Hello,

This is Annie, Your Nail Tech Mentor

A nail tech with eight years of experience, and an instructor in the Nail Technician Program at Asnuntuck, CT State Community College.

About me

Eight years ago, I moved to the U.S. from Vietnam. Thanks to the incredible Vietnamese presence in the nail industry, I quickly found my footing, starting as an apprentice here in Connecticut. Back then, a nail tech license wasn’t required, and learning acrylic nails without understanding the theory was a huge challenge. It took me three years of hard work to master the different types of nail extensions—but now, I can confidently guide you to achieve that in just one year!

I was lucky to find a mentor who taught me everything I needed to know about nails. Mentorship truly transformed my journey, giving me direction, feedback, and correction along the way. I believe that having a mentor in any career can create a powerful shift, helping you grow faster and with more confidence.
