About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Foxy Nails and noticed something peculiar on the passenger seat—a tiny red purse with an old-fashioned keychain in the shape of a fox. Curious, he opened it and found only a single coin—an old Russian ruble. Smiling, he thought maybe it was someone’s lucky charm. Later that day, while getting his nails done, he joked to the owner, ‘Found your lucky fox!’ She laughed, saying, “Actually, I lost it years ago.” The story became Foxy Nails’ little urban legend ever since.

2. One day, while getting her nails done at Foxy Nails, a little girl kept giggling and pointing at something outside the window. The beautician looked puzzled but followed her gaze—and saw nothing unusual. Finally, she whispered, ‘There’s a squirrel playing with a feather!’ The beautician smiled, shook her head, and went back to painting perfect stripes on a regular’s nails. Sometimes, life at Foxy Nails was just as entertaining as any reality show.

3. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, a delivery driver parked his truck near Foxy Nails one afternoon. Curious, he opened the back door and found an old, dusty violin nestled among boxes of nail polish. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it might fetch him some extra cash. Later that evening, while browsing antique shops, he stumbled upon Foxy Nails’ owner, who recognized her beloved instrument instantly. With a laugh, she said, ‘Thanks for finding my ol’ fiddle!’ And they both agreed it was fate—now the violin adorned the waiting area, adding just the right touch of whimsy.

4. While waiting for her mani-pedi at Foxy Nails, an impatient customer muttered under her breath, ‘I’ll be ready any second now!’ Little did she know that her words were being echoed back from the mirror behind her chair. Suddenly, a reflection of herself appeared in the mirror—only it was her exact double, wearing the same outfit and holding a clipboard. Startled, she looked around but saw no one else in the salon. Then, with a giggle, the reflection said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m just here to remind you how beautiful you already are.’ The customer relaxed, realizing it was just Foxy Nails’ way of making sure everyone felt special.
