I have been seeing the same girl at the same salon for almost 3 years now – through the years my nails have gotten more intricate, with me getting designs almost every visit. I started to notice that my prices were gradually creeping up while my friend’s prices increased only slightly.
I have loved my artist and being able to work with the same person for this amount of time has been great, and I am always happy to pay whatever the cost may be! Her time is valuable and so is her art, but across the last couple sets I have gotten the pricing seems off. The nails pictures set off red flags in my head that there may be something off with what I am being charged.
I’d love some opinions or thoughts so I can either dispel the anxious thoughts and corner riding for my girl, or accept my fate and find a new artist. I’ve included details below for context!
