Women hair salons in Belmont Massachusetts

I have frequented this nail salon for quite some time now, always opting for a gel manicure. I usually contact her for appointments. Yesterday, I visited to inform her that I needed a removal the next day and a new gel manicure the day after. She seemed fine with it. Today, when I reminded her about the removal and the need to book an appointment for the gel manicure tomorrow, she became furious. In front of many people, she questioned why I only came in for a removal and began shouting at me. I explained that I had visited the day before to schedule the removal and the new gel manicure separately. She accused me of creating more work for them and demanded an extra charge (usually, removal is complimentary if you get your nails done there) while persistently asking why I didn't come in once. I tried to explain that it's due to my religious beliefs as a Muslim woman, where nail polish should be removed before Ghusl or Bath (Major Ritual Ablution) in Islam. Disregarding my explanation, she dismissed my beliefs, calling them stupid, and told me not to book a gel manicure appointment or return. I showed her information from Google about my beliefs, but she remained indifferent, stating that it's not her concern and that she only focuses on her business. She insisted that I always came in solely for removal (despite never having done so) and disregarded the fact that I always arrived with clean nails for my gel manicure. She deemed me rude for not accepting her reaction to my religious beliefs. Despite my pleas for respect for my faith, she continued with her insulting behavior. I left feeling disrespected, hurt, and angry. This discriminatory treatment is unacceptable, especially in a business setting. I paid the requested amount and left, determined to seek justice for this racism and discrimination based on my faith.

My visit on 1/28/2024 was exceptional. The nail artists exuded positive and cheerful energy. They were all incredibly kind and had a great sense of humor, connecting with clients in a friendly manner. The salon was impeccably clean and well-organized, with comfortable seating and impeccable work. The Dip powder nails shown below took about 4 hours, and they even stayed an extra hour past closing to ensure perfection. They genuinely care about their clients and strive for precision in their work. The atmosphere was warm and uplifting, providing a much-needed break. It was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely return! If you're in search of a new nail stylist, I highly recommend this salon. My new top choice!
