After 6 years, I’m finally ready to close this chapter in my book.

Never did I expect to make it this far in my journey, and I’m so grateful for all the doors it has opened for me.

I’ve learned so many things through being a nail tech that I didn’t expect.

Meeting new people everyday and really getting to know them by the end of a 2 hour session is not something many people get to experience.

But the most important take away from this was learning how to trust and believe in myself. I got to know myself at my lowest and push myself when I didn’t think I could keep on going.

Being a nail tech has helped shape me to be more understanding, patient, compassionate and kind. It gave me a strong sense of community that will always be a huge part of me.

I have never forgotten any of my clients even those who I only met once, and I will never forget you.

You’ve been there for me to celebrate life with, and you’ve been there as a shoulder to cry on in my lowest moments.

I am the most grateful for the beautiful people who trusted in me and my craft, your support will always mean the most to me.

I am eternally thankful for each and every one of you. Thank you🫶🏻

As every chapter comes to an end, a new one begins. This is most definitely not goodbye, it’s the start of something new and I can’t wait to show you :)

After 6 years in the industry, I’ve heard a lot of advice — and not all of it helped me. From saying yes to every design, to undercharging just to get booked, I learned that certain “popular tips” can actually keep you stuck.

This post breaks down the kind of advice I wish I had ignored when I was starting out. Because getting clients isn’t just about working harder — it’s about working smarter, building a brand, and knowing your worth.

If you’re trying to grow your nail business without burning out or playing the low-price game… I teach all of that in my digital course, created for nail techs who want to show up online with confidence and attract dream clients.
