  • Jacqi Scrafield

    Nail Technician

    Hi there, ever since I was young, I have loved nails. My obsession began when I was a child, watching classic movies with leading ladies and their perfectly manicured hands. One of my favorites being Bette Midler in hocus pocus. This then led me to videos on line and then to finally picking up a brush of my own. pursuing the art, I honed my practices and talents. Educating myself on nail artistry.

    My goal now is to do the best I can at providing my clients with the best of my abilities. My wish is for my clients to sit back, relax and allow me to pamper them, and send them on their way refreshed, and with a beautiful set of nails.
