How to choose a nail salon?
  

    Manicures and Pedicures are one part maintenance, one part pampering and one part social fun.  There are many things to think about when it comes to the perfect nail salon for you.

    When it comes to finding the best nail salon in Chicago for you, you should evaluate the salon’s cleanliness, quality of work,  quality of products used, timeliness and convenience of location.

First and foremost, cleanliness is the most important.  At the Nail Salon at Fringe, our motto is “cleanliness is next to godliness”.  Don’t be surprised if you see a bottle of Clorox Everyday Sanitizer left out, we use lots of it.
 At Fringe, we use a 5 step approach to keeping your health at the forefront of our services:
1. All manicure tables and product bottles are wiped down with Clorox Everyday Sanitizer.
2. All of our expert Nail Techs begin by using hand sanitizer.
3. With each and every manicure service, a new manicure kit is used.  These kits include a new nail file, buffer, pumice and orange wood stick.  We send you home with these tools after your service to maintain your look between visits.
4. Our professional grade metal tools are sanitized in our special sonic cleaning machines filled with the highest quality           industry disinfectant created specifically for manicure and Esthetics tools.
5. Pedicure tubs are pipeless magnetic jets that are cleaned and sanitized with a special cleanser in between each use. This ensures the “perfect pedicure”

        All of the services at the Nail Salon at Fringe, begin with a consultation regarding your concerns about the health and shape of your nails.  We also like to discuss any wishes or goals you may have for your nails. We understand that many individuals have specific concerns regarding their cuticles and want to ensure the greatest experience possible.
    At Fringe, we understand that lifestyle and body chemistry play an important role in how long your perfect manicure will last.  We keep in stock a large variety of brands and types of base coat, polish and top coat to find the best match for you.  We take the time to discuss and solve past issues or concerns. It is these little things that set our work apart.
