DL hair design

DL hair design is not just for hair. In fact, I’ve never had my hair done there, but I’ve been getting pedicures here for about 6/​7ish years (I’ve lost count).
The company is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Lena and Nam. Nam does hair, and I think Lena does too, as well as nails, waxing, and some other spa-​like services.
Now, this is not a fancy place. In fact, It’s a little rundown looking, and I probably would have never come here in the first place, had I not been recommended to see Lena by a friend of mine. Its appearance, however, is besides the point. The stars are not for ambience, customer service, location, or anything else other than the quality of work that Lena does.
I’ve had numerous pedicures throughout my life — I used to work in the beauty industry, so I know a good pedicure when I get one. Lena is hands down, one of the best pedicurists out there (that don’t charge an arm and a leg). I’ll admit, I have strayed a few times, because I really wanted to get pampered in a beautiful salon/​spa, but I keep coming back to see Lena.
Here’s why:
* First — she does beautiful nail arts flowers. I have yet to find another nail artist whose flowers I like as much as hers. My Mom and sister both agree with me on this one.
* Second — she takes care of your nails… like seriously. I strayed in the summer. This super cute, and cheap nail salon opened up in my hood in East Van, and I just had to check it out. I loved everything about That place, except for the pedicure. I had THREE pedicures done there, and each time they cut way too much skin away from around my nail that I bleed, and it swelled up, and was super painful. And to top that off, I got serious ingrown toenails on my big toes because my nails weren’t cut properly. Little did I know that Lena has been taking care of this toenail for me, to prevent it from becoming ingrown. God Bless her!
*Third — the price. My pedicure, with nail art on my big toes included, plus tax, comes to about $ 37(don’t quote me on this though, because I had a gift certificate for my last treatment, and I like I said, I strayed for a bit.)
I swear, DL hair design has my business for as long as I live in the lower mainland.
They don’t have a website, or any fancy advertising, and at times they can be a bit hard to understand, but it is worthwhile to go check it out, and get your toes ‘did.’
