Experiences and Challenges as a Black Manicurist

I had quite the love for nails starting when I was 12. By the time I was in high school, I was doing nail designs in the cafeteria. Then I did nails in my dorm room as a fashion design major to pay for books. During my third year in college, I decided to go to school for nails. My love for fashion and film called me back to California. After many triumphs and failures, I created a product from years of necessity. These six turning points make up my life journey as a nail tech.
