Meet Jacqui!
After working in corporate America post-college Jacqui left in 2019 to pursue her passion for nails. She graduated from school and received her nail license in January 2020 (bad timing). Fast Forward two years and Coastal Nail Collective was conceived with the help of fellow nail artists Allison Leger.
