Dolores Young's Dee Nails is now offering a complete menu of nail services for both women and men at Manor's Beaudacious Salon Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
“I am absolutely thrilled to have Dolores join our Beaudacious team,” says owner Jennie Beaudet. “It's nice to be able to offer extra services to our clients. Manor is an amazing town for supporting our local business and has already shown much excitement with Dolores's arrival.”
“I've been doing nails on and off for 30 years,” says Young, “I first started in Alberta, when the technician who did my nails moved away. I started doing them myself and since then, I've done nails on and off, including at a salon in Calgary where I was responsible for doing the nails of all of the girls in the Miss Calgary pageant.”
Young currently lives at White Bear Lake Resort, but she has also lived in London, England and Panama, and says that wherever she has lived, nail trends are all about individuality.
“There is always something new,” she says. “So in that sense, nail trends are always changing. But it's really about the client's individuality and personal style, what they like.”
“It can be a plain, elegant French manicure or blinging right out, or anything in-between,” she adds. “And whatever they want to do, I'm happy to do it for them.”
“I can do shellac and coloured nails, gel nail extensions, and I've ordered 3-D decorations for nails and I'll also do nail charms on request.”
“I recently did some pointed nails, which I hadn't done before. The person I did them for was very happy with them, and so was I. I'm willing to try anything.”
“Nail trends are constantly evolving,” says Young, who most recently took classes on new techniques in Regina. “I'm willing to try anything a client might like. If I don't know how to do it, with their agreement, I'll certainly try it.”
“I'm currently taking classes in nail art and I'm constantly upgrading my skills.”
Young offers manicures and pedicures for both women and men and can arrange couple's treatements side-by-side in the salon.
“With all of the emphasis on nail art, it's also important to remember that a manicure or a pedicure isn't just about painting nails,” she says. “Men can benefit from these treatments as much as women, especially when it comes to a pedicure.”
“Feet feel better with calluses taken care of, especially in winter, when so many people are working outside in the cold weather.”
“Most guys don't want polish, so I buff the nails. It's all part of foot health. It improves circulation and it feels good to soak your feet in warm water. I've given mani-pedis to guys before and they say it feels great.”
For those unable or unwilling to have treatments in a salon setting, Young also does in-home visits.
“I'll travel to people's homes in Arcola, Carlyle, and of course, Manor,” says Young. “If someone has mobility issues or just likes to have treatments done in the privacy of their home, I'll bring everything with me. All the client needs to have on hand is a chair to sit in. I'll bring the rest.”
Young is planning to add new services in the future, including permanent lashes, and hair removal treatments, such as sugaring and threading.
For now, however, she is looking forward to bringing her services to clients-either at Beaudacious Salon or in their homes.
“I love doing nails and I love interacting with people,” she says. “I'm looking forward to serving clients in the area.”
