Celebrating our 10th Anniversary! 2002 -2012

This year Nail Club & Spa celebrates its 10th Anniversary. Thinking of it makes me smile, how times quickly passes by and now we are on our 10^th year. Amazing! February is a very special month for me, not only that this is the month where we celebrate Valentines Day but also this is the month Nail Club & Spa was founded said the owner.

According to the owner, he often reminisces about the beginning of the salon where it was only just a family business with only a couple of people working as full time and some are only part-timers. The only focus of their salon way back then was about nail services. He said that he witnesses how the people appreciate their service and with that they become dedicated in giving more services. Now, the salon becomes one of the most popular salons not only in the area but in Colorado as well.

The salon already has 10 stylists working as full time to keep up with the demands from customers who come from different places. Their services from spa pedicure-manicure now include waxing, threading, skin care and eyelash extension. The salon tends to be more luxurious and more like full service spa salon than just a nail salon.

Nail Club and Salon started from a humble beginning. They first started to operate in an empty space in broken shopping center and the people’s impression usually sounds like this.

“Is there really a well known salon in here? How can they have customers in this location?”

But once they become experience its service their thoughts about the place changed and they said to themselves this is "hidden gem” or "secret place for beauty".

One of the customers’ testimonials goes like this…

“Let’s give credit to the couple; they work hard from day one, from the moment they found this place. I couldn't imagine how hard it was for both of them when they offered nails service only for local customers. They both worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week to serve their customers”

“Their policy was very clear and simple: serve others as the way you want to be served, keep up with all regulations and keep salon as clean, sanitized as possible. That simple policy for me is the root of their strong foundation. To be honest, the young couple is cultured of respecting older people that makes them win heart and soul of many seniors in area: They open the door, hang on the coat, serve the warm water in winter and put the shoes off for customers. These simple actions bring many customers closer to the salon as family members like me.”

Few years later the salon grew to 5 people working slowly but steady add more services like waxing and facial care, among others.

The real change started about 5 years later when Lisa Nguyen the well known stylist came from California join the staff.

Over 16 years in the beauty career, Lisa Nguyen had been served numbers of high profile customers in LA area California.

She is very skilled stylist, she started shaping eyebrow at very young age and she’s been performing eyelash extensions over 10 years. Her talent is not limited to that; she also does facial, skin care and waxing.

If you are a Colorado local you have probably heard of Lisa Nguyen, the eyelash extension girl, She is one of the to eyelash extension stylists in nation.

Along with many eyelash extensions and eyebrow threading customers flow in, the waxing customers increase dramatically.

Nail Club and Spa is probably the busiest salon in area for eyelash extensions, facial & eyebrow threading and waxing services. If you are thinking that they only serve ladies, you are wrong! Gentlemen are also fond of this place. They love having their manicure, pedicure and also waxing done here.

The salon has gone through remodeling and improving the quality of products, they are aiming for nothing but the best!

Looking back in April, 2010, the salon became one of the first salons offered Shellac & Gelish colors. This year, 2012, once again they are the first salon who installed Sanismart Jet system for all spa chairs; they use disposable liner on each pedicure. That is considered a big improvement in terms of sanitation, no more worries about bacteria on unclean pedicure tub.

Professionally, Nail Club & Spa enjoys continued success through the support of their customers, the hard work and dedication of its employees. They have done great things together over the last ten years.

Some other notable milestones for Nail Club & Spa include incremental improvements to their services. They are now one of the top salons in Colorado. They commit to continue offering great services to their customers at affordable prices.

The owner expresses his gratitude to all of our customers who have been going along with them in last 10 years. His final words are “we commit to serve you years to come”.

ABC News: Extreme Eyelashes: Are Eyelash Extensions the Answer?

Xtreme Lashes

ABC News’ Bianna Golodryga and Tracey Marx report:

Long, luscious lashes are everywhere you look these days, from the pages of glossy fashion magazines to the red carpet to reality TV.

For generations, “it” girls like the supermodel Twiggy and the reality TV star Kim Kardashian have gone to extreme lengths to enhance their eyelashes.

Those “it” stars have inspired millions of other women to do the same.

“Eyelashes are like a universal sign of beauty,” Dr. Eric Schweiger, a New York City dermatologist, told “ Good Morning America.”

If Mother Nature did not bless with you with naturally long lashes, you can now get help.

“More and more people are trying to seek out ways to enhance their eyelashes,” Schweiger said.

Today, there are over-the-counter products to condition and strengthen lashes, mascaras that promise to volumize and thicken lashes, and disposable lashes that can be glued on for a bolder look. There’s even a medication.

“Latisse is a medicine you apply to the eyelash skin, and it actually increases the growth phase of the eyelashes,” Schweiger said, referring to the prescription treatment that is the first and only FDA-approved eyelash growth product. “You get longer, fuller eyelashes.”

But for women who want long-term lashes without the pain of daily care, there’s a new alternative: eyelash extensions.

They’re the latest trend to hit Hollywood and day spas alike.

“This is one of the most addicting services a woman can do,” Laura Reina, a lash-extension specialist at the Avanti Day Resort in Manalapan, N.J., told “GMA.”

“The one thing that is great about these is that you can shower, swim, sauna, you can do anything with these lashes and look like you are fully made up,” she said.

Audra Whisten, 36, is a full-time sales consultant and mother of three from Freehold, N.J., who used to spend half an hour applying her mascara before she began to use eyelash extensions.

“When you get up in the morning, they’re there,” she said. “You look like you have mascara on. “ Now, she said, her mornings are simpler.

“I put blush on, I put lip gloss on and I’m done,” she said.

Terri Balsamo is another working mom who can’t imagine life without eyelash extensions.

“It’s easy in the morning,” the 45-year-old from Holmdel, N.J., told “GMA.” “I’m busy with my kids and my business, and I always look good. I deal with people every day, so I feel confident about myself.”

The eyelash extensions are applied individually to each eyelash in an initial application, and need to be refreshed every two to three weeks for maintenance. An eyelash extension stylist helps guide wearers to select the right look, length and thickness for their individual face.

The initial price for a full set of extensions is around $200. Maintenance appointments cost around $75 each. That makes the total cost for devoted eyelash extension wearers like Whisten and Balsamo around $1,500 per year.

“It makes you feel like you don’t have to wear eyeliner anymore because of the thickness and the darkness,” said Christine Delello, an Xtreme Lashes Stylist at Jeunesse Medical Spa in Holmdel, N.J.

“No more mascara with these,” she said. You don’t have to curl them. You really just feel like you need some lip gloss and that’s it.”

Winter Pedicure

I remember when I was at my younger age, I felt in love with a beautiful girl. I have to admit she was not my first love but she is the one I remember the most....

For guys, we are not emotional like woman but we love woman who has her own personality, who stands out from others, who is not only smart and funny but also sometimes can prove who she is, by doing things that may sound differently....

So anyway, what my girl friend make me crazy about her?

Actually I can not tell the whole story but there are few little simple things I can mention here what makes me remember her the most.

Somehow, every time I was weak, she came to me so strong and lifts me up. When I was sad, she came to me with happiness that makes me forgot about my sadness.

She cried when she was happy and she was so calm, cool when she was mad....

One of the things that impressed me the most was she liked to eat ice cream in cold days and she love pedicure in winter.....

Back at that time I was just so impressed and curious about her hobby. I didn’t understand how she loved to have pedicure done in winter time, I just appreciated how clean & beautiful her feet was. I can still close my eyes and picture on the night before Christmas, it was heavy snow outside, I sat on the sofa with her while watching a movie, she put both her feet on my lap, I could not forgot how beautiful her feet in front of me, I could smell the new color on her toes mixed with the lotion came from the pedicure that just did that afternoon. That smell came along with my life for years I never forgot...

Last Saturday, it was snow night I sat on the sofa watch TV by my self, I felt so lonely and all of sudden I missed her so much. I missed her beautiful feet, I miss that smell..... I decided to do a research about what the pedicure like in winter and why woman love it, why a guy like me so crazy about a little thing like that.

I went to Nail Club & Spa got the pedicure and I can understand why woman addicted to the pedicure in the winter.
I sat on the spa chair with the roller massage behind my back; they soak my feet in warm water with water massage system on my feet, then warm towel, warm lotion, warm hand massage and reflexology...... I was so in love with every thing here. Just imagine in cold day and you get warm up with hot water, warm lotion and massage....

What can make you feel better than that? I still miss my girl friend so much and I keep on thinking about those ladies who fall in love with pedicure in winter time that not only make them feel good but can also make more guys like me happy and appreciate.

Waxing

Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks, although some people will start to see re-growth in only a week. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrow, face, bikini area, les, arms, back and feet. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair.

Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair.

What is benefit of waxing?

There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal. It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. It is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks. When hair is shaved or removed by cream, the hair is removed at the surface rather than the root. Within a few days, the hair can be seen at the surface. With these methods, hair tends to grow back in rough stubble. Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit re-growth that is softer.

What are drawbacks of waxing?

If you don’t have experienced licensed Esthetician to perform the waxing then it can be painful, particularly in more sensitive areas. In the market you can see hundred brands of wax .Each salon may have their own favorite one.

In Nail Club & Spa we use Chocolate milk wax “It helps minimum the pain and much safer for the skin" said Ms. Nguyen the Cosmetologist at Nail Club & Spa.

When you do the wax you can be either super fast, quick and really good or you are slow that will be much more painful to customers.

She came from California where the spa she worked specializes in waxing, she missed the full day busy of waxing, and we wish we will have more and more customers for her to prove her skill.

“Ms. Nguyen can perform your whole body waxing within an hour” joked Keven one of her regular customer. She moves so fast that make you feel almost painless. She very experience in waxing: eyebrow waxing, chin waxing, face waxing, leg waxing, arm/underarm waxing, back waxing, foot waxing, chest waxing, entire body waxing, bikini waxing, Brazilian waxing....you name it, she does all!

Beside our female clients, we have number of male clients coming back for her waxing services. We also have some first time customers who feel nervous about waxing. This is quite natural and we understand this especially when you heard the rumor or story about the waxing experience of other people, it can really make you nervous. The key to take away your nervousness is to find an experienced beautician, this way you can relax because you know you are in good hands. Since all our beauticians are experienced, we never have any customer complain about the pain. It is just a piece of cake!

To sum it up, waxing is the best option with regards to your unwanted hair problems. It doesn't hurt as you imagine as long as you go the best beautician in town who knows how to do it fast and efficiently. Like what we have in Nail Club & Spa.

Shellac & Gelish

Do you want to have a nail polish that never chipped off for weeks? Then you better try Shellac and Gelish on your nails. This is the new trend when it comes to nail polish and the very first salon who introduces this is the Nail Club & Spa.

Shellac product was first introduced and started by CND on April, 2010. Since then, it became the hottest beauty product in the whole world until today.

When Nail Club & Spa heard about this product, they immediately conduct research and testing. They see to it that this product is really effective and not harmful to their customers. When they have proven that it is safe to use, their team started to bring Shellac color for their customers to enjoy in May, 2010. This makes them one of the first salon in Nation adopted new shellac to customers.

Since none of the salons in Colorado is using this product, many of the customers are confuse, intrigued and curious about it so they called Nail Club & Spa to inquire about it. Now, 90% of their customers are having Shellac and they are very happy with the results. The salon has done thousands of Shellac sets and they believe that there is no other salon can perform better than them.

So what exactly is Shellac?

Shellac is a nail product that lasts for at least 14 days without chipping, scratching, or smudging. Lasting 14 days is an accomplishment all by itself but Shellac does even more. Many women have noticed that their nails are stronger and healthier after using Shellac. Not only does it not damage their nail but also it improves the nails health too!

What is the technology behind Shellac?

In fact shellac use the same technology as gel color or color gel . Color gel already exists in the market for a while but the quality was very poor and they did not do well on marketing aspects.

The idea is very simple: mix small percentage of gel with the color that would make color last longer without damage nails from gel ". CND perfected the method and produces a better quality of gel and color and they name it “Shellac”. CND knows how to market their product very well that it becomes very popular. Many companies produces the same product with different name but failed miserably. However, there is one product that match the quality of Shellac and that is called “Gelish”.

What is Gelish?

Gelish is almost the same as Shellac but they offer more colors. Nail Club & Spa like both products, for them they are incomparable. They are better colors in Shellac than Gelish but there are also better colors in Gelish than in Shellac so it depends on the judgement of the expert.

The salon must be experienced to know which product suits their customers best. They should also know how to apply it properly because believe it or not, this is a very crucial step to please and satisfy the customers. It’s like having a haircut, if the customer didn’t like the outcome, the one who perform the job gets the blame.

Applying Shellac and Gelish is not an easy task, there should be zero damage on the nail to make it look real and to last long.

Nail Club & Spa states “"It took us 2 months to finger it out everything to make it perfect on that goal. Now we can do almost anything with Shellac and Gelish : mix color, french manicre, American manicure, design ......You name it!”

As you can see on internet you have ton of good things about Shellac and Gelish but there are also numbers of complain about it.

Here are the main things people complain about:

- Too thick, uneven and wrinkled.
- Chipped off too soon and sticky.
- Damage nails bed after takeoff.

If you share the same complains, you should find another salon that has experience about shellac-gelish. Everyone can have their nails applied with Shellac or Gelish, especially those who do not want artificial nails. The result is best to those who have a strong nail and it also suit those who wants to grown their nail longer. The bottom line is Shellac and Gelish color is still one of the best inventions in the beauty industry .The only the customers should do is chose the right salon for them and they will surely love it!
