🧡 Happy Thanksgiving 🧡

As I sit here today with my family — especially my sweet Emerson — my heart is overflowing with gratitude. This year has brought so much change, so much joy, and a new season I never knew I would love this much.

With that said, I wanted to share something with all of you who’ve supported me, trusted me, and filled my little salon with laughter and life:
I’ve decided to officially close my salon and step away from nails for now so I can focus on being a mom.

It wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one for my family. And today, on Thanksgiving, it just felt right to say thank you — truly — to every single client who ever sat in my chair. You’ve been part of my world for years, and I am incredibly grateful for you.

Thank you for letting me be a piece of your life, your celebrations, your routines, and your stories. Thank you for cheering me on in business and now cheering me on in motherhood.

This isn’t goodbye forever — just a pause while I pour into my little one.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 🤍

Still trying to process everything that happened Thursday—but mostly just overwhelmed with gratitude. It wasn’t the birth story I imagined, but it brought us the most perfect little girl. Emmy’s entrance was dramatic (of course), but I wouldn’t change a thing. So in love with our tiny little firecracker. 🎆💥
