I've been seeing Rachel - and only Rachel - for 6 months and my nails have never been healthier or happier! I'm a bit of a tricky client as my survival job (bartending) is super hard on my hands and directly conflicts with my hand modeling gigs. Rachel has given me tips and tools on how to keep my nail health consistent. We've been able to grow them out to my perfect length and I can't believe how strong they are, even without gel!

I found Rachel through Instagram during a deep dive search one day and I'm so happy I did! To start, she has a really easy breezy booking system online and I absolutely love that she has posts dedicated to the type of manicures she offers so you're not confused about what you're paying for and what you'll actually get! I had my appointment with her yesterday and she is so fun! I was with her for about two hours as I booked a full art manicure with her and it literally felt like I was just hanging out with a friend. Her studio is so damn cute and cozy and it's conveniently located off the 5 and 22 freeway and there's ample FREE parking. We started my appointment right on time and she had already picked out some colors based off the inspiration picture I sent her a few days prior via DM. We talked a little about what I wanted and then I really just let her do her thing. She also cares about your nails and is very informative/knowledgeable about proper nail care. She gave me an excellent pointy almond shape on my natural nails and got rid of all my callus. I can't stop looking at my dope nails because they are literally a work of art. I've been to all the cool nail places in LA and I can wholeheartedly say I've found my girl! read more
