"As a mother of two, Kravetz was finding it increasingly difficult to set aside the time to treat herself to a manicure, and when she finally did, she was continually disappointed with what the local nail salons had to offer. The day spas all required appointments," she says, "and the treatments were too long and a bit more expensive than what I wanted to spend for weekly maintenance. The corner nail salons felt like little factories, and I wasn't able to relax and be assured that the tools were clean. I just didn't feel like I mattered as a customer there."
