Maria grew up around several of her extended family members in the salon industry and would often spend time at the salon helping out. At a young age, she would often be caught giving her barbie’s and her friend’s the trendiest haircuts. She was always fascinated to witness such a change in a person’s mood after a visit to the salon or spa. Maria enjoys building client relationships and loves being able to give them a confidence boost after just a simple salon visit. Outside of work, she enjoys hosting and entertaining with friends and family and watching movies with her kids. Maria makes sure to take time out for her won self-care and recommends her clients do the same. The best advice she gives her clients is to ensure that they keep up with their home care in between their appointments.

Nail Enhancements
We offer Gel nail enhancements for clients who want strength and durability without the weight of traditional acrylics. Our hard gel enhancement product is comprised of Keratin to bond to our nail plate, which is also made of Keratin, and is also the protein found in our nails. This means that our nail enhancements are not only safe for your nails, but also have less lifting and complications because our body doesn’t see it as a foreign substance, since the chemistry is similar.
Beware of shops that are selling Acrylic nails as Gel nails. Know that Gel is ALWAYS and ONLY a honey consistency, and is NEVER a 2-part liquid and power process, there is NO powder in Gel. Also dipping powder is Acrylic, NOT gel!! We have had many clients who were under the impression that they had Gel nails from another establishment, when in fact they realized during our filling process that it was much different than anything they had ever seen, and was in fact Acrylic with a gel topcoat instead, which should have been much less expensive. Not only does this poor practice cost the client more money, but it also presents a challenge when filling. Acrylic bonds to acrylic and Gel bonds to Gel, the two should not be mixed. If after reading this, you discover this is happening to you, don’t fret, we can get you straightened out by removing your acrylic and starting fresh with Gel.
