Housed in an airy, open space filled with modern equipment and colorful nail polishes and designs, Anne's Nails enticed customers to give the business a try with grand opening specials throughout the month of October. 

The new salon, situated in the former Curves location, opened on Sept. 21 at 1235 N. Liberty Lake Road, Suite 104. Suong Luong, along with her husband Triet Ngo, decided to open the business after coming to the conclusion that the growing Liberty Lake community should have another option to choose from in the nail business. 

"The city of Liberty Lake is a great place to live, work and play. Therefore, my husband and I made the final decision this summer to choose this area for our business," Luong said. 

The couple has two children - a boy and a girl - and decided to name the salon after their daughter.

Luong has been in the nail business for over 10 years. She considers it a family business with two nieces, a nephew and a friend working with her in the salon so far. She said she takes pride in the state-of-the-art environment she offers her customers. 

"At my salon, you can find new techniques and new equipment," she said. "The salon meets all new requirements of the state law including the ventilation system, plumbing and lighting."

Services offered include manicures, pedicures and waxing. A regular manicure costs $12 and additional services can be added including designs and color tips. They also accept reservations for wedding parties and other special events. 

Betty Hollingsworth stopped by Anne's Nails for a nail touchup and shared that she's already been in several times for manicures and pedicures. She has enjoyed the space with its high ceilings and lack of noticeable fumes, a good feature since she is currently on oxygen. 

"Everything is nice and clean and beautiful," she shared. "Plus my nails look beautiful. I get compliments on them all the time."

Shirley Branson said a friend recommended Anne's Nails after going in for a pedicure and manicure. During her visit, Branson was impressed with the surroundings which she described as "first-class and absolutely gorgeous," including the friendly service and chair massage. 

"It's everything you want in a nail place," she said. "I will definitely be a regular customer."
