Her mission is simple: to create a welcoming space where clients feel like one of the girls while leaving with nails that are unforgettable. Valarie has trained students through Blended Nail Academy, hosted teen classes to inspire the next generation of artists, and offered 1:1 training sessions for aspiring nail technicians who want to elevate their craft.
