...A nail salon opening there would be really dumb.<br /><br />1. The established SpaOlogy salon, one of the nicer nail places around (while still being fairly priced), is directly across the street. SpaOlogy is much bigger than the average salon, too, so it's not like a new place could take its runoff during peak manicure times (and yes there are peak manicure times! shut up).<br /><br />2. Judging by the small space available here, this would be a cheap manicure chop-shop, and those places never really recovered from the New York Times "Price of Nails" exposé from last year. Many closed and only the cleanest places with better labor practices survived. Even if a new place has both of those qualities, the need for such salons has gone way down.<br /><br />3. Case in point, Gigi Nails, just up the block (right by the northside 3rd/14th L train entrance), recently closed after at least 15 years (possibly longer).<br /><br />Maybe open a vape store instead, at least then it will last a year vs. six monthsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
