Huang Weifen, Chao News.
Although it is said that the "New Year's three-piece suit" of hairdressing, nail art, and eyelashes has a flat version of buying wigs, buying nails, and sticking false eyelashes on social platforms, the beauty economy before the Spring Festival is still hot.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the topic of "nail art appointment" once rushed to the hot search.
Internet.
Some people complained, "I really want to do a solid color nail art, but I can't make an appointment", "I've been dating a nail art for three days, and I can't make an appointment"; Some people secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, my mother made an appointment with the nail salon a month ago and will go tomorrow"; Those with strong hands-on ability even began to be self-reliant, "I can't make an appointment with a nail salon, I do it myself, and I am quite satisfied."
Can I still make an appointment for a manicure in store? Recently, Chao News reporters visited several nail salons and felt a strong sense of New Year's rituals.
At the end of January, it started to be busy.
The nail technician turns on the "Super Standby" mode.
The i-Nail salon on Ping Feng Street is the first store opened by Zhu Yilu, and her beauty career started here, and then several stores in Xinyi Fang, Binjiang, and Xiaoshan Impression City have opened one after another.
At half past one o'clock at noon on February 5th, I pushed the door and entered the store, "Is it a nail art?" Zhu Yilu asked in a gentle voice, and when she learned the intention, she said that every store has been busy recently, and it is difficult for customers who temporarily enter the store to get their nails done.
Business was so good during this period of the year that the proprietress also became a nail technician herself, working overtime to complete this New Year's ceremony with customers.

Our store is membership-based, and reservations are almost full since the end of January. "It takes at least an hour and a half to get a manicure, and it takes even longer for more complex styles.
If you don't make an appointment in advance, Zhu Yilu said that unless the day is better, the customer can't come to the temporary situation and can "add plugs", it is generally not recommended to wait.
During this period of time, the nail art industry was not only full of motivational merchants, but also customers who "got up early and greedy for darkness".
A young lady told reporters that a friend of hers went to another nail salon on the weekend that could not make an appointment in advance and needed to pick up the number on the spot, "It said that it opened at 10 o'clock in the morning, and at 10:01, the number was already fifth." ”
More people start to make appointments with familiar nail technicians a day or two in advance.
Three of Ms. Zhu's four stores are open until Feb. 7, and one remains open during the Lunar New Year. "We all leave work late at night, almost after 11 o'clock, and some of our stores also work early. ”
The reporter was in another community nail salon and saw that the nail technician was still busy at 8 p.m.
There was only one person in my store, so I had to make an appointment in time, and people started coming at 8:30 in the morning. Ms. Qin, the owner and nail technician, said, "Some customers make an appointment late, so they simply come after dinner and shower." "It's been busy until 12 o'clock in the evening for several days," and business was better during this time of the year, and I insisted on giving myself a holiday until the 7th. ”
Ms. Qin said that she was going back to her hometown in Henan for the Chinese New Year, and the road conditions in several provinces were not very good this year, so she planned to leave early.
