I Visited a Luxury Nail Salon in Korea 💸💅🏻

[@vincalynj945]

The nail artist's work is so detailed and her cleanliness is unmatched. The fact that she uses jewelry pieces...WOW! Honestly, I would definitely pay the price because it's worth it. Anytime you find a nail artist that really cares about their work and the client is rare within itself these days. Simply beautiful 10/10!!!

[@gogoldiego]

Agree, I'll pay for cleanliness, massage, great customer service, and skills.

[@냐옹-n8h]

Excuse me. I am Korean, and my dream is to do nail salons in the U.S. or English-speaking countries. In Korea, nail care is not irritating but meticulous for long-lasting.. On the other hand, I heard that it is more important to get your nails done quickly than to get them done meticulously. I also heard a scary rumor that if you do wrong nail care and bleed, you'll be sued... I've even heard that I have to pay a lot of compensation. I'd like to ask if this is true. I am using a translator because I am not good at English.. I'm so sorry if you're rude. I'd like to ask for advice.🙇‍♀️😭🙏

[@beccaa7638]

@@냐옹-n8h yes for western countries like the UK and the US clients/customers prioritise getting their nails done quickly and care a lot less about nail prep and more about the look of the final design. Yes in America clientele is risky as people can sue you for nail damage/ infection. You can avoid that by asking clients to sign a waiver before you work on their nails describing the risks of getting their nails done this makes it more difficult for them to claim damages later on. However, things like this aren’t an everyday occurrence/thing and are unlikely for most. Don’t be afraid and focus on your goal

ALL nail salons should be clean and sanitary

Those nails are so gorgeous and I would definitely wear them.

I would. These aren't my everyday.But definitely would if given opportunity ❤

[@Arffff03]

From a nail tech perspective, she doesn’t do the separate brush for polish for sanitary reasons. It’s to have a cleaner shape, and for possibly better control of the polish.

[@svalerie98]

Do you hear what you're saying? $700.00 for nails is absurd. Even if I was a celebrity, I wouldn't blow my money like that. Price gouging is everywhere now and it's unbelievable.

[@Uberkilltoecheese]

@@svalerie98 well obviously people are buying it no problem, so it isnt absurd. people create the demand, and she can price accordingly for her skills, if she's being swamped and overworked at $500 its a no brainer she would charge more its just supply and demand people, simple economics

[@aprilfarence4679]

I think parts of it were worth the money but $75 for some glued on full cover tips that you could do at home is ridiculous.

Props to the nail tech just her detail you can tell she loves what she does

[@echoingemotions]

Expensive? Yes. Matches the work, effort, dedication, and sheer beauty of it all? YES.

[@beige_ricaforte]

i just wanna say these style/set are not for everyone but as a nailart enthusiast i can definitely sit 6-7 hours for those! 😭😭 I do my own nails at home and with a movie on, i'm sitting on my own for 4-5 hours 😂

[@littleblueorchid]

Same! But not as long maybe 3-4 hrs from start to finish 😊

[@Weeks25]

Same, takes me about 3-4. I thought I was the only one. But I notice every little flaw an want to prefect it until I finally gotta say to myself alright your done. It’s so much harder to do your own. I’m not into the bling nails although I like them they just aren’t for me. I’m to casual to walk around with rhinestones on my nails. I would for a wedding or something like that. My 17 year old loves them all day every day!

[@Foodreview3.0]

Me too 3-4 hours

[@victoriagomez2235]

A question here. How long do these nails last? Like a week?

[@maybelline127]

@@victoriagomez2235 hi I do nails myself too and they can last for maybe 2 months max! This is because your nail would grow past your apex(the core of your nail) making it easier to break a nail so 2 months max for safety concerns. If your application is wrong they would be lasting about a week 🤣

[@charityrocks]

I do nails like this. I have been a nail tech for 20 years but recently retired simply because people just don’t want to pay for quality work anymore. I am so tired of young ladies coming in with pics like this and no money. I can’t do nails worse on purpose so I think I am done. Thank you for showcasing this woman and giving her the respect she deserves ❤ You are helping women like her more than you know by making this video. I wish all ladies had your class.

I also do nails like this, I'm a nail tech in Michigan and some people are flabbergasted by my pricing.

[@jazz-axy9924]

Not a nail tech but I used to decorate cakes and it's the same. People would pick the biggest fanciest cakes but don't want to pay the fancy price. Not being able to decorate to my full potential became frustrating.

Omg same but I do makeup, my style is very over the top lol (like drag queen style) and people would show me photos of my work asking for the exact one then rolled their eyes after been told the price 😂 GIRL! That look took 4 hours and my skills took 4 years lol you get what you pay for

[@fave525]

honestly? i don't understand. it's a gorgeous set, but she used full cover tips. 80 bucks for full cover tips is NUTS. 500 bucks for gemstones is crazy as well. but if people are willing to pay then i hope girl makes bank.

A set like this with the same high standards would be between 400.00 to 800.00 in most metropolitan cities in the USA especially with all the high quality crystals she uses.These nails are a lot of work and the prep removing your old set.This nail tech is very professional and does impeccable and pristine work! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

[@brownskinnbabygurl]

More like 1000

[@Bunny11344]

I honesty love when they file the nails manually instead of using a drill. Filing is more relaxing and enjoyable but very time consuming. I have only found one salon where I live that only does that every other salon will use a drill and sometimes it burns cause they’re rough. Tho I have since found a place that does it gently but I stopped getting my nails did cause it’s too expensive 😢

[@SheaButtaRyker]

This is DEFINITELY worth the price. The prep work alone was impressive

[@dianawilliams3514]

Simply stunning! Wow. I’m never throwing out old jewellery again, what a great idea 🙂

How do u get the jewelry pieces off to reuse or does it get destroyed by filing it off

[@victoriafaith1395]

​@@crystalvera9560 have you heard of nail glue debonder I think it can help you loosen them a bit and take them off with minimal effort and damage. I noticed when I was using it to loosen peal off base coat if it went on the crystal they fell off too

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@victoriafaith1395 Yes, I think if you were really careful, you could gently prise these off with some kind of solvent and a bit of judicious wiggling! But if you were to re-use, it would only be on yourself, @crystalvera9560. A nail salon wouldn't share products between clients for hygienic reasons, obvs.

I think we can all appreciate that what she charges for her nails for the amount of time, the amount of detail, and all the gems that she puts on is justly deserve

[@srslee5966]

No we can't. Full cover tips should NEVER take this long or cost this much. What a rip off.

[@helixxia9320]

@srslee5966 its not a ripoff for rich people if they can and want to buy this service

[@cherry7338]

It's not a rip off.. it's craftsmanship. If you can't afford craftsmanship then don't get your nails done. Or learn and do it yourself. (BTW, it's not only for rich people.. you CAN do this yourself. But what will cost you the most are the gems, gel, builders gel, polishes and tools to do this.. yes, that stuff is all costly) but it can be done at home. The problem is IF (as a "poor person" you have the Patience and dedication to do this to your own nails) This type of work takes time. Not to mention money. Those gems and polishes cost so much more than you think. That's basically where most of the techs money goes to. You won't get those kind of nails here in America. And if you do.. you'll pay about the same or more. For crappy work or half asked work because I'll be honest, the majority of nail salons won't take on a customer that wants this type of craftsmanship. They will tell you that they can't do it or that they don't have the time and will make you settle for cheap acrylic nails with cheap "stones" and cheap polish. I know what I'm talking about lol I've been a nail tech for almost 30 yrs 😂 I know how things work. This is absolutely superb work. Those nails won't come off unless she soaks them off. They're not going anywhere lol the stones too😂

[@MiaMia.2]

​@@srslee5966 Finally some sense in this comment section.. sis unnecessarily OCD-layered each gel colour three times but didn't even bother to fit her press ons properly... = 600$ ?💀💀 Neither mass purchasing & breaking up some jewellery pieces nor her overly obsessive ombre justifies this price either, you just pay for her brand rep. (&OCD painting time lol) 💀

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@srslee5966 You're not just paying for the tips, gel, and glass crystals. A small chunk of the bill will be the glass crystals etc, but she also took 3½ hours to meticulously complete one hand! So from income of $87 an hour she has to source, buy and pay for all her kit inc crystals, outfit and maintain a shop, pay tax and NI, no paid holiday or health insurance, rent and rates in an up-market mall etc - that soon eats into your $87/hr. I can only assume you've never run your own business to the point where you consistently make a decent profit. Nobody's _forcing_ anyone to go to her salon - no-one's being ripped off. If you can't afford it, you're not the target market. This reads more like sour grapes because you can't afford it. *I can't afford it either, I just choose not to be an arsehole about it.* 🙄 I went to your channel to look at your sublime nail art - executed for a fraction of the price, but strangely couldn't find any videos. You must have taken them down as you were getting swamped with work, I guess...

Are you able to reuse pieces? That's the first thing that came to mind when she was customizing the jewelry to fit on the nail--if she's doing that for each customer it seems super wasteful to use jewelry that would otherwise have a much longer lifespan.

@@mollyapteros if you take them off carefully with pliers you can reuse them!

@@mollyapteros I am not a nail tech so I just use them for myself but yes I reuse them as best as I can. If you coat the metal parts nicely they won’t tarnish ☺️ I can imagine that it would be difficult to reuse parts on clients since it can be unhygienic and in terms of cost the clients pay for the part and application so there should be no deficits

Выглядит конечно просто роскошно. Кстати сейчас можно под типсы использовать специальный гель-клей, он немного резиновый и сушится в лампе, но позволяет наклеить сразу на все ногти и не пользоваться фанариком. Для амбре лучше купить мастеру аэрограф, реально быстрее выходит. И вместо 3 слоев базы, лучше использовать 1 выравнивающий слой камуфлирующий базы с выравниванием кисточкой из флакона и 1 промазывающий. Это реально будет быстрее

Can you try Jounail art next? Her nail art is so out of this world 😍

[@amieeoba]

These nails are gorgeous. I was sad to see the bunny go though!😭🥰

So pretty! I don’t know any nail artists that paints gel over jewels, so she’s doing the procedure to secure them like every one should🥰

Most korean nail artists I sub to on YT often do these beautiful long nails with 3D stone art on themselves, but I don't think there's a huge demand for those from most customers 😅 we love good corn tips with jellojello peel-off base haha Also... Swarovski nail art haul unboxing are some of my fav videos everrrrrr 💖

Your nails look stunning 🤩 incredible job. The sort of thing I would expect a Saudi princess to have done who has a full staff to do everything for her - you would struggle to do anything for yourself for fear of damaging them 😲. Absolutely worth the cost for the skill, precision and time required for this level of nail art. Amazing 💜

I hate it when nail techs want to charge high prices but their work is average to below average. This is worth the cost of over $600! Especially for a wedding. Bravo!!!! Although someone else will have to put on your hose, clothes and do your hair because those stones are snagging everything.

as a person who loves doing my nails, and loves watching people do their nails, this is absolutely breathtaking. her attention to detail outmatches all other nail techs more than any other ik. I do have one question, how long did these nails stay on?

[@taelivision7973]

Question: how do you use your phone after the nail extension? I always find it super difficult to use phone, open a can and do normal daily task if my nails have gotten too long. I wonder how you manage to do that.

[@rachnailedit]

Use the pad of your fingers. I open cans using a spoon or whatever I can put under the ring pull just to lift it up a little , then use the side of my finger slightly bent to lift and open. You get used to them. Mine are just over 2 inches and I can pick up a 5c coin off the floor!

That is the most beautiful set of nail bling I have ever seen!! She did a fantastic job ❤
