Nail Salons
Ironwood Plaza nail salon with a broad menu: acrylic, gel and solar nails, hand and foot care, a kids' list, plus lashes, microblading, threading, tinting, waxing and facials. Walk-ins welcome and open seven days.
Two appointments become one if the services can be combined, which is the question worth asking before booking anything at a salon with a list this long. Lexi covers acrylic, gel and solar nails, hand and foot care and a children's list at the core, then extends sideways into lashes, microblading, threading, tinting, waxing and facials.
That breadth is standard for the category across Richmond, where a salon doing nails and nothing else is the exception rather than the rule. It changes how you should approach the choice. Instead of picking a salon and then choosing a service, most people work out the combination they want and then find somewhere covering all of it. Prices in this category depend entirely on what you book rather than on the sign above the door, so a specific question gets a useful answer where a general one does not.
Ironwood Plaza is the errand hub for south-east Richmond and works the way suburban retail is meant to, with everything at ground level and a single stop covering five separate jobs. A salon in that setting becomes something you fit between the grocery shop and the bank. The plaza sits at Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road, on the far side of the city from the Golden Village, serving families in the surrounding subdivisions who are not driving up No. 3 Road for routine appointments. Weekday slots are quieter than Saturday afternoons, which behave the way Saturday afternoons behave everywhere.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
