Your Instructor
Licensed in California and Nevada Nail Artist Yuka
"I want every student to leave my class feeling like they can actually do this — because they can."
Hi, I'm Yuka! I grew up in Japan and after training and working professionally for years, I brought my passion for Japanese gel nail art to the Bay Area, CA when I opened my own business in 2018.
What started as a salon quickly grew into something I love even more — teaching. I began offering in-person classes and expanded to online, so students anywhere could learn the techniques.
When the world slowed down during COVID, I channeled that energy into building a custom press-on nail business, creating wearable art for clients who love beautiful nails on their own terms.
My teaching style is patient, detailed, and always encouraging. Whether you've never touched a gel brush or you're a working nail tech looking to level up, I'll meet you exactly where you are.
