What does our nail spa have in common with the Olympics?

15 years ago, we selected our phone number based on trip 8's. If you notice the last 3 digits of the salon's number, you may have connected it to the Olympics in Beijing. =] Here is a brief background...

"BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Eight is a lucky number in China. The word for it -- ba -- sounds so close to the word for wealth that many people believe eight is a number that is linked to prosperity.

So it is no surprise that the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games begin at 8:08:08 p.m. on 8/8/08.

The Chinese try to get the number eight in addresses, phone numbers, even car license plates. An airline reportedly paid $300,000 five years ago to buy 8888-8888 for its telephone number. With an explosion of cars in the country, bidding sometimes takes place for lucky plates." -CNN


Fortunately we didn't pay $300,000 for our phone number. Let's start the bidding at $300,001. Any takers? You know where to call us.
