Sandy Park with Gloss Nail Lounge

Sandy Park and her husband, John, were both working as nail technicians in Monett and commuting two hours daily—this went on for 15 years. “We knew we had always wanted to eventually have a business in Springfield but the thought of it was daunting since we had built such a long-term clientele in Monett,” Sandy says. “After having my daughter and with my son about to start school, we decided it was time to be a part of the community and started our business.”

In the past six years, Sandy and John have built a business in Gloss Nail Lounge (2712 S. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, MO, 417-350-1048) known for their staff’s friendliness, cleanliness and punctuality. Sandy says she teaches her team lessons she wished she had known when first entering the business world.
