How many times have you been traveling and broke a nail or needed to get them re-done? Finding a good nail salon in an unfamiliar city can be tricky, especially when you like your nails done in a particular way.
As difficult as finding a good nail salon can be, finding a black-owned nail salon can be even more difficult — especially when traveling.
No worries though, because we’ve found black-owned nail salons in Philly that will have you contemplating relocating (or at least trying to take the nail tech back home with you).
