When a man walked into a nail salon to get a manicure, I bet the last thing those employees had in mind was that the man sitting before them was getting ready to pull a gun. According to the news report, when the man finished getting his nails done he grabbed his firearm and robbed the salon at gunpoint. He was able to take some money from one employee and then stole an undisclosed amount from the cash register as well. It makes me wonder if the manicure was planned, or just a last minute decision. I mean, why would he feel the need to get his nails done first?
