Glamor On Your Terms: The Transformative Power of Press-Ons
You may have seen blog posts or heard it during conversations that going to the salon is the only way to get a long lasting, comfortable, and beautiful set of nails. Or why going to a nail technician is the best choice for what you need. You may also have a belief that the salon is the only place to find a good nail artist.
Now, I’m not saying I will never go to a salon or trying to talk down about nail technicians. What I am saying is there’s an alternative to the salon and I want everyone to know about it. Especially the nail lovers who can’t make it to the salon due to being too shy, too sick, or too busy.
So today, I want to SHOW you why luxury press-on nails are a great choice for everyone but the best choice for introverts and people who can’t go to the salon due to medical conditions.
If you have questions like:
- What’s so special about luxury press-on nails anyway?
- What would I gain by working with a luxury press-on nail artist?
- Is investing in luxury press-ons worth it?
This blog post is for you.
Glamor On Your Terms: The Transformative Power of Press-Ons
My own story
Before I dive into the benefits of luxury press-on nails, you should know why Bella Luna Nails is even around. Although we cater to anybody who loves press-ons, at our core we created this business to give people with autoimmune disorders and mental health issues an alternative to the salon.
In 2021, after returning from Morocco to see my husband, I ended up being diagnosed with lupus. It was the first time I had ever been hospitalized in my life — and during a pandemic. Imagine a daily existence with no friends or family, sitting on the same bed for hours, and not being able to shower. It was intense.
As a nail lover myself, I always loved having my nails done but hated going to the salon. After my diagnosis, I knew going to the salon was never going to be part of my routine. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it still hurt not being able to find a salon that took hygiene seriously (especially in terms of air quality).
Understanding The Challenges
As an introvert, the idea of sitting in a chair and making small talk with someone for a whole 2 hours scared me so much that I decided to learn how to do my own nails. As an introvert with anxiety, even the thought of picking up the phone to make an appointment was something I couldn’t stand.
The salon can be intense for those of us who prefer quieter atmospheres and who thrive on solitude. There’s constant chatter, it can be a noisy environment, and simply being surrounded by others can be draining.
Similarly, people with medical needs have a difficult time finding a salon that can fully meet our needs. Whether it’s sensitivity to noise or having a weakened immune system, it’s tough to find a salon and a nail tech that understands and is willing to accommodate you. A good portion don’t even think about these needs when designing their businesses.
Both introverts and people with medical needs deserve to have spaces that cater to them. We deserve to be able to take part in self-care rituals.
Luxury press-on nails offer a transformative solution for people who can’t, or don’t want to, go to the salon. They offer a versatile and empowering option for self-expression, self-care, and self-love.
The Rise of Press-On Nails
Press-on nails are not what they were when we were growing up. Over the past few years, they’ve undergone a huge transformation from flimsy adhesive tabs to evolving to truly rival the quality, look, and feel of a traditional salon manicure.
Since the pandemic, the rise of DIY nail trends have encouraged companies to introduce new products for at-home nail solutions. Today, you can find press-on nails in an extensive array of designs, made of various materials, and offer all shapes and lengths.
In my opinion, the biggest innovation has been perfecting the nail tips so they are thin near the cuticle and thicker towards the top so it can withstand daily wear. The thin cuticle area means the nails look more natural.
The rise of press-on nails has empowered individuals to take control of their beauty routines on their own terms. Whether you're a busy professional with limited time for salon visits or someone who prefers the comfort and privacy of home, press-on nails offer a convenient solution.
Luxury Press-On Nails As the Solution
If you want a salon-quality manicure without the salon hassle, luxury press-on nails provide a safe, comfortable, and luxurious alternative. Luxury press-on nails allow people with medical issues as well as introverts the opportunity to indulge in self-care without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
One of the key benefits for introverts and people with anxiety, is the ability to take control of their beauty experience entirely without ever speaking with anybody. All you have to do is provide a description of what you want and some pictures for inspiration then just sit back, relax, and wait for your nails to arrive.
And for individuals with medical conditions or physical limitations that make it difficult to visit a traditional salon, it can feel impossible to have nice nails. No, it’s not a necessity but it does provide a level of confidence we should all be able to access.
One of the primary advantages of luxury press-on nails for people with medical conditions is the convenience they offer. Unlike salon visits, which may require travel, waiting times, and exposure to potential health risks, press-on nails can be applied in the comfort and safety of one's own home. This level of accessibility is invaluable for individuals with compromised immune systems or limited mobility.
Luxury press-on nails also offer a hygienic alternative to traditional salon services, reducing the risk of infection for individuals with medical vulnerabilities.
This is particularly crucial for those undergoing medical treatments or managing chronic conditions that require strict adherence to hygiene protocols.
