Rosa Nail Bar by Shakira

The nail tech is ALWAYS the last client on the schedule. 😂😂

Vacation mode: OFF ✈️🌴
Nail Roulette mode: BACK ONNNN 🎰💅🏽😂

I’m officially back behind the nail desk, and what better way to get back into the swing of things than our fav game show?

Who’s spinning next?! 🎰

6 WEEKS later and the retention is still retention-inggg 😮‍💨💅🏽✨

A good set isn’t just about how cute they look on day one it’s all about the prep, structure, and care that keeps them holding on WEEKS later. And of course, we had to send her back out with a whole new vibe 😍🩷

Even on vacay, the nail tech in me is clocked in 😎🌴✈️

A busy nail tech who finally went on vacation, so now you’re coming with me 💅🏽✈️🇵🇷

Let’s take a little break from the nail table and bring you guys along for the ride. 🌴🌊💕 Welcome to my nail tech vacation vlog ✨

Holding onto summer with BOTH hands 😭🌺 Because yes, I love fall… but these bright summer sets still have me in a chokehold! Who else isn’t ready to let summer nails go yet?!

Summer said “don’t leave me yet” ☀️🩷 but spooky season said “girl, MOVE.” 👻🎃✨ So we compromised… SUMMER-WEEN NAILS it is 💅🏽🕸️🌸

Cute before and after for my fav 👑𝐿𝒶 𝑅𝑒𝒾𝓃𝒶👑 😍

There’s always a “quick way” to do things, but after 8+ years as a nail tech and business owner, I’ve learned that PREP is not the step to rush. 💅🏼✨

The more time, care, and attention you put into properly prepping the natural nail, the less you have to deal with lifting, breaking, and unnecessary repairs later.

Good prep = better retention.
Better retention = happier clients. 🩷

Sometimes taking a little longer in the beginning saves you and your client a whole lot of trouble in the end. Quality over speed, every time. 👏🏼

Some days I don’t feel like being the boss, the nail tech, or doing ANYTHING 😭😂

But one thing about me… I’m gonna get cute anyway 💅🏼🩷✨
Does it fix all my problems? Absolutely not. 😂 But that little confidence boost? Sometimes that’s all I need to get up, show up & handle business. 😊✌🏼

the game where I guess my clients nail designs based on how well I know them 😜💕 how did I do this round?
