Nail 1st

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Nail 1st and noticed something strange—a faint, metallic scent wafting through the air. Curious, he parked his truck and followed the smell inside. Inside, he saw nothing out of place—just another busy nail salon. But then he heard it: a soft, rhythmic tapping sound coming from behind the closed door of one of the rooms. Peaking around cautiously, he spotted an old lady diligently tapping away on her nails with a tiny hammer. ‘She must be fixing them,’ he thought, smiling. The delivery driver left, never realizing that Nail 1st had just hired its first master craftsman—an expert in both nail art and antique restoration.’

2. A curious customer entered Nail 1st one day and asked the stylist, ‘Why does every nail here look like it’s waiting in line?’ The stylist smiled knowingly. 'Oh, you see that?' she said. 'Well, it's because our nails are always first in line for compliments!' A regular nodded approvingly from across the salon. 'She's right,' he chuckled. 'Here, everyone's nails are always number one.'

3. One afternoon, a regular stopped by Nail 1st for his usual manicure. As he sat down, he looked around and asked curiously, 'I notice everyone here has their nails done in pairs—why is that?' The nail artist smiled knowingly. ‘Ah, well,’ she said, ‘it’s because single digits are lonely, and they always want company!’ The customer laughed heartily, realizing it was just another quirky local tradition.

4. At closing time, an employee locked up Nail 1st as usual. Walking home, she heard a soft voice over the empty street: 'Next please...' Curious, she turned around but saw nobody. Smiling to herself, she thought it was just her imagination playing tricks. Then, from inside the now-closed salon, came the sound of clippers buzzing softly—clearly someone was already getting their nails done in the middle of the night. Shaking her head with a laugh, she walked away, certain that next time she’d bring along a neighbor or two for company.
