The fact that manicure has become an integral part of every decent girl's life is no longer a secret. In this regard, there are so many manicure masters that they can be found in salons, at home, and already on the territory of shopping centers. Moreover, the activities of those who do manicures and pedicures in the shopping center are somewhat different from those of salon and home masters.
This is an express manicure and pedicure. Let's take a closer look at all the features of quick nail care.
What is an express manicure?
Express manicure was created especially for those girls whose regime is so intense that there is simply no time to clearly plan your trip to the salon. Or just shopping at the mall, you can drop in for an "unscheduled" manicure or pedicure.
In other words, express manicure / pedicure is the same nail care, just come toit can be off-record, at any time. They do such a manicure in the halls of shopping centers. "Cabinet" consists of a table with all accessories for the service and chairs for the master and the client. As a rule, the place is not fenced and everything is in plain sight, consists of a couple of jobs.
Passing by such manicure "islands", you can see that there are always clients there. Yes, and such a procedure is cheaper than visiting a salon master.
Differences from the salon procedure
Having learned about what it is - an express manicure, it becomes clear that it is not essential, but still the procedure is somewhat different from the salon. What?
- The amount of time spent. If in the salon the master takes 40 minutes or an hour to serve 1 client, then in the mobile version it takes from 20 to 30 minutes. It's all about portability. In a shopping center, one master serves many more clients per day than in a salon.
- Manicure and pedicure paraphernalia in the "islands" of shopping centers is aimed at speeding up the procedure: gels that quickly soften the cuticle, gels that accelerate nail growth, etc.
- Price for the service. Since there are no costs for renting a salon space, the final price for the service will be slightly less. So, for example, in the salon, a classic manicure will cost 500 rubles, and an express one in a shopping center will cost 300-400 rubles.
- No recording time. That is, in the intervals between purchases, you can safely drop by the master and do nail care. If the master is busy at that moment, then the reception is carried out in the "live" orderqueue.

- The speed of the procedure will allow you to have time to do everything that was scheduled for the day, while becoming the owner of beautiful nails.
- Painless. Even despite the fact that beauty treatment on the hands is carried out in an intensive mode, the procedure does not cause discomfort and pain on the hands at all.

- After removing the cuticle, the master reapplies the antiseptic to remove the remnants of the previous remedy.
- After that, the master applies the selected varnish on the nails, and can also create any design on the nails, however, the last procedure will slightly increase the duration of the manicure session.
- Some masters at the end of the manicure apply a special fragrant cuticle oil, and then a nourishing hand cream.
Be careful before you sit in the chair to the master. He must clean the tools and work surface, and put on gloves for an express manicure.
Client Reviews
Reviews about express manicure are mixed. Some girls found this procedure very convenient and necessary in everyday life. Mainly because of her mobility. The price is also an attractive factor for many.
Those who oppose express manicure base their opinion on the fact that it is unsafe for he alth, because far from many masters observe disinfection.
Disadvantages of Express Manicure in the Mall
The procedure is not without its drawbacks, which you should be aware of before entrusting your hands to the nail master in the "manicure island".
- Discomfort. Arriving at such an express salon, you will have to sit for half an hour on an uncomfortable hard chair without a back. Already after 10minutes in the back felt discomfort. In addition, few people like it when passers-by can see the whole "underground" procedure. In the salon, you can relax in a comfortable chair or on a chair with a back and not see passers-by.
- Disinfection. It is logical to assume that with a high traffic of clients, most craftsmen, in pursuit of money, simply do not treat their tools with special antiseptic agents. This increases the risk of infection. A conscientious craftsman should not only use disposable (some) tools, but also disinfect the work surface and reusable tools.
- Aggressive manicure products. Although there is a plus in such preparations - they speed up the manicure procedure, they are still not completely safe. The thing is that some unscrupulous mini-salons use products created on solid "chemistry". As a result of their exposure to the skin, allergies and irritations may occur, which will require treatment. But there are also express salons that use natural preparations.
