Stephanie,

Thankyou for your post. You are 100 percent correct that we have to stop acting like we are doing something that is illegal!! We have every right to get our nails or hair done. If we are turned-away we can sue the salon for discrimination. Girls, please, stop acting like you are doing something wrong by getting your nails pedicures and painted. Sorry for the motherly tough-love, but sometimes the girls here need it. :2c:

Jamie :-)

I will still maintain that any nail salon that wants to stay in business will want to do your nails. It would be crazy to turn away a paying customer. I do note that the one place you say made fun of you behind your back STLL did your nails, didn't they? They were happy to take your money for services rendered. As long as we consider what we do to be shameful and wrong, others will have a hard time accepting our behavior.

It's NOT wrong to get a manicure. You have EVERY right to paint your nails ANY D**MN color you want. Starting off your relationship with a nail salon by "asking" if they will please do your nails, is to admit to yourself and to them that there MUST be SOMETHING wrong with you. NOT, NOT, NOT! There is NOTHING wrong with you. You are a paying customer. They are selling a service. Nowhere does it say on the sign, "Nail salon for GGs only". . . . . JUST WALK IN.

I would be interested in hearing from ANYONE who was asked to leave a nail salon because they were not a GG. I'll bet there are precious few, if any.

OK, OK, I admit the possiblility that somewhere, someone, sometime, might have a problem with it. There are an awful lot of people out there. But really, that's not the way to go about it. Call ahead if you think you must. Make an apointment. Then they will be waiting for you. I guess it can't hurt. Just seems to me like admitting defeat before you even get started.

Lovies,
Stephenie
