For a long time, getting my nails done was one of those simple routines I genuinely looked forward to each week. It wasn’t only about appearance, but about taking a break from responsibilities and allowing myself a quiet moment of rest. The salon itself always felt like a small escape.
Soft music played in the background, the staff worked with calm precision, and the entire experience encouraged me to slow down. It became a space where I could pause and reset mentally. After each appointment, I would leave feeling refreshed. Even small details, like the color choice or the final shine, added to a sense of satisfaction.
It was one of the few consistent moments in my schedule that felt entirely for me. Over time, however, one question began to appear at the end of every visit: how much should I tip? At first, I didn’t think too deeply about it. I simply chose an amount that felt reasonable in the moment and moved on. As prices gradually increased, I became more aware of the total cost of each visit.
