Spa Services

I'm so excited to be learning new manicure and pedicure spa services. The products are soothing, refreshing and exciting. We have a Citrus and Almond product for the nails and an Earth and Marine product for the feet.

Both products sooth dry skin and refresh tired hands and feet.

I'm so excited that I'll be taking a few classes to become a master educator in the near future. That will require me doing gels but hey, since it's the in thing, why not?

If you're feeling like a much needed pick-me-up,
call me at Premier Salon (313) 245-2477, for your appointment. All new clients receive 10% off their nail service and you'll also receive a manicure/pedicure club card. Call for more details.

See you soon!!!

Shop Talk

Chrystal's Nails is wishing everyone a lovely morning. Speaking of love, in this edition of Shop Talk we had a client who shared her wonderful New Year's Eve story but she may be stopping her party before it starts.

She came in for a french and exuded post holiday cheer. She went on about her date and the smile on her face let me know he may be someone very special. But here's the thing, they played a little phone tag and he/she haven't kept in touch.

She is apprehensive about calling him, but this is 2010. I thought if you want it, go get it.

It's hard to find another person who puts an unconditional smile on your face. I suggested she give careful thought and considering calling. After all it's February and we're all in need of a little extra heart smarts.

My love quote for Ms. Apprehensive, "Love is hard as is but when you feel it, embrace the mystery."
That's all for now, stay tuned the nail girl is close to finding a new home. Cheers!

Shop Talk

A client called Chrystal's Nails and needed a service and a chat. No problem. The client came and received superb service and a listening ear but she wanted more, advice.

She presented the scenario and then asked me to "help" her make a decision. I was clear on what she wanted to do but it was so personal, I hesitated. She needed to decide the plight of her life on her own.

Scenario: Client is married with a child. Ten years later she realizes her child does not belong to her husband. Client had child while she was married. Client wants to come clean and clear her conscience.

I told client to pray and ask God for help. I also told her to seek counseling. She wasn't satisfied with my answers but I advised her to get professional help.

At the end of the day, I couldn't take responsibility for her actions.

Let's pray that she makes the right decision. Stay tuned for more thrilling scenarios at Chrystal's Nail Shop Talk!

Customer Service

Chrystal's Nails take great pride in complete customer satisfaction. Treating clients with special care and respect is paramount. It's what keeps clients coming back for more. I believe the experience is more than 50 percent of the product. How many times have you made a decision to frequent a business based on how you felt after you walked out? Personally I've returned merchandise or banished businesses forever because of poor customer service.

I put the you in your experience. The next time you get a manicure or pedicure or any service for that matter, tell the representative how their service made you feel.

Winter Nails

Dry cuticles, don't be discouraged and embarrassed with snags and bleeding cuticles. Make sure you oil your cuticles twice a day. Also frequent manicures by a licensed manicurist will help maintain soft and smooth nails and healthy cuticles.

During this recession ask your manicurist for ways to save on services by frequent manicure clubs, referrals and reward programs. She/he may even create one just for you. As an example, I like to offer my clients a frequent manicure card. Each time you visit, your card is punched and after nine punches your manicure is free.

Here are a few January 2010 promotions that I offer. Purchase 10 manicures in advance and receive a 20% discount. Refer two clients who book an appointment and receive 50% off your entire bill. Purchase a pedicure and receive 50% off your manicure.
