the most fabulous story

2014-15
While studying in Kyiv, I developed a passion for manicure. I took courses, practiced on models, and continually refined my skills through both in-person and online training. This foundation set the stage for my professional journey, and I knew I was meant to build something greater.
With my growing passion and drive to improve, I sought new opportunities that would challenge me further.
2016-2017
In 2016, I moved to the U.S. and quickly realized that I wanted to continue my career in nail Industry. After earning my license in Washington, DC, I started working with my first clients and gained valuable experience in an American salon. This stage solidified my professional skills and brought me closer to building my own business.
As I settled into my new environment, my ambitions continued to grow, pushing me to take the next step in my journey.
2018-2019
In 2018, I became a mother and rented my first space in a salon in Georgetown Washington DC , working as self-employed. From day one, I focused on delivering high-quality services, quickly building a loyal client base. This period laid the foundation for the next phase of my business.
Balancing motherhood and business, I was determined to continue expanding, despite the challenges ahead.
2020-2021
After my divorce, I moved to Newport Beach as a single mother and rebuilt my client base from scratch. Despite the pandemic’s difficulties, I remained dedicated to offering high-quality services while launching manicure courses and training aspiring professionals. I was determined that no challenge could hold me back from achieving my goals.
With a strong foundation and growing confidence, I felt ready to take my business to the next level
2022
I started teaching hardware manicure courses and training women. After the course, one of my students joined me, and I opened my first studio in Irvine. As demand grew, I expanded the team and realized it was time to scale up. My focus was on maintaining high service quality while meeting the increasing client demand.
As the business continued to grow, I knew it was time to find a space that could truly reflect my vision.
2023
In June, I found the perfect location for my studio. By July, I had signed the contract, renovated the space, and started welcoming new clients. In August, we celebrated our grand opening!
With momentum building, I knew the studio was on the path to success.
2024
Over the past year, the studio has grown into a thriving business with 8 technicians and 2 administrators. We are fully booked every day, with appointments scheduled a week in advance. The future looks bright as we continue to grow and serve our clients at the highest level.
