- What inspired you to become a professional in the manicure and pedicure world?
- 20 years ago, I came across a manicure and nail art course quite by accident. The teacher's charisma was contagious to everyone in the group. And "accidentally" the chosen course turned into a profession that completely changed my life. It is a profession that is inexhaustible. A continuous "thirst" for knowledge and constant improvement of skills are the keys to success.

- What is the biggest challenge you have faced in your professional journey?
- Gaining the trust of clients, students and colleagues is the most important part of my profession. With a team of professionals, we prepare our own programs for training courses and seminars. In October we are preparing a pedicure campus at the national level for fellow pedicurists in Italy, where we will present new techniques of working with quality products.

- What do you enjoy most about your job?
- Creating beautiful nails is an art, but realizing them using quality materials is a guarantee of sure success.The acquired skills and knowledge help me to be as useful as possible to clients.It is my pleasure to work with clients and colleagues with whom we are on the same wavelength of perception.
What advice would you give to young professionals who want to succeed in this field?
If you want to develop in the field of manicure and pedicure, the quality of the products is of great importance; the variety of techniques you use; the level of the upgrade courses. My advice is:
To enhance your professional development, study with the best teachers from schools that have proven themselves over the years.

- What are the manicure/pedicure trends you've been running into lately?
- The return of the square manicure and the elegant French is a challenge that we welcome with pleasure, because thanks to colored building gels and bases we have a wide selection of French combinations on a colored base.
A fashionable and stylish manicure for short nails is guaranteed by the use of a pearl effect on light colors and a top coat with spectacular particles.

Another great challenge for lovers of long and extreme forms is one of the latest techniques - REAL DIAMOND, which gives the nails an incredible crystal shine.

For connoisseurs of effects on long nails, the Rose under Glass and Double French techniques continue to be refined, which are performed on EDGE and MODERN ALMOND shapes.

One of the courses I recommend to pedicure specialists is Foot Reflexology, or the so-called Alternative Zone Therapy.
