Queen Nails Bar & Spa grows into second location

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A local hotspot for beauty and relaxation is opening its second location. Queen Nails Bar & Spa will bring its stress-melting services to the northeast side of Fort Wayne, marking the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony set for 3 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18 at 6051 Stellhorn Rd., Suite A.

Queen Nails Bar & Spa is an upscale nail salon and wine bar, known by customers as an after-work and weekend oasis. Services include pedicures, full sets, dipping powders, facials, and eyelash extensions.

Owner Rosy Doan and her family moved to Fort Wayne from Florida in 2011. Soon after, she opened the first Queen Nails location on Illinois Road. Over the years, Doan has rewarded workers, bringing longtime manicurists into the fold as part-owners. That approach has led to an exceptional customer experience.

“Rewarding people is so important,” Doan said. “We have a talented and dedicated group of technicians that treats customers like royalty, and it’s that hospitality that sets us apart.”

The Stellhorn location represents an investment of more than $500,000 and creates 15-20 new jobs. Doan hopes to double the company’s size again, from two locations to four in the Fort Wayne and Auburn area, in the next decade.

Mayor Tom Henry is expected to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which begins at 3 p.m. and is open to the public. An open house and celebration will follow and run until 6 p.m., with food and cocktails from Club Soda, a fashion show, and live music.
