Who is La Manicurista?
Welcome! My name is Stephanie also known as La Manicurista.
A little about me, I am latina born in New York, a fabulous mother of two boys. A women who has always pushed to be an example to my boys when it comes to working hard towards your dreams and goals.
Rewind back to me being 12 years old. I️ would always do mani and pedis on my family members (yes sometimes was a blood fest lol) but my passion for it kept me going.
I can remember getting manicures twice a week because I hated having chipped nails. I️ became obsessed with having healthy-freshly painted nails. I️ would create my own at home cuticle oils which I️ would put on multiple times a day because I️ realized that having moisturized cuticles affected the look and feel of my nails.
I️ became obsessed and I️ knew this was my passion and I️ had to do something about it. But life sometimes doesn’t always go the route you expect and I was a young mother, working and going to school.
Although I️ worked in the hospitality industry for 13 years and had a Business degree. I️ took charge and started working on the weekends in my local salon doing manicures because I️ knew this was something that I️ wanted to experience first hand with real customers. To my surprise I️ realized how many people had issues with their nails and enjoyed my view on focusing on nail health.
I created my Instagram so I️ could showcase my work and tips on how to maintain and repair their nails. My passion for healthy/natural nails and wanting others to know the feeling is what made me create with love and delicacy La Manicurista Cuticle Oil.
Fast forward two years, July,2019….. I moved to Florida and not much after COVID came to change everything. Hospitality took a hit and I was at home thinking what was my next step.
During COVID was when I made the most sales and I also created my second product The Ultimate Nail Treatment.
I then I decided I was going to go to school and get my license as a Nail Technician. Once completed I set my mind that I wanted a physical place where I can implement my 13 years of hospitality, my degree in Business and my passion and love for nail care.
January,2022- I opened the doors to LM Beauty Studio where our focus is the Well-Being of your beauty.
My pride and joy is exceptional service and always focusing on the fundamentals of our beauty.
