Hi,

My name is Laura Barber, I have been a certified nail technician and stylist for 17 years, owning a salon for over 9 years.

I have always loved teaching others as I have seen many of my students excel, in the fine art of the beauty industry from application, shaping, 3D and caricature hand painting.

That’s why my true passion is “educating“ – as a nail artist, quality is so important to me. I truly believe in doing what sets your heart on fire!

Bonjour,

Mon nom est Caty Pilote, je suis de Mont-Tremblant, Québec. Mère de deux garçons énergiques, j’ai toujours été, depuis mon tout jeune âge, attirée par les arts. Les gens se souviennent souvent de moi était ” la fille qui dessinait”.

Dans l’industrie depuis maintenant 9 ans, je suis technicienne en pose d’ongles à plein temps et également formatrice pour Magic Gel depuis leurs débuts. J’ai écris des articles pour le magasine Ongles Addict Québec et j’ai eut la chance de performer en tant qu’artiste invitée au Congrès des professionnelles en Beauté 2017.

Passionnée et curieuse, j’aime partager mes connaissances et aider les techniciennes à augmenter leur confiance et leur créativité.
J’espère avoir la chance de vous rencontrer très bientôt lors d’une de mes formations pour échanger astuces et nouvelles techniques.

Les années ont passé et ma passion pour l’enseignement a refait surface…je voulais cependant relever un nouveau défit! J’ai fait la rencontre de ma
« fée » sirène ( Caty Pilote )qui m’a entraînée dans l’océan de la créativité! Magic gel system est pour moi un nouveau tremplin. Je plonge dans cette nouvelle aventure! Au plaisir de vous partager mon savoir et de vous transmettre ma passion!

Hey Guys!

My name is Mariah Chatelaine and I am a licensed nail technician and microblading artist in Nova Scotia! If I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me chasing after the most amazing little boy!

A few years ago I decided to give up my career in the health care field to feed my overwhelming desire to be more creative and artistic (and not to mention my secret love of nails).

Past job descriptions lead me to be an instructor for continuing education within the agency, which I had a drive for. Therefore being able to share my passion with other techs by becoming an educator with Magic Gel is a very exciting next step in my career path.

I am looking forward to continuing my client satisfaction within workshops of new/trending nail techniques, product knowledge, (both seasoned and upcoming) as well as consulting salons for existing nail technicians.
