Studio Appointments
Appointments take place at my private studio within Vacation Nail Collective in Orange, California.
Prospective and returning clients may book appointments up to two weeks in advance. If you do not see an available appointment, you are welcome to join the waitlist through my scheduling system.
All manicure services include a customized gel overlay on natural nails. Soft, semi-hard, or hard gel is selected based on your nail type, lifestyle, and goals. Every service includes a detailed dry manicure, exfoliating scrub, and light hydration.
Please note that due to my celebrity, commercial, and editorial work, occasional schedule adjustments may be necessary. If this occurs, I will contact you as soon as possible and do my best to reschedule your appointment at a mutually convenient time.
