Spice Up Your Summer Style with 90's Nails

Be daring or be sweet, at 90's nails you will enjoy a treat.

Whether you are looking for an edgy ‘crackle’ nail polish or a sophisticated summer lacquer, 90’s Nails provides a wall full of options, literally. With deeper selections by O.P.I. like Mauving to Manitoba or funky shades by China Glaze like Little Drummer Boy, customers have enough options to last the entire summer.

Liz Robinson, a teen from Shelton stops by 90’s Nails often. For the past six months she has been breaking away from her sports loving look and testing the waters of cosmetics and nail design.

“I come here every two weeks,” she said, as a nail tech applied a black and red leopard design to her fingernails. “I do acrylics, so I am in here all the time to get them filled.”

90’s Nails on Howe Avenue offers summer specials that include a $25 manicure/pedicure and an $18 spa manicure which was created to soothe achy and tired hands.  Some of the popular services according to nail tech, Anna Nguyen, are the $30 deluxe spa pedicure, the $25 gel manicure, the $35 gel pedicure, and the unique new trend, $8.00 big toe acrylic extensions. That may be a sight for sore eyes on beaches this summer.

Tom Lam, a two-year employee of 90’s Nails sees women rushing in for nail treatments this summer.

“We see a lot of clients come in during the summertime,” he said. “We see a lot of people come in for pink and white acrylics.”

For the past ten years, 90’s Nails has seen a change in management and styles, but remains a favorite of women of all ages. Alice Kuzma, a long-time fan and nine-year customer has found that 90’s Nails gives her everything she wants in a classy look.

“I’ve been coming here so long because I am very satisfied with the service I get here,” she said. “I get my fingernails and my toenails done and I’ve had the French manicure done for my past five visits.  I always think I am going to get something different, but it matches everything I wear, so I stick with it.”

Robinson finds the same satisfaction in the services provided to her.

“My favorite part is that the people who work here are really personable and they always remember you,” she said. “On prom night this place was packed. A lot of girls I go to school with come here.”

With a clean salon, according to Kuzma and friendly smiles appreciated by Robinson, they plan to remain loyal customers of 90’s Nails.

Some popular summer colors according to Lam are: the pretty Anxiously Await by Jade Nail Lacquer, the fun Jamaican Dream by Cuirius, the classy Live from the Red Carpet by Essie and the bold Glitter by New York Summer.

Aside from nail treatments, the salon offers many more services. Massages, waxing, nail repair and air brushing are a few of the popular services that keep customers coming back for a summer treat.
