FAQ
Here I will strive to answer common questions I get regarding my services, salon, education and scope of practice.
Services
You offer a lot, how do I know what service is best for my hands or feet?
Before you book, reach out to me. I may ask for photos, and will ask questions about your goals and your lifestyle to help determine what will be best for you and your nail health.
Can I book for my friend or family member on my account?
You can book for someone who is in your care. What I mean by that is if you are bringing an elderly family member or a teenager, yes. Please note their name in the appointment notes.

Salon
Is your salon Wheelchair accessible?
Yes, absolutely. Despite being on the second floor, we do have an elevator and the doors are ADA compliant. I personally use a rollator. If you are coming in and prefer to not transfer to the Pedi chair, we can always work within your comfort level.
I know it's the Orange Circle - is there free parking available?
Yes, there is parking behind the salon on Olive as well as a free parking structure on Lemon which is a 5 minute walk from our door. Please give yourself time to park and get to your appointment on time.
Can I bring a friend to my appointment? Can we both get services?
I prefer to be one on one with clients, but if you are booking a back to back appointments, I do have an extra chair so you can visit with your friend or family member during your service. I do ask that anyone in my room does wear a mask for the duration of that time.

Do your extra classes change what services you're able to perform?
Extra classes and certifications give me additional tools and techniques, but do NOT change the scope of my license.
Are you required to take extra classes for your license?
Continuing education is not mandatory to hold a manicurist license, but I enjoy expanding my knowledge in my craft.
How long have you been doing nails?
I have been licensed since 2017. Prior to that, I worked in corporate America. Ask me about it! I've worked in several fields which I feel helps me relate to my clients better.
Scope
I think I have a problem with my toenail, are you able to help?
I'm not a doctor, and as such cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions. If you are worried about it, please seek a physician's opinion.
Hands
As a Nail Technician, I am able to apply nail enhancement (artificial nails), perform nail repairs, trim, polish, and manicure the nail. Beautifying from the elbow to fingertips.
Feet
I am able to trim the nails, reduce callus on the skin, polish and beautify from the knee to toes. I am not able to diagnose or treat nail fungus or ingrown nails. Bringing comfort to persons with foot maladies using my cosmetic service is something I have always taken great pride in.
