Back in 2020, I attended Western Carolina University studying secondary science education. The WCU area, being in the middle of nowhere, had very little options when it came to nails. That's when I decided to become a DIY queen and started doing my own nails. Five years later, I decided teaching was not for me and moved to Greenville, SC to be with my partner.

In Greenville, I started working as a canine nutritionist. I had continued doing my own nails and my co-workers noticed! The attention and support I got lead me to pursue nails as a career.

In April of 2025, I attended IBA Nail School in Lyman, SC. I started my first salon job in August that same year. I quickly learned that my standards and nail salon standards are not the same. The cut of money the salon kept from each client for "supplies" never made their way to me. I was buying my own supplies, doing my own marketing, and making my own schedule. So, with the support of my amazing partner, I made the decision to just completely ditch the salon and go full home-based!

I am so lucky to have a private, clean, well-kept salon space in the comfort of my home. I work diligently to keep a safe, clean, healthy environment that is 10x better than most salons (to quote my clients.)

I truly am living my dream and am so grateful for every client that walks through my door.
