Everyone Deserves Some “Me” Time Story by Sarah Gordon

Rose Nails & Spa has been one of Dunbar Village’s go-to nail salons since 2009. Eight pedicure chairs and two manicure stations currently accommodate customers during COVID times, however, two additional pedicure chairs will be reinstalled when things return to normal.
There have been some small updates since the salon opened 12 years ago; the couple added some new tables and chairs and repainted the space. Thien says with a laugh, “Customers may not notice. We chose the same shade of green because we really like it. I suppose we could have chosen another colour!”
Tanya Dinh and her husband Thien Anh Quang own Rose Nails & Spa. Tanya worked in nail salons for seven years and after a long search of Vancouver’s Westside, she was thrilled to find the perfect location on Dunbar Street to open her own business. She and Thien also own Pro Care Hair and Nails in Richmond where Tanya currently works. Tanya’s mother My Dinh, her brother Kenny Dinh, and her niece Marble Dinh work at the Dunbar shop.
Rose Nails & Spa is known for its customer service; close to ninety per cent return for the quality work provided. The salon’s friendly staff, comfy chairs, new equipment, and very reasonable prices are other reasons customers appreciate this business.
Services offered include manicures and pedicures, waxing, threading, facials, eyelash tinting and perms, relaxation, and foot massages. 18
The salon no longer offers acrylic nail services due to the strong chemicals used. Instead, they prefer shellac manicures; the semi-permanent gel polish speeds up the setting process, taking as little as 5 to 10 minutes to dry. Another key feature of a shellac manicure is it is easier to remove and gentler on nails. Rose Nails & Spa promises long-lasting manicures with proper care. A gel nail treatment will remain for up to three weeks while a regular manicure can last for up to two weeks depending on wear and tear.
