After eight years as an aerospace technical writer documenting complex launch systems, I traded engineering schematics for something far more personal: the artistry of professional nail care. Though I spent time in print, graphic design and technical writing, I have actually been a licensed cosmetologist for 40 years, and this journey brought me back to my roots of hands on creativity combining my technical precision with dedicated, detail oriented nail services.
Recently, my husband, Rick, our “mini-pitti”, Preston, and I packed up our lives in Paso Robles, California, and made the move to sunny Mesquite, Nevada. Leaving California was the start of an exciting new chapter one focused on warm weather, local community, and putting down roots in our new hometown. I am excited to welcome clients to my chair at the cutest little pink salon right here in Mesquite, Drea Beauty. My focus is entirely on health, quality, and long lasting beauty. I specialize in using all natural, organic, HEMA free, and TPO free hard gel systems as well as Gel-X extensions, giving you strong, stunning nails without sacrificing safety or product integrity. I’m thrilled to be serving our local community and helping clients feel polished, healthy, and confident. I can't wait to meet you at the salon!
