroughly baked.
When the main color is painted on, a top coat is applied on top to make it look glossy.
Your nails are then polished with nourishing oil and wiped with a warm towel.
Customers leave with satisfaction written on their faces which is inevitable considering how much attention to detail they provide. If you want to get your nails done at an affordable price, we recommend Miso Nail!
