hi, i’m jena (with one n).

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved doing my nails.

As a kid, I spent all my allowance on drugstore nail polish (special shoutout to Revlon Street Wear’s “Hologram”, Cover Girl NailSlicks’ “Grape Ice” and Jane’s “Rhythm and Blues). I vividly remember getting my first bottle of O.P.I.

I’d buy tiny art brushes from the craft store and do nail art on neighbors and myself, loved trying new finishes (like matte and crackle) and was psyched when I learned about stamping. Some years later, I saw a set of holographic chrome nails online and that’s when everything changed in my nail journey—I *had* to learn how to do them.

From there, I learned more about “no chip” nails—gel manicures—and haven’t looked back. No sheet marks on my nails because I painted them too close to bedtime? Incredible. I could spend hours doing a design and it wouldn’t chip two days later? The best. Doing my own nails was fun, but I wanted to do more.

In 2021, I went to nail school and earned my nail technician license.

Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to turn a lifelong passion into a job I love.

I love helping my clients get the nails of their dreams—whether that’s growing out their natural nails, wearing extra-extra-long extensions sharp enough to be classified as weapons, finding their signature nail color that’s *just right*, or creating a one-of-a-kind set that calls for using 15 different colors and every tiny brush I have.

Whatever you’re envisioning, let’s make it happen.

(just kidding, it’s just roxanne)

roxanne is my five-year-old pit bull. she’s a rescue, she came with her name, and i adopted her when she was about a year and a half old.

during nail appointments, roxanne hangs out in her crate, because if she weren’t in there, she’d be in your lap.

she has an impressively judgy side-eye, but is actually a sweet little baby who wants to be everyone’s best friend. given half the chance, she’ll jump up on you to give you a hug. her favorite things in life are walks, peanut butter-filled pretzels and prolonged, undivided attention.

roxanne would LOVE a head pat from you if you’d like to give her one!*

*if not, that’s okay, too.
