new for @allure! i noticed a bunch of experts reporting a sharp increase in clients bringing in AI-generated inspiration photos to their beauty appointments. to me, bringing in a computer-generated image and saying “do this to my human body” is a whole new level of delusional customer behavior... but i’m not the one who has to actually try to manage client/patient expectations, so i asked some nail artists, hairstylists, plastic surgeons, and tattoo artists to share how they’re navigating this whole situation. read it now on allure.com, full link in stories/my bio 🤖

thank you @doftnewyork @pearlmanaestheticsurgery @primping_aint_easy @nailartbysig @the.blonde.chronicles @hope2dye.ict @sarabriscoe_rocaverde @lovebug.tattoo @tattoosbyalyssa @inkedbyjuls for taking the time to answer my questions, @jamesmanso for the supportive edits, and @markbakersanchez for the freaky cool lead image design 🖤🖤🖤🖤

This Weenie Wednesday I’m posting a thir$t trap of sorts for all you Dachshund moms and NYC baddies…

Tell me these NYC and Weenie nails aren’t the best thing on your feed today. I’ll wait.

Special thanks to my amazing friend, the absurdly talented @primping_aint_easy for bringing these nails to life in time for Graduation!

7 retreats at @gitanadelmarbeachresort in 10 years. This 1 was special. ✨

In many ways, it feels like @gitanadelmarbeachresort and I have grown up together. I first stepped onto this sand in 2016, and 7 retreats later, it feels like coming home.

There is a specific magic here—the pulse of what the Kogi people call “the heart of the world.” To be able to guide others into that rhythm for a decade is a gift I don’t take lightly.
"Thank you" doesn’t even begin to cover it.

If you were there for this one, you know. What a time we had. I LOVE YOU ALL + SURRENDER TO THE FLOW 🌀. If you’re curious, don’t worry…we’ll be back.

Next stop — GREECE 🇬🇷 August 14-20. Sign up now!

Thank you, Narina.
For literally holding the door open for me, bringing me into the room, and giving me space to shine. That gesture will never be small to me.

And special thank you @itssusanchang, our backstage director, for making sure nail artists weren’t an after thought, and seen as essential to the show. Meant more than you know.

This is just the beginning.
See you again soon, New York.
