I have been going to the same nail salon every two weeks for the past four years. Recently, the owner lost the salon to his ex-wife in their divorce and the tension in the salon is almost palpable. Many of the nail techs have left to go to other salons but my nail tech has chosen to stay. I was secretly hoping she would leave, thereby allowing me to change salons without feeling any guilt. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's not that she does a terrible job...just that I feel she only puts forth the minimum of effort when doing my manicure and pedicure. I always tip 30% so I know it's not that. The last time I went, I messed up my toenail polish on the way out of the salon. This was a Friday morning and by Sunday, it was bugging me so I made an appointment at another salon to get it fixed, since my nail tech is off on Sundays. I also decided to change the polish on my fingernails to something a little more "springy." Well, I didn't realize what I'd been missing until I got a pedicure and a manicure from someone else. Although she didn't take any more time, she was gentler with me and the polish just looks nicer. How can I "break up" with my long-time nail tech without hurting her feelings? I have a standing appointment every other Friday morning. How can I text her and tell her I'm not coming back without a really good reason? She's basically a nice person...I'm just ready for a change.
