Jessica is an accomplished nail tech, competition winner, 2009 Nails Magazine Cover Contest Winner and Akzentz A.C.E Master Educator.  Specializing in gels, Jessica has shared her talent and secrets of creating beautiful nail enhancements at salons across the country, tradeshows and cosmetology schools. In 2004, Jessica became an educator for Akzentz and the following year started LuvNailz, the distributorship in Washington State.  She traveled the country during 2005-2006 teaching fellow nail techs how to do gels and developing their technique and skills in the salon.

With the birth of her daughter in 2007, Jessica has stayed in the Northwest focusing her attention on distribution, education and networking in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. This year she attended the Montana MSSA show and expanded education to that area. In July she will do a Montana tour, visiting 3 cities and training at a school and doing hands on Academy classes. By fall Jess will be training educators from Oregon and Idaho who are passionate about Akzentz and ready to join LuvNailz.

Jessica recently re-opened her salon business to new and returning clients. Finding that getting professional nail techs together was a bit of a challenge, Jessica helped Brenda Palmer organize the Northwest Networking Event in 2007 and it was a smashing success.  This summer the NW Networking Event will be in Portland, OR and already has a large group of educators and seminars planned (visit nwnailtechs.com). Jessica enjoys mentoring new students and helping veterans learn new techniques.  When she is not teaching at salons, you can find her creating beautiful gel nails in Bellevue, WA at Salon Bella. .
