About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Solar Nails, customers started noticing something strange one morning. A regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been leaving those tiny glitter footprints on our cars?’ Soon enough, a delivery driver joked that his truck must be haunted by a miniature polish-spraying unicorn. Then, a neighbor confessed she’d been testing out her new nail art kit after hours. The mystery solved, everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the car washes in town.

2. At Solar Nails, a regular was admiring her freshly painted nails when she noticed something odd in the mirror. The reflection of the manicurist seemed to be winking at her—over and over again. Curious, she looked around but saw no one else in the salon. When she glanced back at the mirror, the reflection winked once more—and then the manicurist’s eyes twitched slightly too. Realizing it might just be an optical illusion, our regular left with a smile. Only later did she notice that her own eyelashes were perfectly shaped and curled.

3. At Solar Nails, a delivery driver left his lunch bag on the counter one day. When he returned later, it was filled with colorful nail polish samples. Curious, he opened it and found not only polishes but also tiny packets of glitter, stickers, and even a note reading: ‘Enjoy your creative side!’ Turned out, someone had mistakenly delivered a box meant for the salon’s new artist. The delivery driver walked away smiling, thinking maybe life does deliver unexpected treats now and then.

4. At Solar Nails, during an especially quiet afternoon, a sign appeared on the front window: ‘Today’s Special: Your Smile Compliments Free!’ Soon enough, customers started arriving with their best smiles ready for inspection. A delivery driver even stopped by just to show off his pearly whites. The owner, beaming from ear to ear, kept giving out compliments like they were free samples—until she realized her own teeth needed some work! The whole neighborhood ended up visiting Solar Nails that day, and everyone left feeling both complimented and slightly embarrassed.
