Nail Artist
get to know Allie...
Behind the nail table, my goal is always to create an experience where you can feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely yourself. Whether you want to chat the whole appointment or just sit back and unwind, I love matching the energy of each guest and creating a space where people feel at ease from the moment they sit down. I naturally have a relaxed personality and love genuine conversation, but I also love giving guests a calm, comfortable space to simply recharge. More than anything, I want people to leave feeling refreshed, confident, and completely in love with their nails.
My love for the beauty industry started at a young age growing up around the salon with my stepmom. Some of my favorite memories were going into the salon with her and always ending up in the nail room. I’ve loved painting nails for as long as I can remember, and being surrounded by the creativity and connection this industry brings made me realize it was something I wanted to pursue myself.
I especially love creating builder gel manicures and hope to become known for my builder gel sets and detailed nail designs. Right now, I’m loving clean, modern styles, stripe art, and nails that feel trendy while still looking timeless. I love combining creativity with attention to detail to create nails that are not only beautiful, but durable and healthy as well.
Outside of the salon, I love spending time with my two dogs, who are basically my world, and being with my family. I come from a big family with eight siblings, and I also have family in Australia, which has always felt really special to me. Even outside of work, I’m usually still doing nails or trying new designs because I genuinely love the artistry behind it all. I also love anything that gets me near the water — whether that’s being on the lake or simply spending time outside near the water.
My perfect lazy Sunday is honestly just relaxing at home and doing nothing while I recharge. My guilty pleasure food is sushi, and one quote I always love is, “Do what makes you happy.” It’s a mindset I try to bring into both my life and every appointment behind the nail table
