It would have been just as easy to open their shop in Vancouver, but the women behind Ladner's newest nail salon love the community so much they could not imagine doing business anywhere else.
"We all love Ladner and we love the people here and the community," said Betty, one of four estheticians behind Ladner Nails & Esthetics Inc.
All four live in Vancouver or Surrey, but after almost six years at Tip to Toenails in Trenant Park Square they decided they wanted to continue working in Ladner.
Betty, along with Tina, Kelly and Sally, celebrated the grand opening of Ladner Nails & Esthetics Inc. in Ladner Village last month.
The salon offers a full range of professional nail care services, including UV gel and acrylic nails, manicures, pedicures and gel colours, as well as facials and waxing.
The newly renovated space includes a long line of pedicure stations that feature massage chairs and whirlpool footbaths that also emit a variety of soothing coloured lights coordinated with lights in the ceiling.
"We try to make it feel warm and relaxing for the customer," Betty said, adding the salon also strives to maintain the highest level of cleanliness.
She said they have received a warm welcome so far and are happy to see both existing and new customers stopping by the salon already.
