Trump Staffers Are Trying to Make French Manicures Happen

We knew things would change when President Donald Trump took the Oval Office - in fact, some believe we've reverted by in time by about 70 years. And it looks like some of that conservatism is making its way into the beauty world.
According to The Washington Post, Washington DC is seeing a change in beauty trends since Trump's staffers have moved into the city. Specifically, two looks are emerging: french manicures and long hair.
It was reported that at the Luigi Parasmo Salon and Spa in Georgetown, a "steady stream of recently-relocated New Yorkers has been calling to schedule weekly blowouts and french manicures."
Owner Luigi Parasmo provided insight on the new clients, calling them "somewhat trendier" than the standard Washingtonian salon-goers. "Lots of long hair!" he added in an email to The Washington Post. "In general, big city people tend to be more attentive to their hair, nails and skin care."
Listen, we have nothing against french manis and lengthy locks. We are just noting that they're a diversion from modern trends, such as these pretty neutral or matte manicures. French manicures became popular in the US when Orly created at-home kits featuring the products needed to create the look in the 1970s. It's also a look our grandmothers like wearing to weddings and bat mitzvahs.
Then, there is the reference to long hair. We can see this in Trump associates including Kellyanne Conway and Hope Hicks. Also note that members of the Trump family - Melania, Ivanka, and Tiffany - all have chest-grazing locks. This is very different from the short strands rocked by fashion icons such as Anna Wintour and even Michelle Obama. Top industry hair pros pointed out that short hairstyles will be "in" for 2017.
Perhaps these ladies are executing Trump's request for the females in his presence to "dress like women." As the saying goes, men like longer hairstyles! Or this new class in Washington simply prefers classic styles, like long hair and white-tipped pink nails.
