Meet Trixie

Portrait of Trixie, Advanced Nail Technician

Before I ever picked up a nail file, I answered 911 calls for the NYPD. That work teaches you to stay calm, listen closely, and focus on what the person in front of you actually needs. I didn't know it then, but it was good training for this job too.

Outside of work, I was always the one looking after my family's hands and feet. At some point I started doing enhancements on my own nails and wanted to learn to do them properly. So I went to cosmetology school, became a New York State licensed nail technician, and opened my first salon in 2022.

When I'm not working, you might find me reading, whittling, or throwing knives. Yes, really.

Always learning

I'm a certified Advanced Nail Technician (ANT) and a certified Medical Nail Technician (MNT), both through MediNail. Everything I do in the salon is cosmetic, and I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions. My training gives me a trained eye: I know what I'm looking at, when to refer you to a doctor or podiatrist, and how to care for your nails and skin safely.

Through Centre for Beauty, I'm certified in LCN Barefoot Toenail Restoration and B/S Brace, and I'm also an educator with them, helping train other nail techs. I'm also certified in the Famous Names IBX® and ACESO systems.

How my pedicures are different

A regular spa pedicure is about soaking, polishing and relaxing, and that's great. But if you've been hiding thick, damaged or discolored toenails, or calluses that never seem to go away, you need more than a fresh coat of color.

My Advanced Pedicures focus on how your nails and skin look and feel over time, not just for the day you leave the salon:

  • It starts with a conversation. Every new client has a free virtual consultation, so I understand your goals, your history, and what you'd like to change before you ever sit in my chair.
  • Every visit is built around you. I work carefully on thickened, damaged or discolored nails and on stubborn calluses, and I adjust each appointment to what your feet need that day.
  • I have specialized tools for the tough cases. LCN Barefoot lets me rebuild damaged or missing toenails with a flexible gel made just for toes, so your feet look natural again. B/S Brace helps curved nails grow in a flatter shape. IBX® strengthens weak, peeling nails.
  • Your results keep going at home. You'll leave with a plan and the same products I use in the salon, so the progress continues between visits.
  • I know my limits. If something looks like it needs medical attention, I'll tell you and point you to a doctor or podiatrist before we go any further.

Products I trust

I'm careful about what I use on clients. I look for brands that use natural ingredients where they can, that teach you how their systems really work, and that care about results as much as I do. Famous Names is one of those brands. Their Dadi' Oil is a staple in my salon, and I was honored when Healthy Nails was named a Famous Names Top 25 Salon for 2026.

I'd love to meet you.

Warm wishes,
Trixie
