    Manicures / Pedicures

    **** UPDATE –  I am no longer offering nail services. Nails were always a little add-on service that I offered and as a result were never a big part of my business. So after covid I have made the decision to focus on my main bridal hair and makeup business.

    But this does mean I can recommend other talented nail technicians, yay!
