Fly Nails Arrives to 630 Grand Street

Welcome Fly Nails to 630 Grand Street! Fly Nails is a nail salon with all of your nail needs - dazzle dry, gel, nail art, and even lashes. Owners Coco and Cynthia bring years of experience and talent to the salon, coming together to open their first business together on Grand Street. 

Coco has been a nail technician since 2003; she’s owned and operated two salons in the past and has worked all over the city. Cynthia has been a nail technician since 2017; the two met while working at a salon in Manhattan. They had noticed each other's skills and had quickly decided they wanted to open up their own nail salon together. Cynthia had declined offers from other nail techs to do the same, but Coco’s talent and years of experience had convinced her to work together. In the six months since they’ve been on Grand Street, they’ve already built a strong clientele base with their creative nail designs. 

Coco calls Grand Street an “interesting mixed bag, with everything you need”. She’s a fan of how many smaller, unique stores are in the corridor, and has felt welcomed by everyone. Coco’s favorite aspect of being a nail tech is being in community with her customers - she enjoys exchanging life stories and cracking jokes with everyone. Cynthia enjoys the challenge of getting a very difficult nail design down. 

Visit them at 630 Grand Street for your next trip to the nail salon! 

Support Local Business and Treat Yourself with Primp and Polish

Primp and Polish nail salon is celebrating their ten year anniversary! In recognition of the anniversary, they want to give back to the community and support their employees in light of the current challenges businesses face due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As nail salons were some of the last services to reopen, the owners of Primp and Polish are using this opportunity to simultaneously celebrate their staff and the surrounding community.

Primp and Polish recently came out with their own line of products

Specializing in nail art, Primp and Polish also sells their own line of nail and hand care products. Proceeds from sales of retail products will be used to purchase gift cards at local businesses and those gift cards will be given to employees to thank them for their hard work. This effort will also support and celebrate the local small business economy.  

Primp and Polish has five locations throughout North Brooklyn. We’re, of course, partial to the location within the BID at 586 Grand Street. While this is the newest of their locations the space had previously been the home to Artistic Nails, owned and operated by Lauren’s family for about 15 years before converting to Primp and Polish in 2015. The legacy of the storefront demonstrates the family’s roots in the neighborhood and, like this new gift card initiative, shows their commitment to our small business community.

You can celebrate Primp and Polish employees and support local businesses by treating yourself at any of their locations! You can also order their products online. Proceeds will be converted to gift cards and shared with staff until at least March of 2021.
