JOHOR BARU: Nail salons here are seeing a rise in primary schoolgirls booking manicures ahead of Chinese New Year, with many arriving alongside their mothers for the makeover. Nail technician Lew Bao Hui observed an increase in younger customers visiting her salon since the end of last year. “The trend of children, including those in primary school, getting their nails done has been on the rise since Christmas. “The interesting thing is the young customers come in, and they know exactly what design and style they want. “Many of my young customers prefer long acrylic nails; some opt for sleek and simple designs, while others go for more elaborate 3D nail art.
