I love being in the Beauty Industry and have found passion for helping others navigate small business ownership and their finances. I originally went to college to get a degree in Education and on a whim decided to go to Nail School for a flexible job while I finished school. Little did I know how much passion I would find here!
After struggling to navigate the beginning stages of owning a nail business and working in the industry for just over a year, my husband and I relocated to an entirely different state where I knew almost no one! I had to rebuild my clientele from the ground up and slowly learned how important boundaries are as a Small Business Owner. During the process of rebuilding my clientele I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Getting diagnosed was a very confusing time and with little support from my medical team, I felt lost. I had to quit my part time job and stopped taking clients for a little while because of how ill I felt.
Once I got the care I needed and was on my way to a lifetime living with this disease, I realized something would have to change. Prioritizing my health was no longer an option. I needed the flexibility to put myself first without being told by an employer I couldn’t take the day off when needed. This led me to find more passion as I learned from other educators how creating your own success in the Nail Industry can be a reality. I focused on enhancing my skill and continued to work hard to build my dream clientele. This led me to opening my own private studio, taking clients full time, and embarking on my education career. I believe everyone has the ability to shape ‘doing nails’ into whatever they want it to be. Part time, full time, $100k a year, you name it! When given the right tools, anything is possible.
My hope is that you find where you fit in the beauty industry and can do so without compromising your mental or physical health, relationships, and personal life and I would LOVE to help you get there. The greatest part of being self-employed is well, You're the Boss!
