You might think the beauty industry is all about one big happy family, but for years, I was strictly a hair person. Blowouts, braids, the whole mane event. Then, something magical happened (or maybe it was just quarantine boredom). I took a leap of faith and dived headfirst into the world of nails. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride!

Imagine this: a seasoned hairstylist, me, suddenly confronted with a tiny canvas like a fingernail.

It was like starting from scratch, from the bottom (of the nail bed, that is) with…well, let’s just say some less-than-stellar results.

My poor daughter became my personal guinea pig.

We’re talking some serious “art attack” situations here.

But hey, practice makes progress! Now, I’m not just her hairstylist, I’m her official nail technician too…
