Davinia-The Nails Specialist

My Path Into The Industry?

I was interested in beauty from a young age, having a mother that specialises in this area, I was taught the basic skills and techniques on how to look after my skin, hair, nails and overall appearance.

At the age of 16, I went to work in The Body Shop part time. I stayed for 4 years and received training in their various ranges which included skin care, make up, and nail care. This gave me an incite into the different products; ingredients and how they can benefit the skin.

At the same time I was able to concentrate on the arts at college were I learnt stage make-up. Learning how special fx are created in TV and films, brought out my creative side.

In 2003 my cousin announcement he was getting married in Barbados, I wanted to look my best. I visited a salon to get my hair and nails done. which was my 1st introduction to the nail industry. When it came to my fortnightly maintenance appointment, I would bring in nail designs for my technician to create on me; I was hooked! I thought this is the industry for me, I love art, so why not use a different sort of canvas, NAILS!

Once I received my training a whole new world opened up and I was able to see all the fabulous work that can be created.
