Practice Observation

Practice Observation


For my practice observation I watched the women in a nail salon when I got my nails done this weekend. The first observation I made was that mostly all of the women were the same, they were all stereotypically suburban mothers. Mostly all of them had fake colored hair and drove big sized cars. I also thought it was interesting that mostly all of the women in the nail salon and had no problem gossiping about Walpole town drama.

A lot of the women talked about their children and which sports they participated in. Also many of the women had fake lone acrylic nails that they wanted to get "filled" and receive a French Manicure. I enjoyed observing the women in the nail salon because it was so interesting to listen to them and how they were so involved in the town and sports and all of them had to make sure that their appearance was perfect. I think the nail salon was a good place for my practice observation because there was a sense of community there, the women all knew each other, they all gossiped and shared the common interest of perfecting their appearance.
