My Story
One of my proudest moments was opening the doors of my boutique Iklektikk in 2008. Initial plans were to later add a salon inside boutique to provide a one stop destination space for women to be pampered and shop all things beauty and fashion. However, that vision took a few twists and turns.
Determined to learn more about the beauty industry while operating my boutique, I took an early retirement after working 15 years from the automotive industry. I immediately enrolled at Aveda Douglas J. Institute and within 2 years became a licensed cosmetologist. Unfortunately, after graduating the transitioning economy led me to close doors, but my website remained. No stranger to hard work I rolled up my sleeves, put the site on pause and continued my journey building from the ground up. It took a minute and a few stumbles, but I found that my niche within the beauty industry was my passion for nail care. Loving natural nail care and its artistry I started working as a manicurist for several salons but found myself frustrated with being exploited by salon owners unknowledgeable about the industry. As a “hands-on entrepreneur” I recognized the demand for professional quality services and lack of professional dependable licensed manicurists. Having faith along with careful planning I decided it was time for me to become once again independent and merge both passions.
Fashion, beauty, and style is Art. Each are personal choices of how we portray ourselves individually. The sense of euphoria I always receive from people complimenting my taste and or sense of style only makes me want to return those same positive feelings. If I can make you feel and look your best by providing you with extraordinary services, merchandise, a vibe and or a mood, then I have fed my soul and we have complimented and inspired one another!
I am so excited to reintroduce to you this site with joy and gratitude, a curation of all things Urban, Sexy, & Chic. Please Stay TUNED there is MORE to come!
