Y’all know I love getting pampered! Hair, massages, nails! I love it all! That’s why I jumped at the chance to go check out the new PROSE Boutique location in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville. Today I’ll be sharing why you should treat your honey, your friend, mom, dad, or yourself to a trip to Prose.
I had such an amazing experience at PROSE’s Jacksonville location and would rate my time there a 10/10!
The first thing I noticed was that it didn’t smell like a typical nail salon when I walked in. Instead of smelling like strong, harsh acrylic, it smelled like… clean. Just clean, not really scented, fresh air. I’m not really sure how to describe it other than that. That was such a relief because I get headaches and migraines (sometimes strong smells trigger them) so knowing I wouldn’t get one while I was there made my time there even better, because I was able to fully relax and enjoy my treatments.
PROSE only uses NON TOXIC products, which I LOVE! I have eczema (if you follow my Instagram I document my flare ups on my stories all the time) and usually as soon as they start rubbing the soaps and lotions on my skin I get itchy, red and blotchy, but not a single red blotch was had at PROSE! The use of only non toxic items also makes me totally comfortable bringing my 3 year old here to get her nails done.
PROSE custom built pedi bowls are properly cleaned and sterilized after every use and don’t require the use of those tacky plastic liners. All of the instruments and tools that the nail technicians use are cleaned in medical grade sterilizers and all the water they use for services is filtered and germ free!
PROSE regular and gel polishes are also all 7 FREE! Incase you aren’t familiar “7 free” means that these nail polishes are free of 7 extremely toxic chemicals which are ; Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, TPHP and Xylene. These chemicals are found in things like paint thinner, embalming fluid (yes, that embalming fluid) , flame retardant and are known to cause cancer, trigger seizures, effect hormones and cause “lesser” issues like lightheadedness, headache, nausea and trouble breathing. If regular nail polish has all that in it, I most certainly want 7 free!
In addition to going above and beyond for their clientele through things like ring cleanings, healthy snacks and drinks, hooks for your things, PROSE makes the salon safe for their staff. Vents in the table allow the nail artists to go without wearing masks, which I think makes the experience more personal.
PROSE believes in a healthier hand and foot care experience that cares not just about how your nails look, but the health of them. If you want to book an appointment or check out their monthly subscription packages click here!
[…] Before you say “But Hanna, I don’t have a tripod.” First of all, you don’t need one – get a chair, stack some books up, use a tv tray table, your dresser, whatever, get creative! As long as it’s the right height, you’re good to go! But, if you did want to order a tripod, here’s the one I have from Amazon! […]
