Meet the Artist
Hi, I'm Tarnekia
I'm a licensed cosmetologist offering a full range of hair and nail services — but my heart and my craft live in nail artistry. Velvet Luxe was built around one vision: giving every client a set that's intentional, elevated, and uniquely theirs.
From intricate nail art and custom acrylics to braids and sew-ins, I bring skill and care to every service. But when it comes to nails, I go all in — every detail, every design, every finish is crafted with precision and passion. My goal is simple: you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.
