Built by a nail tech, for nail techs.

I've attended countless events as a nail technician, and I listened to what professionals actually want: meaningful connection, space to breathe, and a chance to grow their skills and their business.

Claws & Connection is my vision brought to life. It's an intimate overnight retreat where we come together to network, unwind, and elevate. Everything is planned with heart, from the artistry sessions and brand collaborations to the luxury touches and the conversations.

I've poured years of planning and passion into making the experience I wish existed when I was growing in my own career. Now I'm sharing it with you.

See you in April.
