Owner Nalini Patel said that none of her services compare in popularity to permanent makep, "Even men take advantage of this service," Patel said, "nothing obvious, it's amazing what just a little bit of eyebrow enhancement, eye liner, or lip liner can doto set the features off."

Other who greatly benefit from permanent makeup include those with time constraints, those physically unable to apply makeup and the elderly. Patel noted that her clients especially love permanent makeup, becuase it allows them to sleep 30 to 40 minutes longer and wake up looking absolutely fantastic. Patel is updated and and recertified in permanent makeup application twice per year in order to stay abreast of this everchanging field.

In fact, Patel doesn't remember a time when she wasn't interested in beautification of any sort nor a time when she let an opportunityto broaden her horizons in the field slide past.

Also widely known for her tattoo removal, Patel noted that hers is unlike anyone elses in Texas. She described it as a lifting process that takes place directly over the tattoo and comes with only a one-time cost for the entire process.

With all services offered, Patel prides herself in using the most hygiencally correct route possible. For instance, with the permanent makeup, all new needles are used. In fact, they're opened right in front of the client.

The trend continues for Patel's 30 minute natural looking (French manicure) nails, for which she is best known. Each client has their own bag, so that they can rest assured tat any resusuable products, such as files, are used only on them! Patel takes pride in the fact that she doesn't use MMA in her nails.

Nalini's Nails and Skin Care offers a gamut of additional services and products, including eyelash perming(lasts three months), whole body waxing, body wraps, a deep tissue massaging machine, the finest in hair care and sunless tanning products, fabulous weight loss pills and much more, including a variety of gift shop products.

While Nalini's Nails and Skin Care may sound like a dream come true, it might just be that this is a type of place that you should've been frequenting all along!

"I've always loved cosmetology. Nails were my first love, and then when I found how fast I was, I began to research and get into other things. Training and conferences are a staple of life to me," Patel shared.
