First it was the banks, then the restaurants, then the veterinarian’s office and the car wash, Pilates and finally CVS. But everyone knows the town is not really back until the first nail salon reopens for customers.
Ruby Hong of Ruby Nails & Spa wrote “I’m excited to share that my shop will be reopening this Friday, August 29. Our new hours will be 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week. Ruby’s Nails is located at 15228 Sunset Boulevard (next to Wells Fargo Bank).
Ruby’s initially opened in August 2014, but that opening wasn’t easy because the prior tenant left a shop with destroyed plumbing pipes and a damaged meter. The walls needed to be repainted, and the floor replaced.
After the Palisades Fire, the building survived, but Hong took the past few months to remodel and update the interior.
She wrote her customers “I really want to see you soon . . . to support us as well as support the Palisades getting strong.
Hong became a town favorite because of her ethos that customers receive immediate attention. “The women in the Palisades are busy,” she said. “They have jobs, they have to pick up their kids from school. We make sure they don’t have to wait, and we try to make them happy with our service.”
A native of Saigon, Hong graduated from the University of Vietnam with a degree in business administration. Her husband, Eric Hoai, was her schoolmate and best friend. He moved to the United States in 1995 to attend Pomona College and eventually earned a master’s degree in computer science.
The couple were married in a big ceremony in Vietnam in 2004, and Hong came to the United States with Hoai.
This is great news. However, when you Google them it shows that they are permanently closed so they will want to fix that right away. It would also be nice if they showed updated photos.
Where is the nail salon? Address or phone number please.
Ruby’s Nails is located at 15228 Sunset Boulevard (next to Wells Fargo Bank).
