Nailpro announces the winners of this year’s 30 Under 30 competition.

Nailpro's November/December 2023 issue spotlights 30 rising nail professionals, each with under 30 years of age on Instagram.

Through their years of practice, they’ve developed valuable insight that has informed their work and helped them to grow. Now, they are sharing their story with all of you!

Check out the complete list of Nailpro's 30 Under 30 below. Stay tuned for individual spotlights on the website and on our Instagram page (@nailpromagazine) for each of our winners.
