I attended and completed my training at A Cut Above Beauty College in Greenwood, Indiana in 1998. (Since then the school has moved to Indianapolis, Indiana and is called Empire Beauty School.)
Upon passing the state board tests and receiving my Manicurist License, I rented a booth at The Gazebo in downtown Indianapolis. I received excellent training from the owner of the salon as well as attend continuing education classes. I received my Masters Certificate from CND (Creative Nail Design) sometime during 1999, and I continued to establish my clientelle here for a total of 7 years.
In July of 2005 I relocated to No. 7 Salon (which is my current home). It was a bit of an adjustment going from a predominately nails-only salon to a hair salon, in which I am the only Nail Technician. Considering it has been 5 1/2 years that I have been working at No. 7 Salon, I'd say a little change has turned out to be a good thing!
