That said ...

​

I was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Grand Rapids, Minnesota for the better part of my childhood until my parents moved to California. I graduated from high school a year early and was left with the choice of whether I wanted to learn how to fly an airplane ( become a pilot ) or go to beauty school. I chose to go to beauty school because I'd had a love for doing hair since I was a little girl. I finished beauty school and received my California cosmetology license in 1983.

​

Several years later, I had my first child. I had intended to go back to work in the salon after that, but couldn't bear the thought of someone else taking care of my baby, so I became a stay-at-home mom. I didn't return to the beauty industry until 1997. But this time it wasn't to do hair; it was to do nails.

My family and I had just moved to Utah when I found out that a license wasn't required to do nails in that state. Although I had never liked doing nails all that much, I was very good at it. So I figured I would go ahead and take a job at a nice salon doing nails while I worked toward getting my Utah cosmetology license. As fate would have it, I didn't get that license because my career in the nail care industry took off almost immediately.

​

First, I began teaching people how to do nails. I then went on to open the first nail school to teach a safer alternative to acrylic nails. I also did my first of over 20 interviews with the television, newspaper and radio media discussing sanitation and chemical awareness issues in the nail care industry, and helped Utah become a state with mandatory licensing requirements for nail technicians. As all of this was happening, I was also attending school to become a massage therapist and had started writing
my book.

​

In mid 2001 my family and I moved back to central California, and in October of that year I opened New Nail Creations™.

 

I have been persecuted by some in the nail care industry because of the title and content of my book, and thanked by the public for the information in it. I wrote it, not to slam the nail care industry, but to bring a greater, more consistent awareness to the hidden dangers that can be lurking in the salon, spa or nail shop. 

​

 My intention had never been to focus on doing nails,  let alone teach anyone else how to do them, yet it turned out to be the very thing that would cause a Great shift in my life and turn out to be the very thing that would cause a greater awareness in the area of healthy, responsible, hand and foot care.

​

As an educator/distributor of ONYFIX Toenail Correction System, PODOExpert  and HANDExpert by Allpremed, Angelfeet Pedicure Files and XCalibur Instruments, I have a strong focus on helping the PRO and the home user, in regard to RESPONSIBLE Foot and Hand  Care.
