Specialties: Hospital sterilization
Why it stands out: She may run her salon from her home, but Julie Kellos’ Nail Glyphx is no small potato in the nail industry. An accomplished nail tech, nail artist, and educator, Julie offers her clients more than one average salon.
Julie, the lone nail tech in her salon, offers a level of personalized and professional nail care difficult to find in any full-service salon. As an EZ Flow and Too Much Fun educator with 10 years of industry experience and international competition experience, Julie packs quite a punch.
All of her experience and industry knowledge are apparent in the way the salon is run. Nail Glyphx practices hospitable sterilization on all implements and retails high-quality, professional products. “Knowing that every aspect of my services and establishment are in a professional, relaxed environment has given me confidence to perform at my best and in turn, give my clients the best I have to offer,” says Julie.
With a commitment to educating her clients on procedures and care for their nails, hands, and feet, Julie hopes to provide a higher level of customer service. As an educator, she also has the opportunity to mentor and enrich the industry with her commitment to quality, professionalism, and education.
Nail Glyphx also strives to better its community through food and clothes drives for local homeless shelters and donations to charities.
