She believes in elevating the manicure experience and welcomes clients from across the Bay Area to her private studio in the heart of Castro Valley. Typically, clients visit Carrie monthly for her quality gel service that lasts 3-4 weeks with proper care between appointments. 

​

Client safety is Carrie's first priority. She complies with all consumer protection requirements for the nail care industry, using single-use supplies whenever possible, hospital-grade disinfectants for tools and surfaces, and new PPE (gloves and face mask) for every service. 

​

Dry manicuring is the foundation of every service at Nail Details because a waterless approach to cuticle care and nail prep is safer and allows for longer lasting results. Carrie sets herself apart from other technicians by having completed hands-on electric file training. Her e-file technique is gentle, with the client's comfort foremost in mind.

​

The highlight of each gel service is Carrie's expertise in the traditional Japanese method for applying potted gels. She is a three-times certified Japanese gel specialist, and a brand educator for Leafgel Premium. Carrie selects from a range of potted soft gels and brushes to create a customized application for each manicure.

 

Clients have described Carrie as kind, knowledgable, and having an eye for detail. She delights in helping clients choose from her wide range of colors. She talks through art ideas so that the results can meet or exceed the client's expectations. Many brides have trusted Carrie with creating custom extensions and art for their wedding nails.

​

Carrie's service experience keeps clients coming back month after month for beautiful, healthy, long-lasting nails.
