About me

here i go again...

In 2019, I bought my first acrylic nail since I was a teen. I hated going to the nail salon but wanted that boost of confidence. 

IT WAS A DISTASTER, but I was so proud of them.

I fell so deep down the rabbit hole. In Feburary 2023, I enrolled at my local beauty school. On my way to becoming a professional nail tech. 

I am that girl...

Very quickly I noticed the lack in education for nail tech. We have some amazing people in the industry setting the foundation for education. 

BUT I still have so many questions.

I ask a million question; I will research until my brain hurts. Thats where this blog comes in. My intention is sharing my findings, write about common question in class and help lay this foundation

Im also a planner

I have half a journal of notes written about things I’d like to research and discuss on this blog. Here’s some ideas:

  • Journey though nail school – what’s it really like? Where can our professional education change?
  • Journey though opening a business – What is it going to take to be successful? Realtime tracking on what and how it’s going.
  • technique and manicure styles – nail art is the creative side of nails. but what gets me excited, structure and the satisfying cuticle removal. The foundation is more important.

Hi, Im steph!

  • I’d rather learn to make things (and spend way more money) then buy something
  • I am a dog mom of 2, they are my children.
  •  I love going to concerts, I have seen my favorite band over 65 times.
  • I’m a big nerd for video games and weird books.
  • It’s never too late to change paths. My Mom taught me that. I’m starting this new path at 35. 

I hope you find value in this blog. If there is anything I can do to help you with your journey, do not hesitate to reach out. Also, I want to get to know you! What’s your story!? I’ll tell you mine.
