SPIRItED BEAutICIAN HAS BuSINESS NAILED
this award winning beautician has absolutely nailed her claw creations even battling cancer and still coming out on top.
Jennifer Valentine, 31, has now opened her own salon on Blackness Road after scooping industry awards.
Most recently she was named Best Nail Artist of 2017 at the Scottish Hair and Beauty Awards in October 2017.
And now she has been nominated as Nail Technician of the Year at the Scottish Beauty Industry awards which will be announced on June 17.
It all started nine years ago when Jennifer undertook a nail technician diploma in Glasgow.
Jennifer said: “Beauty was something I was always into and after completing my diploma I did nails part time.
“About five years ago I started my own business at home then started renting spaces in salons.”
In 2016 Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer but still carried on creating could never dream of doing anything else. To anyone who may have gone through an illness and may be struggling I would say don’t let your illness get in the way or bring you down.
“Nothing is impossible and I really hope I can be an inspiration to others.”
Jennifer’s amazing nail art has made her a well known name around Dundee and she admits she is very proud.
“I feel so proud with what I have managed to achieve especially after being ill, it is great that so many people now know my name,” she said.
