About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while getting her nails done at Nails by Tonya, a little girl named Emma kept giggling and pointing at something outside the window. Her mother asked what she saw, but before she could answer, another customer—a delivery driver—also started laughing and exclaiming about ‘that crazy bird’ perched on the sign. Turns out, it was just an ordinary pigeon that thought the neon sign was its new home. The whole place erupted in laughter, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned the shop, they’d say, ‘Oh, you mean Nails by Tonya at Southpaw Creations—the one with the feathered friend!’
2. In the quiet corner of Southpaw Creations, where Nails by Tonya whispers secrets in your hands, a delivery driver once left something curious behind. Among the usual bottles and tools, someone found an old, dusty harmonica nestled on the counter. Curious about its origin, Tonya started playing it during slow days—soon enough, customers began humming along. Turns out, that harmonica belonged to a neighbor who’d forgotten it years ago. Now, every now and then, when business is slow, you can hear soft notes drifting through the shop, accompanied by gentle laughter.
3. While waiting for her mani-pedi at Nails by Tonya, a regular noticed something peculiar—every time he left his car parked near Southpaw Creations, it mysteriously ended up facing north, even if he'd clearly pointed it south. Finally, after weeks of observing and scratching his head, a delivery driver joked that maybe Tonya had some secret magnetic powers. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Maybe your car just likes to see more of my beautiful sunset views!’ And so, everyone laughed—and no one ever worried about their cars again.
4. While waiting for her mani-pedi at Nails by Tonya, a small dog suddenly started barking wildly and pointing towards the wall. The owner looked puzzled until she saw a tiny fingerprint on the mirror that only seemed visible to animals. Finally, Tonya noticed a little girl standing outside with tears in her eyes. ‘Oh no,’ she thought, ‘what did I miss?’ Turns out, the girl’s puppy had been staring at his reflection all morning, thinking it was another dog challenging him! After explaining everything, everyone laughed, and the girl left happy—her pup now contentedly napping next to her.
