About Idea-Mill.net

  • I hate to see a good idea go to waste. Here's where I'll put some of mine, and others I come across. Maybe someone will help develop them, or want to collaborate on them, or simply steal them. Regardless, I'd rather see them take off than fester. So have a look, add comments, email ideas to your enterprising friends and VCs, and email me if you want to contribute one too.

Airport Nail Salons

Last time we traveled together, my fiancee remarked that there should be nail salons in airports. Tons of reasons why:

- Travelers often have 10 minutes to kill
- They often want to look polished upon arrival
- A little pampering smooths out a bumpy trip
- Manicures cost about the same as a grande latte and a scone, and you can sleep afterwards

We brainstormed a bit and couldn't think of any reasons why they're not already there. The only thing we could conclude is that maybe the chemicals needed are tough to get a permit for in an airport. You know, because chemicals are liquids.

Anyway, after we talked about it I sent myself a text message to my email address (because this doesn't exist yet), which I dug out today to write up this entry. I started with a little research, and quickly concluded that this is the best idea of the lot so far:

Airport salon offers travelers fast manicure

So :10 Minute Manicure is in the Lexington, KY airport, and pondering plans to expand to Louisville, KY. There are a lot of airports left, and style points aren't awarded for originality.
