Nail Salon business hurt by Titus and Ryan
Nail-biter still haunts beauty salon
Murder arrests have taken toll

STOUGHTON — The atmosphere inside Touch Nails is peaceful. Sunlight pours through the large storefront windows onto the salon’s gleaming black and white checkered floor. A lone customer relaxes in back, getting her nails done.
The scene is typical for this little beauty salon in Shaw’s Plaza on Route 138.
But it wasn’t so peaceful on Dec. 23, when a dozen federal agents burst into the salon to arrest Kelly Ryan, who had just walked in for a pedicure, and her husband, Craig Titus, who was in the parking lot.
That’s how the article begins in today’s Boston Globe. The story goes on to report…
William Ho, the owner of Touch Nails, believes the sudden whirlwind of publicity hurt his business.
‘’Most of my customers are not coming back,” said Ho, 45, of Randolph.The bust caught Ho and his employees by surprise.
‘’When the SWAT team came in,” he said, ‘’it was scary. We didn’t know what happened.”
Sad to hear this has happened to the store and we wish William and his staff the best.
