Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa
Learn about the power couple behind one Madeira-based nail and aesthetics salon that strives to do things a little differently.
Diana Nguyen and Ken Lai, owners of Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa, are living the American Dream. They’ve grown from working part-time in the nail industry, struggling to make ends meet and completing their education to owning an award winning business.
According to Danielle Swopes, Front Desk Manager, the Madeira-based Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa stands out from the competition by “offering superior services with a strong focus on cleanliness and value for our clients, as well as fostering relationships. We recognize most of the faces that pass through our door, remember stories and details about families and life events. We don’t rush through our clients- we take the time to do not just a good job, but a great job!”
This focus appears to be paying off. Since their opening in 2008 Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa has won six awards from City Beat, and 2016 marks the third year in a row that they’ve won the coveted title of “Best Manicure and Pedicure.” In addition. They’ve also landed a spot as one of the top three Nail Salons in Cincinnati.
“Our clients are the inspiration for what we do,” Swopes says. “Providing superior quality and value and treating clients like friends and family.”
Part of Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa’s customer-centric positioning is choice. Swopes says clients have about 600 different colors from which to choose. They offer Essie and OPI’s full line of polish. Gel polish choices include Jessica, Gelish, and OPI.
As for trends, Swopes says this season it’s all about light pink and white. Classy, simple, and lightweight. A new and popular take on this classic look is a subtle ombre effect called the “Baby Boomer” of “French Fade.” Ombre has been trending in acrylics as well, technicians blend colored powders in the overlay to achieve this look.
As most of us know spring and summer are officially nail season! In order to accommodate clients Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa’s new location is three times as large as their previous building and they’ve also added several new highly trained nail technicians. They’ll move mountains to accommodate each client but Swopes suggests booking ahead especially for weekend appointments.
In addition to full service nail treatments Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa offers eyebrow microblading, facial and body waxing as well as lash extensions. Coming soon, they’ll be offering facials and massage treatments as well.
In order to accommodate their rapidly expanding business, Swopes says Deluxe Nail Salon & Spa recently relocated to a larger space in Madeira, located at 7835 Camargo Road. Learn more by visiting their website or like their Facebook page to get the skinny on upcoming events and specials.
