Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexa Sandoval.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Story started in 2020 right in the middle of Covid just like everyone else i was going crazy having to quarantine with the rest of the world. I decided to turn my frustration into creative fuel and learn a new hobby. Day and night spending endless hours and investing in my craft, i was creating and learning new designs. Only practicing on myself and family with the power of social media and TikTok at its peak i was getting lots of attention encouraging me to start my Nail Page and from there everything took off. i was able to connect with so many creative influencer, music artist, photographers, small business owners and so many more cool individuals to come together and create a nail concept to help execute editorial projects.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying ,sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing” Since the beginning there was nothing but obstacles. My interest for learning new technique persevered any obstacle that was put in my path. For the first 3 years of my new business i worked a fulltime job to help fund my nail hobby. Eventually i than build a private suite shortly after my home flooded leaving my family and i to move and live in a Airbnb for a whole year and simultaneously i was experiencing burn out from working 40 hours a week & taking clients all while trying to balance personal/work life i completely loss my passion& quite taking clients for a whole year. one day i decided to take back control enrolled into nail school & was able to accomplish so much more than the first time in a shorter amount of time.
