The casual passerby may only see a group of women having their
nails done. Workers and clients exchanging pleasantries to pass the time.
But those on the inside see a sanctuary - - where silence is as welcome as conversation, where tears flow as freely as smiles, where tragedies and
triumphs bind new friendships.
Sure, some have left as quickly as they came, stopping only long enough
to prepare for a certain party or event. Or to take a break from a long and hectic day.
But those that took the time to linger found a special place where they
could be --quite simply -- themselves. A place where people heal hands
....and hearts.
