Nail salons make money all year round, but they make tone more in the summer. Since more people are out and about people have the need to look good. To some people it’s part of their lifestyle and to have unique nails can almost be a status statement. No one wants to have the same nail design as someone else.
Nail salons are hiring some of the best just so they can give their clients their very own customized nail design. Most of these nail salons are Uptown. Such nail salons are Nail Lounge (4752 Broadway, New York), Nails On 7 (2449 7thAve Bet. 142nd & 143rd Street, Harlem), and Nail Factory & Hair (2421 Westchester Ave).
Nail Lounge has been put on the map by such reality stars from MTV’s Washington Heights and some of the ladies from Mobwives New York. Nails on 7 has been around for years and some of their customers are the ladies of Love & Hip Hop New York. Nail Factory & Hair is an up and coming nail salon that does great nails and hires great stylists. These nails salons also offer other services as well which is more convenient for their customers. Getting your nails and hair done all at once saves travel time and it’s just a lot easier to have it done all at one place. You can see the work of these nail salons on their Instagram page.
A lot of the designs for summer are bright colors. Neon’s are still great and if you want a more subtle color corals and pinks do the job. You can also dress up your nails with bows, flowers, Swarovski crystals and etc. It’s almost as if there were no limits to the kind of nail designs you can do especially for summer. I prefer bright colors in the summer time because I want my nails to be seen. I love bright greens, pinks and oranges. One of my favorite summer colors is white. It pops out and people can see your nails from anywhere.
Sometimes though it’s a little more difficult to get crazy with your nail design because of your job or school, but you can always try a reverse French manicure with colors that are soft, so that it’s more appropriate. Also having a regular French manicure is always a classic look that you can never go wrong with.
Below are a few pictures from the mentioned nail salons. Enjoy!!!
