So about 8 years ago I was introduced into the nail shop world . On special occasions (once or twice a year) my mom would take me to get my nails done . There was this place called Pro Nails in the Super 1 shopping Plaza . They didn’t have many polish selections and the girls were really young . But I loved that they played MTV videos all day long . And randomly a girl would sing to it . Which was a show of its own
Once I actually got my license I went back to Pro Nails expecting to see the same girls over the years but the shop had completely changed . There was an. Older lady there and a there were several plants . The walls that were once pink were a dingy white and there was no TV or radio . I felt like the older woman was yelling at me to sit down and not look at the polish until it was my turn . After that experience I never returned.
Fast forward a year or so a friend of mine asked to go get a pedicure with her . I asked her where and she told me LeLe Nails across from the jr high and sonic . I had never had a pedicure before and the fact that someone wanted to scrub anything off of my feet was beyond me but Im was ready for an adventure !
I printed out map quest to make sure I ended up in the right stop. This building use to be an aquarium . My mom had taken me to get a goldfish here several times .
It was was about 5 and there was about 3 people in chairs against the wall waiting . There was a little boy in the corner with a bunch of toys that seemed to be having the time of his life . The best part of my experience that day was the massage chair. I remembered feeling so grown up. The woman who came to do my feet was so nice but I felt so bad because I couldn’t keep still or quiet anything she would stroke my feet with this thing what looked most comparable to a cheese grater I would screech with laugher.
Fast forward a couple years when I am more financially stable and feeling really down I came in to get my nails down . I was there about an hour & a half but I had so much fun in that hour here than I had all week . The small kid that I remembered seeing was bigger now and he came up to me and handed me a book. He asked me to read it to him so I did . I had a good visit and I couldn’t wait to come back.
Every two weeks like clock work I came here . This place makes me feel so at home. It reminds me of the customers I use to see at McAlisters. Some I couldn’t wait to see so I could catch up with me and discuss life . Im constantly bragging on what a great job they do . But beyond the service they do provide for me I feel loved. There is no other place that can provide that for me and this is why I am so loyal and proud to be their customer.
