You can't go into it expecting the worst. This is Connecticut. Not rural Kentucky. Go in, ask for what you want, in a way that says "I'm here paying for your services" and either they are going to say, here's your chair (nearly 95 percent likely) or there's the door, which again, were in CT.

And if they are the kind of asshole that would refuse your business, tell them you wouldn't let those hack jobs touch your fabulous nails and walk out like a boss
