Thankful for My Nail Tech!

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart Real Estate AZ Broker BR030809000

 

For years I had a great nail tech and then she retired.  I hopped around for a couple of years trying out different salons but I didn't find anyone as good as her.  Finally about 5 or 6 years ago I found another great nail tech.  Her name is Kim and she pays incredible attention to detail and listens to what I want done. I keep my nails short and red and she knows that! I'm not fussy when it comes to nails, I just want them to look nice and well manicured.

 

A couple of weeks ago Kim was on vacation.  I called to make an appointment with someone else in the shop.  Well needless to say he wasn't that great. One nail broke within a day and another one broke the next week plus they were way too long.  That just doesn't happen when Kim is in charge!

 

Yesterday I called to make sure Kim was back in town. It wasn't quite time to get my nails done but I couldn't stand the broken & chipped nails anymore so I went in early.  Thankfully she was back in town and all is good once again. Plus the extra added bonus is Kim is such a fun person and we laugh a lot together. Our birthdays are within a day of each other and we are sure we are twins from a different mother!  LOL. It may seem like a very simple thing being grateful for my nail tech - But I am - BIG TIME! Thanks Kim!

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 whether it's a nail salon or hair salon, once you find the "right fit" hang on to him/her.... I have a hair stylist who does great color, highlights and styling.... she promised me that she would give my color formula to the local undertaker so I can have the right color and highlights.... I'm going to be pissed if I have silver gray showing...no roots!!! ugh

Hi Anna... my nail person to whom I am very loyal is also named Kim! I hate messy nails on hands and feet... probably because my father always told me you can tell a lady by her hands.

I kind of miss having a nail tech.  What happened several years ago, when I began swimming a lot of laps, was that I couldn't keep a good manicure.  So, I now kind of do them myself.  They aren't as special as when a professional did them, but I get by.

Anna yes a good nail tech is a must, I don't know what I would do without mine

Funny how we sometimes do realize how much we depend on some people until they go away for a vacation and we need to use someone else during that time.

Anna- it's not easy finding someone who you can trust to do your nails or your hair the way you want it done. My beautiful hair stylist moved to Hawaii recently but she made sure that all of her clients were taken care of. She left us in good hands with Jennifer who already knew what we wanted.

I think it's wonderful you have a special bond with your nail tech. It's a relationship right up there with a good hair stylist. Enjoy the weekend, Anna. D

Hi Anna,
I used to have my nails done but never did find any consistency.  I finally got tired of them jabbering to each other in Vietnamese and not doing what I asked, then having to pay for it.  I don't have acrylics and I do my own now.  Glad Kim is there for you!  If I need mine done when I'm down there, I know who to call.

How fun, Anna. I would never have thought about a nail tech, but you are right. It is like having a hairdresser you can't live without.
