Meet the Diva's in training...

JJ has 3 grand kids and counting. Jaxon is 8, Jaci is 2 1/2, Olivia is 9 months, and Bently is due to join the family in December. Jaxon, Jaci and Olivia are Ashley's children. They have been part of JJ's Nail Academy all their lives. While Ashley tries to work around her kids and husband, there are many days she has to bring them in with her. Jaxon is in school so it's usually Jaci and Olivia. Thankfully, our staff and students are wonderful with them and are very understanding. I (Ashley) am very appreciative of this!

Well, Miss Jaci is definitely a DIVA! She has taken under Grandma JJ's wings and thinks she can fill her shoes some day. She LOVES to have her nails painted by the girls who aren't busy, and to paint their nails in return. She loves glitter and glam... She is, the next JJ!

This is Jaci getting her nails done by Bobbie Jo

Then, she painted Austin's toes..

(and skin, and her dress, and her finger.....)

This is Olivia exploring

This is "a great idea for a babysitter"......


While Olivia is still young, I can only imagine she will follow in the Peay Girls footsteps too.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE GRADS!!

We had our Summer 2011 Graduation Party and it was so fun! We had 16 graduating girls and a packed house with them and all their families....

Refreshment time!

Our little mimic Jaci... so helpful!

Starting a new tradition... letting the graduates write words of inspiration on the checkered door. So much fun to look back and read.

Thank you to JJ and Clint for pulling off a great graduation! And to giving the students a great education to help them be the best they can be. We had many hugs and tears over gratefulness and the bitter sweet of moving on and not being in class everyday. We will miss everyone of you and hope you are all a shining star in the nail field. Keep in touch!!

Career placement

Do you know where you want to work when you get done with your nail course? At home? At a salon? A spa? We want our students to get a job doing what they love and will help them get started. Our office manager Clint, will work with students to find them a position in a salon, or help them with ways to open their own salon at home. Our staff can help answer questions and help with contacting salons to get you in their door.
