– over 100 nail sets completed for free
(Kaieteur News) – Local nail tech Shondelle Gray owner of Nail Room Cosmetology School and Spa hosted her second “Nail Free Zone Friday” earlier this month at the Bel Air Lions Club.
Speaking to The Waterfalls, about the inspiration behind the venture, she said that as a business owner she is always looking at ways to give back to her clients and potential clients.
Gray said the Nail Free Zone Friday event also allows others in the beauty industry to also be able to access new clients and network, building a lifetime of connections and friendships.

Held on Friday, January 09, “Nail Free Zone Friday” saw 14 nail technicians show up at the location, and set up shop eager to do what they love and expand their reach and client base.

“This was a Nail Free Zone Friday where several nail techs get together. This is the second year we’ve done it. We plan to do it annually to give back to our loyal clients, customers and our potential customers, one free nail service per year. This is our second year doing it. I’m the host person, Nail Room Cosmetology School and Spa,” Gray cheerfully told this publication.
In addition to the 14 nail techs there were also three distributors on site ready to give access to quality products, LA Beauty Supply, OD’s Creative Nails Supplies and NSI Guyana.
This publication ventured to the location to have a firsthand view of what was happening. Not only was there a long line of women lined up to be pampered but every nail table had a client who seemed contented and was happily chatting along with their peers.

In addition to getting their nails done for free they also got free mental health advice and a sort of mini therapy session from personnel attached to the Ministry of Health. Interactive discussions were also held in relation to sexual health and safe sex, with a station set up with pamphlets on how to address certain topics with their spouse or child.
A number of fellow local business owners also donated gifts and token to hand out to the ladies with Crissy Exotic and Beauty Corner included.
Gray happily told this publication that, “this event a success, we gave out in excess of 100 nail sets, persons were given gifts. Nail techs, getting gifts from various places, who donated tokens of appreciation and things like that.”
Gray is looking forward to part three next year as she enjoys the smiles it brings to faces as well as the networking aspect of it. She hopes that more nail techs join the cause and many more businesses come onboard next year to make it bigger.
