RIP Vicki Peters: Nail Industry Loses Legend, Friend

by Holly Schippers | January 5, 2015 | Bookmark +

This may be the most difficult blog I’ve ever written. On December 31 my friend and mentor Vicki Peters passed after battling cancer. She is an industry icon, legend, and legacy of love for all things nails and education. Vicki helped me as a student along with Debbie from Beauty Tech, they became a couple of my nail moms that not only tirelessly and selflessly answered questions but followed me throughout my career to become women I have a great deal of love and respect for.

To lose Vicki leaves a piece of my heart broken professionally and personally. The industry has lost a leader and mentor who put helping others above helping even herself. I may have to come back to this later in another blog as I’m still struggling to accept this and find myself choking on words.

NAILS has put together a beautiful tribute video that gives a glimpse into her career.

RIP my friend, you will always live on through those your light touched xo
