You know you’re doing something right when you’ve been open for just two years and you have already been a NAILS Salon of the Year finalist two years in a row – but this is the case with this year’s Salon of the Year (1-4 Nail Technicians) winner.
The finalists and winner in NAILS Salon of the Year [5+ Nail Technicians]
After being named runner-up in last year’s Salon of the Year Awards, Shelly Morley, a nail technician at Salon Elite in Prescott, Ariz., was determined to take the top prize at this year’s awards. Not that she didn’t like being named one of the top three nail technicians in the country. It’s just that coming so close to being Nail Technician of the Year – one point away from winning, in fact – only fueled her desire to obtain the top spot.
What’s better than getting to go to salons all over the country in the name of work? Getting to go with the team! The NAILS editors were in Dearborn, Mich., and we went out before the show to do some errands (like shoe shopping) and get everything ready for this year’s awards finalists.
