Read about seven techs so new (with three years or less of nail experience) or so-recently brave (with one year or less in a new facet of their nail career), NAILS didn’t even know how luminous they were until reading their rave reviews. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come from these up-and-coming stars.
An informal polling of NAILS’ readers reveals that just a small percentage of clients take the precaution of bringing their own tools or purchasing them at the salon.
I think superstars are people like Shari Finger, who has been running a nails-only salon for 17 years and has probably trained a few hundred nail technicians during that same amount of time.
This year’s Nail Technician of the Year finalists wowed us with their expertise and dedication to the nail industry. On the next few pages, you’ll get to meet all six of them and find out why they’re among the best in the industry has to offer.
What concerns you most about your business right now?
Escape Nail Spa in Antioch, Ill., is a delightfully warm salon where vacationers and locals alike can feel at home while getting their nail and feet treats.
Although salon owner Mary Metscaviz has been in the nail industry for nearly 25 years, it wasn’t until three years ago that she opened her own salon.
“When I found out, I was a finalist for the second year in a row, I was very excited and nervous. I felt like I must be doing something right to be selected again as a finalis."
This year our standouts include Mary Metzcaviz, Gari-Dawn Tingler, and Darlene Feric.
