Everything I believe beauty should be: soft, effortless, and deeply personal.Sharon, on doveandaegis.com
I'm a nail technician with five years of experience. I work with Gel-X, and for the past two years I've been creating structured manicures with hard gel.
My studio work is Gel-X sets and structured gel manicures, from milky pinks and crisp French tips to glassy cat eye and full art. Appointments run two and a half to four hours, because I don't rush them.
I teach the same way: one student at a time, at my table in Whitsett or live on video, and through my on-demand Gel-X Masterclass.
