About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed an unusual message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in nail polish: ‘Next customer gets free manicure.’ Curious, he left it up, and ever since then, every now and then someone would walk out with sparkling nails—even though no one claimed responsibility. One day, an elderly lady walked in, complaining about her arthritis. When she emerged, her hands were glowing with color and life. The next morning, everyone in town had received a handwritten note: 'Your turn to pay it forward!' It turned out that the mysterious benefactor was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who loved painting nails.

2. Late one Saturday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside TLC Nails and wrinkled his nose at the strange scent wafting from the open door. Curious, he peered inside and saw only a small girl diligently painting her nails with meticulous care. ‘What’s that smell?’ asked the perplexed driver. The little girl looked up, smiled sweetly, and replied, “It’s my secret nail-polish recipe.” The driver shook his head, grinned, and drove off, muttering something about never delivering packages to beauty salons again.

3. One morning, while waiting for her nails to dry, a regular overheard two manicurists whispering about something strange happening in the parking lot. Curious, she leaned closer and heard one say, ‘Did you see that guy’s car? It looks like he parked it sideways!’ The other giggled, shaking her head. Smiling, our regular thought, 'At least my mani-pedi is perfect!'

4. Early one Monday morning, as a delivery driver pulled up outside TLC Nails, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—something between a lullaby and a techno beat. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small Asian lady with impossibly long nails, tapping away on her phone while dancing in time to the music. She didn’t notice him until he cleared his throat, causing her to jump three feet into the air. With a giggle, she waved him inside, inviting him to join her dance party.
