A manicure is not just a polish change. It is cutting and shaping the nails. It is cutting cuticles. I can see a benefit between real manicures, but not a replacement for a manicure.
It would be great for a nail salon to actually have one of these. The manicurist would still need to groom and prep the nail before use but what a neat time saver for the salon! I would definitely try it!
Acrylic or gel polish?
Nimble doesn’t remove the existing coat, or file -shape-buff and clean nails in preparation.
Since it doesn’t do pedicures yet, no thanks.
Also could it be used to supplement salon services when short-staffed? After the nail tech preps a customer’s nails, have the machine scan and do their nails. Or is the scanning process too much of a hassle in a retail environment?
Mani-pedi services are a must for any robotic home app.
But I would rather see this used at salons to increase clientele when short-staffed. Somebody has to prep the nails !
If the cost of the Nimble was something I could afford, yes I would buy it. I have tried many times to get a good gel nail job done, but the ladies don’t seem to be able to file the nails evenly or apply the polish evenly. I hope the cost is not too expensive!
If Nimble could give me a gel polish, I’d go for it, especially now that I can’t leave my husband alone. I have to wait for a day when his caregiver is here and I can get an appointment, if I don’t have another appointment on that day. Had to wait 2 weeks this last time.
