10 Stories About People Who Didn’t Nail It At The Salon
Dear readers,
There are things we all miss about life in less… contagious… times. For some of us, it’s movie theaters or live theater or concerts. For others, it might be bars or bowling alleys. And for still others, it’s barbershops and salons.
During a year that’s been more stressful than any other in recent memory, one thing I miss more than ever is the relaxing feeling of being pampered in a nail salon. I miss the quiet bubbling of pedicure tubs, the buzzing of nail drills, and the satisfaction of walking out with shiny, bright colors on my fingers and toes. And more than anything, I miss the people-watching!
So! We’ve rounded up 10 stories from our archives about strange and frustrating encounters at nail salons. We hope they help remind you of all the irritations you’re avoiding by staying home! It worked for us.
