Our Mission

With Mexican roots but raised in the heart of Durham NC. Being in the beauty industry was never in my plans and when my brother was born with Down syndrome I made it my life goal to become a pediatric nurse. It wasn’t until my mom started working for a very wealthy lady and out of curiosity that she asked what she did for a living and she told my mom that she owned a couple nail salons and a factory that made nail tips. Without me ever mentioning anything to my mom about being interested in nails she tells the lady “I have a 13 year old daughter that loves nails and has always been interested in learning.“  so the lady offered to mentor me and teach me how to do nails so that when I was old enough to get my license i would be able to work for her in her salon. So that’s exactly what I did, when my mom would go to work for her she would take me along and while my mom worked, the lady taught me everything from old school manicures and pedicures to acrylic nails and everything in between. After a while we parted ways with the lady and I began doing nails as a hobby. My mom bought me a little nail kit and I started doing my  co-workers nails in the break room, my classmates nails during lunch time, and posting my services on Craigslist at only 14 years old. My mind was still set on becoming a nurse and after highschoool i got married and I went to college full time to get into the nursing program. A year later i had my first babygirl, she was such a good and calm baby so I continued school with the help of my husband and my parents. Then a couple years later i had my second baby, this time things were different, it became harder to do school full time. My baby boy was very attached to me and he had a hard time being away from me so my family and i came to the decision to take a break from school. I become a full time stay at home mom but after a couple months i felt like I needed to do something with my life and a friend of mine that owns a nail salon offered me to come work at her nail salon and re learn everything to get my license. I only worked there for 2 months as it was hard to report to work all day with 2 Babies. I got discouraged because iI was such a perfectionist and I wasn’t where i wanted to be so I wanted to quit but my husband is my biggest supporter and he suggested I take some nail courses to improve my craft to be able to be where i wanted to be and to do a few clients on the side. With no place to work from I got the idea to do house calls. Within a matter of weeks i began to get completely booked,  my work was improving so much a word of mouth started to spread and it started becoming very hectic hauling around my suitcase of nails supplies, light and table everywhere. My husband suggested i work from home and so I did but that only lasted a few months before he offered me one of his office spaces in his buisness. After taking a brow training in Miami I quickly outgrew the space as my clientele increased once again and I added new services. I began to dream about opening my own salon and after a couple years at my first suite I got the opportunity to open my very own salon. The space definitely needed lots of work, more like a complete renovation but from the moment i saw the place i saw potential in it. With the help of my husband we were able to completely gut and transform the place. Not only was i blessed to open my own salon but i was able to offer salon suites for other professionals to rent. Now we are fortunate to have an incredible team of authentic and talented individuals who are here to make magic and provide a safe and luxurious environment for all. Our amazing team  is always ready to face any challenges and welcome everyone with open arms into our community.
