I’ve always loved how nail care combines creativity, precision and self-care. I was inspired to join The Wheatbaker because it gives me the opportunity to grow my craft within a luxury environment while creating meaningful experiences for guests. I’m excited to contribute my creativity and attention to detail to a team that values exceptional service.

I start by making the guest feel welcomed and listened to. I take the time to understand what they want, make sure they are comfortable, and pay attention to the little details throughout the service. For me, luxury is not only about the finished nails, but also about how relaxed and cared for a guest feels during the experience.

I love soft, timeless shades such as milky whites, nudes, soft pinks and elegant neutrals. French manicures, subtle chrome and clean, minimal designs are also favourites of mine because they feel sophisticated while still allowing the natural beauty of the nails to stand out.

I would recommend a luxury pedicure, especially one that combines thorough nail and cuticle care with exfoliation, a soothing soak and a relaxing massage. It’s the perfect way to unwind while giving the feet the care they deserve.

I think it’s the combination of personalised service, attention to detail and a truly relaxing environment. Every guest should feel that their experience has been thoughtfully tailored to them, and that level of care is what makes a luxury spa experience memorable.

I consider the guest’s natural nail condition, lifestyle and preferred services before making recommendations. I also educate guests on simple habits such as regular cuticle care, moisturising and avoiding practices that can unnecessarily weaken the natural nails. My goal is to help them enjoy beautiful nails while maintaining their health.

My favourite part is seeing the transformation from start to finish. There’s something very satisfying about taking care of every detail, from the preparation to the final finish, and seeing a guest look at their nails and feel genuinely happy with the result.

Attention to detail. I believe the smallest details can make the biggest difference, especially in beauty and luxury service. I’m naturally particular about my work and always want the final result to feel clean, refined and intentional.

Moisturising consistently, especially the hands and cuticles. A little cuticle oil and hand cream every day can make such a difference in keeping the hands looking healthy, polished and well cared for.

I believe in being warm and attentive while also respecting each guest’s personality and preferences. I listen, have genuine conversations when they are comfortable with it, and remain focused on the service throughout. Building trust is important to me because guests should feel both cared for and confident in my work.

I love expressing my creativity through nail art and exploring new beauty ideas and techniques. I also enjoy discovering inspiration through visual platforms and taking time to recharge. Creativity is a big part of who I am, so I’m always finding little ways to keep it active.

Attention to the details the guest may not necessarily ask for: a thorough preparation, gentle and precise work, comfortable positioning, a relaxing massage and taking the time to make sure the final result is perfect. Those thoughtful touches are what make a guest feel truly pampered.

Elegant. Artistic. Intentional.

I’m excited to continue developing my technical skills, learn from experienced professionals and explore new techniques that will elevate the services I provide. Most importantly, I want to grow into a well-rounded nail professional who consistently creates beautiful work and memorable experiences for our guests.

A fun fact about me is that I have a degree in International Studies and Diplomacy, but I found my passion in the creative world of nail artistry. I love that both paths have taught me the importance of communication, professionalism and connecting with people from different backgrounds.
