With over 30 years of experience at the forefront of the beauty industry, I specialize in transforming salon operations through a unique blend of technical mastery, rigorous safety standards, and proven business systems. As a two-time salon owner and a pioneer in salon education, my mission is to help beauty professionals and owners scale their businesses while maintaining the highest standards of client care.

A Legacy of Excellence
My foundation in the industry began with a commitment to elite artistry. I was among the first to be recognized as a Certified Master Nail Technician by the Creative Academy (CND), a global leader in professional nail technology. Th

Innovation & Safety
Long before it became a global priority, I recognized that state board mandates were only the baseline for safety. In 1997, I founded National Salon Education Services and authored "Contagious Diseases and the Salon," a definitive guide and correspondence course designed to protect both the professional and the public.

Operational Leadership
Beyond the chair, I have navigated the complexities of large-scale salon management. As the former General Manager and Director of Continuing Education for Nails Now Inc.—the largest award-winning American-owned nail salon chain in the Southwest—I specialized in:

Conceptualizing & Implementing Streamlined Systems: Optimizing workflow for technicians to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Cost-Saving Innovations: Developing strategic operational changes that significantly boosted bottom-line profitability..

Curriculum Development: Designing continuing education programs that kept hundreds of technicians at the top of their field.
