The fact that manicure has become an integral part of the life of every decent girl is no secret to anyone. In this regard, there were so many manicure masters that they can be found in salons, at home, and already in 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.
It is about express manicure and pedicure. We’ll take a closer look at all the features of quick nail care.
What is express manicure?
Express manicure was created specifically for those girls whose mode is so intense that there is simply no time to clearly plan your trip to the salon. Or simply, making purchases in the shopping center, you can drop by the "unscheduled" manicure or pedicure.
In other words, express manicure / pedicure is the same nail care, you can only come to it without an appointment, at any time. 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 client. As a rule, the place is not fenced and everything in sight, consists of a couple of three 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.

- Attributes for manicure and pedicure on the "islands" of shopping centers are aimed at speeding up the procedure: quickly softening cuticle gels, gels that accelerate nail growth, etc.
- Price for the service. Since the cost of renting a salon is not required, the final price for the service will be slightly less. So, for example, in a salon a classic manicure will cost 500 rubles, and an express in a shopping center will cost 300-400 rubles.

- After removing the cuticle, the master reapplies the antiseptic agent to remove the remnants of the previous agent.
- After that, the master applies the selected nail polish to the nails, and can also create any design on the nails, however, the last procedure will slightly increase the duration of the manicure session.

Customer Reviews
Reviews about express manicure are mixed. Some girls found this procedure very convenient and necessary in everyday life. Mainly due to its mobility. Price is also an attractive factor for many.
Those who oppose express manicure base their opinion on the fact that it is unsafe for health, because not many masters observe disinfection.
Disadvantages of express manicure in the shopping center
The procedure is not without its drawbacks, which you should know about before you entrust your hands to the nail master in the "manicure island".
- The discomfort. Arriving at such an express salon, you will have to sit on an uncomfortable hard chair without a back for half an hour. After 10 minutes, discomfort is felt in the back. In addition, few people like it when passers-by can see the whole "ins and outs" of the procedure. In the cabin, 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 large cross-country of clients, most masters in the pursuit of money simply do not treat their tools with special antiseptic agents. This increases the risk of infection. A conscientious master should not only use disposable (some) tools, but also disinfect the work surface and reusable tools.
- Aggressive products for manicure. Although there is a plus in such preparations - they speed up the manicure procedure, nevertheless they are not completely safe. The thing is that some unscrupulous mini-salons use tools created on a solid "chemistry". As a result of their exposure to the skin, allergies and irritations may appear, which will require treatment. But there are also express salons that use natural preparations.
