120 | NAILS MAGAZINE | APRIL 2014 affordable the services are. With large chandeliers, gold walls, and chevron curtains, it's no wonder customers feel trendy. "It's defi nitely a party!" says Moreland. Locals who visit Chic Nail & Beauty Bar once often set up regular monthly appointments after their fi rst service. A big portion of her business comes from tourists traveling to Sun Valley, and since the state reserve is such a hot spot for celebrities, Moreland says she is waiting for her fi rst big star sighting! A NICE PLACE TO WORK Chic Nail & Beauty Bar not only caters to its customers, but also to its employees. Moreland really tries to take care of her staff. The salon adopted the PediSmuter — which Moreland refers to as a Clarisonic for your feet. This handheld device removes calluses from feet in order to take the tech's shoulder work out of the pedicure. There are three nail technicians and three other team members who provide the hair and esthetic treatments. Every staff member benefi ts from free services, and is encouraged to sell her own products in the store. "Some of the girls make their own jewelry," Moreland says, "and if another one of the girls notices a customer might like that jewelry, she'll talk about it on her coworker's behalf." The sense of camaraderie clients experience in the salon starts with the employees. Moreland says her staff is a close-knit group of girls who like to support each other. Moreland also encourages her team to stay abreast on what is trendy. "Since Hailey is not that current of a place, we have to go out and fi nd what is on-trend," she says. 1. The nail bar allows for easy camaraderie among clients. 2. Salon owner Kelly Moreland provides upscale service at reasonable prices. 1 2 www.nailsmag.com/fifi/14186 n a 0 4 1 4 s a l o n p r o f . i n d d 1 2 0 na0414salonprof.indd 120 2 / 2 1 / 1 4 3 : 2 7 P M 2/21/14 3:27 PM
