Trend Alert: Soak off gels and pedicures in Seattle.

Shortly after landing in Las Vegas for the International Beauty Show this weekend, something completely unexpected and shocking happens...

The pilot just announced our decent into Las Vegas - moments later June is unable to breathe and begins blacking out!

Looking down at her, we ask worriedly, "Are you okay? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"I can't breathe. I feel like I'm dying." We quickly push the attendant button requesting help...even though we were descending fast and the seat belt light was on. The stewardess approached, "Oh my god, what's happening? Is she okay?"

Curious passgengers began looking to see what the commotion was about.


paramedics on the scene

Without waiting for a reply or hesitating, the stewardess ran back to the intercom,
"Is there a doctor on the plane?" A doctor sitting in 13A arrived at our seat and quickly assessed the situation and demanded an Oxygen tank.

The other 2 stewardess brought a huge oxygen tank and rushed it to our seat.

The plane began rocking from the turbulence.

"Ladies and Gentelemen, we have an emergeny. When we land, we ask that all passengeres remain in their seats so we can have paramedics assist us."

15 minutes later, what seemed like an eternity at the time, we finally land and the doors burst open. 4 Paramedics rush inside.



Getting off the cramped plane was difficult since we were seated in 23ABC towards the back of the plane. Yet, the equalized pressure of Earth and 105 degree weather in Vegas was a warm welcome.

The paramedics began their care procedures directly inside the Airport. We caused quite a scene. Thankfully, June slowly began gaining consciousness again.

After a series of tests, it turned out she had a form of Vaso?- Vertigo that occurs on landing in 1/1000 people. Apparently, some people will experience a complete cut off of blood flow to the brain. This is what June experienced. Although uncomfortable and traumatic to experience it is only temporary.

Although scary at the time, we look back at our experience and it was certainly memorable and would do it again.

June and Victoria make it safe

Our first meal




Nothing will stop us from getting you the most advanced nail artists...A flight out of town, 105 degree weather or lack of oxygen. We made it!



Yes, this was our 3 day class schedule - onward and upward!

It took nearly an hour to figure out the schedule and instructors we wanted to see





Directly from Japan, Hello Kitty on nails!


The Young Nails motto: 1. It's all about you. 2. We're the shit!


Educational Classes for gels and acrylics.

Robert trying the new ROCK STAR BLACK POLISH protected by a thin layer of gel. You can run it on guitar strings, pick at it, and it won't chip! Yes, we are going to apply this Rockstar technology to pedicures!

Our good friends at Light Elegance


One of the toughest things about nail polish is chipping. You pay a lot of money and expect the polish to last...but sometimes it wears off the next day! What's the deal?! With sandal season here we want your polish to look good no matter what!

Some of our friends are dancers. Others enjoy running around the beaches of Alki. And others want their toes picture perfect for the wedding! We don't want you walking on eggshells to protect your perfect pedi. Which is why we're doing something revolutionary!

We're excited to be one of the only salons in Seattle to introduce Rockstar Permanent Polish (okay, we totally made up the name on the spot). It's badass. It dries immediately. There's no chipping. And be as rough as you want with your fingers and toes and it won't affect the polish.

Holy moly, that sounds too good to be true right? We'll post up a video real soon showing you what we mean!!! ttyl. ;)
