Le Travail Nail Studio

Have you ever wondered why certain geographical regions tend to gravitate towards distinctive nail shapes, lengths, and art styles?

Probably not until now.

This is a subject that my brain has spent an extensive amount of time musing about, so I thought I would launch a silly full-scale investigation into this in order to report back to the internet. Any reader will immediately catch a whiff of my hyper fixation on my profession and understand the plight of my poor clients who get to hear me brain-dump all this information during their appointments.

My plan is as follows:

• List out major US cities/states that I’ve noticed have very noticeable nail dialects
• Create a market research report listing the following:
  • City/state/region name
  • Number of licensed nail technicians in specified area
  • Average cost of nail services
  • Pictures of popular nail art/styles
  • Largest religious population
  • Red or Blue voting district (just for kicks and giggles)
  • Main profession and average salary of working age women in the area 
  • Any additional facts I think of along the way
  • A nickname for the regional style based on the data that will describe the nail dialect

Leave a comment with a region that has a specific nail style if it’s not mentioned here. Here are some places I’ve noticed thus far in the USA. I plan to expand this series outside of the country, but I haven’t been fortunate enough to travel abroad and experience these things for myself yet. 

 – Utah

 – Houston, TX

 – Arizona

 – Los Angeles

 – Washington D.C.

 – Portland, OR

I’m excited to see this project develop! 

-Smooches!!
