Living in Seminole my entire life, my first employers were Johnston Jewelers. They treated me like family then and continue to do so today, as they have let me create our spa in their original location.....this is my story. 

In the 1970's sculptured nails were introduced to the bay area. I was trained by a nail tech/salon owner in the fine art of using ONLY hand files (no drills) to create custom built enhanced nails. I do them both ways in recent years, to fit the clients wishes. We were not yet licensed with the Department of Professional Regulation until many years later when they recognized this field of the beauty profession, requiring training and licensing. With 18 years of experience behind my table, a "few" of us were grandfathered in. I qualified and was accepted. Keeping up with continuing education is a requirement to renew our Florida state licenses. Being "Artistic", the appreciation for detail fascinates me. After 32 years of rewarding work and loyal clientele, I still feel extremely fulfilled........It's my PASSION. 

My family has been very supportive of all my accomplishments.....especially my Dad, who, sadly, did not get to see my newest salon before he passed on. Without them, their love and my talented husband, Don, I would not have achieved such a beautiful salon. Credit goes to my close friends and clients for encouraging me to take this direction. Special thanks to my brother, Rick and his business partner, Ceaser, for all their help in building expertise (Val Tech Homes). Another valuable thank you goes to my niece, Shannon, who dedicated endless hours of her time in creating the salon's inviting ambience. Since then she has began two new businesses     The Doggie Diva & Pawsitive zensations.

I am so grateful that all of you believe in me. 

To all my "Girls"..........I appreciate you every, single day!
