Who We Are

Owner and licensed nail technician. Originally from Illinois, I earned a B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My husband and I moved to Irvine, CA in 2012 and came to Atascadero in 2018. After working in materials science and customer service for 10 years, I was becoming disillusioned with corporate American and realized I needed to make a major change. I became passionate about nails doing my own nails 3 years ago, and decided to go to cosmetology school to get my manicurist license. I’ve been working as a nail technician now since January 2025.
