Images Luxury Nail Lounge was the guest of honor at the shade structure dedication ceremony at Plaza Vista School in Irvine, California.
... the decision to help fund a shaded playground structure was not only an easy choice, but also an important one -Tony Nguyen
As part of a continued mission to give back to its community, Images donated $10,000 toward building the structure in hopes of reducing the risks of skin cancer in children. Now, with construction complete, the local nail salon will proudly cut the ribbon, celebrating the official unveiling of the playground's much-awaited protective structure.
"With the particularly sunny skies here in Southern California and Plaza Vista being a year-round school, we knew that supporting the PTA in the building of a shaded canopy would make a huge difference to both the students' health and happiness," said Tony Nguyen, general manager of Images.
Nguyen continued, "The American Academy of Dermatology reports one out of five Americans is expected to develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Given the fact that schoolchildren spend their recesses and lunches playing outdoors, the decision to help fund a shaded playground structure was not only an easy choice, but also an important one. We are so thrilled we were able to help."
While Images Luxury Nail Lounge may be best known for its ultra lavish spa and nail treatments (i.e. it's $25,000 diamond-studded manicures), the opulent mani-pedi haven is also gaining a reputation for its continued philanthropic initiatives. In addition to its recent sponsorship of Plaza Vista School, Images has also donated time, resources and efforts to local women's shelters, senior living communities, and various other local causes.
