Was thinking about my mani pedi salon experiences over time especially those when getting color and it dawned on me that often (not always) I get the cold shoulder from the other female patrons. This got me thinking about the fact that this has to be how women felt when breaking down the barriers to men only establishments or at least traditionally men only venues. Kind of funny I get the same treatment! Hopefully this changes with time or it could just be one more glaring double standard we have to face. Would think forward thibking salon owners would encourage expanding their customer base by double and will wake up to the need to be more welcoming. My experiences have mostly come when traveling so not being a frequent guest or familiar face could be factoring into my experience.... no.matter mostly bringing this up to hear what your experiences have been like. how you may have broken the ice or even a funny story or two from which Amanda can draw from.
