Not far from there, at 451 Worcester St., Nails Studio has a new owner in Rachel Lee. It’s her first business. “I used to work in Newton Highlands then I heard about this business selling, that’s why I bought it,” Lee says. She understands that there are many salons in town, and pledges to provide good customer service. “At Nails Studio, we don’t do acrylics or anything that harms peoples’ nails. We do manicure and pedicure, and dip-powder, which is very healthy and organic,” she says. You can book reservations at the Nails Studio website.
