Besides all the SO issues (prev. threads) , I have a cool story….
Last Friday I had my pedicure… as usual I left the salon with OPI Kangarooby nail polish. Coming home I had a good look at them and thought they looked smudgy.. Polish on the cuticles etc.. looked like I did them myself…
Today I was back at work… There is this one women to whom I shared my nail polish ‘thing’ with, and she knew I was at my regular nail salon last Friday so she asked me if she could see them… Being a nail-technician before, she was appalled by the quality of the paint job. Getting back at my desk, she send me an IM asking me if I would like to accompany her to the nail-salon the visits all the time… ‘You need a re-polish… They do a much better job’ she told me…
It was only 11:30 but quite slow day, so I agreed. I bit later we met up at the salon. When I walked in, she was already getting her pedicure and she told me to sit in the chair next to her. Wow, this salon looked so much better than I was used to. The chairs had built-in massage-stuff… the attached foot baths looked like mini hot-tubs… and the prices where half what I used to pay… Normally I pay 40 US$ for a pedicure… here it was 20… interesting..
I felt a bit awkward. This was the first time for me in a different salon. She told the lady I needed a polish change. I could tell they didn’t get a request like this every day,.. but after a few minutes the ice was broken and it was business like usual…
I walked out with OPI’s Dutch Tulips which she already picked it out for me… A reddish shade of pink… LOL.. Since I am Dutch (living in the US) it was quite appropriate. :happy:
It felt great... doing the girl thing... :jumping:
When I came home I told the whole story to my wife... I even brought her a business card back, so hopefull she wil go there too...
Guess where I am going next time….
Thought I would share this with ya..
