Books on abstract art at local bookstores, or colorful prints on dresses from her favorite vintage stores, are just a few of the places nail artist, Lori Sartain, draws inspiration for her extraordinary work.
Lori is a master at her craft. In cosmetology school, while taking the nail portion of her curriculum, she knew right away that it wasn't hair she wanted to pursue, so she withdrew and headed straight to nail school. After employment in several high-end salons and spas, she snagged a salon suite in her favorite space, IMAGE Studios Foothill, where she opened Crow Nail Studio in October of 2021.
In March of 2022 Lori had her last drink. She is on track to hit a six-figure income in 2023, and credits her sobriety for her clarity and sense of purpose. She has since hired her first employee and launched another business, SPARX Permanent Jewelry. "I am beyond amazed with how far I have come in just the last year and cannot wait to see what the future holds."
