Nail curing made easy by thanks to their new Dots!

Getting our hands in just the right place can sometimes be tough, but if we don’t that is a lot of uncured gel that can cause lifting, chipping, and even allergies. Dots help make sure our fingers are in the exact right place for proper curing!

Felt cute….might delete this later.

If you feel personally attacked by this video…GOOD! lol I’m kidding, but seriously, please use the armrest as intended.

While I want us both to be comfortable during your appointment I need to provide these services 3-5 times a day and if I’m constantly pulling your arms towards me my muscles get fatigued and I end up going home sore and tired.

If you love your nails and your nail tech here are some other helpful tips to make their job a little easier:
1. RELAX YOUR HANDS!
- Everything below your wrist should be a limp noodle. Do not move your fingers, we will move them how we need to and we can’t do this if you’re trying to “help” just relax.
2. ELBOWS OUT
- we need your hands flat parallel to the table. Sometimes “relaxed” means yours hands flip to the side. While we need your hands relaxed we also need your elbows to face out so that your palms are facing the table and not to the side. (I hope this makes sense 😅) the only time your palm should not be facing the table is when we are working on your thumbs.
3. TRY TO NOT USE YOUR PHONE
- This is a tricky one and one I’m a bit more lenient on. I get it we are all busy and we need our phones for emails, texts, and research. When you use your phone you move a lot which can makes things difficult for your tech. If you absolutely need to use your phone during our appointment, you can set your phone on my lamp propped on the armrest in the center. That way you are not reaching across your arms for it.

I hope these tips help. Trust me, your tech will be so grateful.

2025 Christmas Shenanigans

It all started when I went to my hair appointment with some very badly painted ghosts on my thumbs that I did with lacquer polish.

Somehow saw my potential and reached out to her nail girl ( ) who suggested

I began my manicurist education as soon as the Covid shutdown was over and while still wearing masks I graduated as class valedictorian 2 1/2 months later.

My class/nail bestie (.granados.31) and I started at out . I’m so grateful for the opportunity to start there to build my career and clientele. Danielle moved away and started her family (so happy for her! 🥰) and I was given the chance to go work at our dream nail salon.

I’ve been at for 3 1/2 years and now I have more than I ever could have imagined! I have the best clients in the world, best co-workers in the world, the best friends in the world, and the best most supportive family who could not be prouder of me. And honestly, I’m super proud of myself.

As a new educator for my life is about to change again for the good! I’m so excited for this new adventure and all the new memories I get to make 🤗

And it all started with my hairstylist and friend
Thank you Nikki, you have no idea how your words changed my life. 🥹
