Business name: Gina's Nails

Address: 65 Church Hill Road, Newtown

Owner: Gina Lee

Business background: Gina's Nails, located next to Pizza Palace, was formerly Eureka Nails & Spa before Gina Lee became the new owner this past February.

Up until three years ago, Ms Lee owned a nail salon in Southbury with her business partner, but felt it was time to be independent and open her own business.

"I want to make people happy," Ms Lee said.

She enjoys connecting with her clients and getting to know them. She also appreciates getting to do the work she does and wants to offer great service to everyone who comes into Gina's Nails.

Business focus: "We do manicures, pedicures, waxing, and chair massages," Ms Lee said.

Gina's Nails offers popular nail polish brands, like OPI and Essie, in a variety of colors to fit every style and need.

Children even receive special discounted prices for their manicures and pedicures.

Guests can choose from a number of pedicure options, as well, including the special green tea and organic spa pedicure.

For gel manicures, Ms Lee said that after using UV lamps, Gina's Nails recently switched to using all LED lights. The process of using LED lamps cuts down the curing time for the polish.

Important to know: Ms Lee and her trained staff at Gina's Nails strive to make people feel comfortable and welcome at the salon.

They appreciate their customers, Ms Lee said, and it is important her that everyone who comes in is treated with kindness.

A true testament to Ms Lee's professional quality and care is that when Ms Lee decided to bring her new business to Newtown, many of her loyal clients from other towns followed her to Gina's Nails saying it is worth the drive.

Without an official website or social media pages, Gina's Nails has gained its popularity solely by word of mouth throughout the community.

Gina's Nails accepts walk-ins and appointments by phone.

Hours: Open seven days a week; Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 6 pm, and Sunday from 9:30 am to 5 pm.
