We've had a nice experience at Diamond Nail in Middletown. Very clean, and professional. They kept complimenting my fiancées hands and were perfect on correct pronouns.

Why did you think bad driving was a Connecticut only thing?

I'm more partial to the trans-atlantic salons

I'm sorry she's had that experience, shedding light on a topic is always the best solution so you're being a great friend

Because there are varying stages of transition for trans people. They deserve to be treated equally whether it's "obvious" or not. I'm glad to live in a place that's considered trans friendly, but the experiences she's had still happened here, so I'm just trying to garner recommendations to try and help her avoid that.

How could the nail salon employees tell they were trans? Are you sure they were upset with their genitalia or maybe it's something else? We're like in the top 3 for trans friendly states, I'm not being a dick.

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

Because there's thousands of nail salons and I'd like to crowdsource personal experiences to narrow it down.

She's not looking for a red carpet, she just doesn't want to be humiliated and would like to be treated like any other person. That's not been the experience, hence looking for suggestions.

I have seen men at Charm Nails in Farmington, and they are very nice to everyone as far as my experience goes. I'm sorry I can't speak to how a trans person would be treated, as I have never noticed, but that's my best suggestion <3

Pretty sure it ended with the pandemic, as well as Tuesday Wing Night. Pippa’s still has a wing night, but it’s up to 75c so things aren’t like they used to be

I love me a burnt crust

Linda's Beauty Nails in South Windsor is my suggestion. I've been going there for a few years now and I've seen all types of people in there, including trans people. I, myself, am not trans but I have definitely had negative experiences in places because of how I look (colored hair, tattoos, piercings, wears all black). Linda and her team are nothing but welcoming and kind. I've never seen anyone there treat anyone with disrespect.

Also everyone there does amazing work it's very worth it!

Let’s hope not; burnt pizza should not be a thing

Is there a trans-aggressive nail salon????

People who do nails want money...they'll paint anyone's nails. I used to go with my wife to the nail/spa place and they'd always ask me if I wanted my nails painted after they were done with the pedicure, because then they could charge us more.

I think sometimes people confuse transphobia with not kissing your ass. If you want the red carpet rolled out for you just because you belong to a certain group, you're gonna have a bad time wherever you go. If you want your nails painted and to be treated just the same as any other customer, you should be fine anywhere...

‘This cop was trying to get everyone to slow down and back off so I just slammed on the gas and drove around them like a fucking idiot but I’m sure my dad will vindicate me in Reddit’

or basic sense

When did the ownership change?

Weird. I remember the days of strong armed robberies at dorms and people getting beat dor sandals

Well this is Connecticut

Gentrifying like you wouldn't believe.
