What People Are Saying

I made my first appointment with Heather 8 years ago after noticing her awesome artwork on a friend's nails. I get compliments after every appointment & I'm constantly asked "Are those your real nails?" Yes they are! I used to struggle with constant breaks and painful cracking of the skin around my nails. Heather meticulously maintains my nail beds & the gel products she uses have allowed my real nails to grow long & healthy. heather is super creative, which is great for me because I am not. I am one of her few clients that has NEVER requested a specific color or design. I let her creativity run wild & I always leave with gorgeous nails! We always have great conversation too!! I highly recommend Heather.
