Ribbon cutting at Florence Antique Mall

FLORENCE, KY (FOX19) - Customers will have more time to shop at the Florence Antique Mall. The antique shop is adding evening hours.

The ribbon was cut on May 1 on the new and improved Florence Antique Mall. Store hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.

“We’re coming up on our 15th anniversary this summer,” says owner Coleen Detzel, “and we understand that keeping our customers happy is our top priority. After all, without them, we wouldn’t be here, and I think too many businesses forget that simple fact these days.”

General Manager Wendy Phillips adds: “We make a point of getting to know our customers, and we listen to their suggestions and comments. For example, over the years, we added a consignment program, a 30 day layaway, and a weekend café, all based on customer suggestions. Extending our hours until 8:00 p.m. is at our customer’s request. And we are thrilled to be able to do it!"

Florence nail salon owner earns renowned industry certifications

FLORENCE, KY (FOX19) - The owner of a Florence salon recently earned three industry certifications that testify to her commitment to safety in the nail salon industry.

Walton resident, Dee Dee Harper, received certifications from the Medinails Learning Center as an Advanced Nail Technician (ANT), Medical Nail Technician (MNT) and Podiatry Medical Assistant (PMA). To earn the latter two, Harper was required to serve an internship under the supervision of a local podiatrist.

Harper is the owner of nail salon Beautiful Cuticles at Salon Concepts in Florence.

Currently, Harper is the only nail technician in the Tristate – as well as the only nail technician in both states of Kentucky or Indiana – to have received all three certifications from Medinails Learning Center.

“At Beautiful Cuticles, my customers can pamper themselves with a manicure or pedicure without worrying about the risk of infection,” says Harper.
