Today we’d like to introduce you to Angela Puig.
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?
It all started when I was 12 years old. My passion in the Nail industry was growing and I was reflecting it by doing my mom, sisters, and friends nails. Gel wasn’t even around and still I managed to create designs, and funky nail ideas with regular nail polish. Fast forward to 2015, I was in a completely different environment. I had been working for a freight forwarding company for years and was already at the top. There was no more room for growth. I made a life-changing decision; I was a mom of three, married and had a lot on my plate. My husband with his unconditional support was the push I needed to open my own business.
2015 was the year AP All Beauty Bar was created it.
I went to school and acquired my Florida License. Ever since I have dedicated my time, knowledge and resources to become a Natural Nail Specialist.
I work with Structured gel which has been life-changing for Nail biters, Chemotherapy patients and clients that are transitioning from other toxic nail systems. Or simply have damaged nails by other techs using careless techniques or poor quality products.
The Nail industry is constantly evolving, therefore I take as many course as I can. I was trained by Lisa Kon on how to properly perform the Russian Manicure.
I take pride in the manicures I do. They are cleaner, and take more time because of all the details involved in the process.
My work has been featured by OPI, Kokoist, Apres, Luminary Nail Systems, Beyond Nail Polish and Lisa Kon. I have also been able to do the nails of a few celebrities.
I’m a passionate individual who loves the Beauty industry.
My clients tell me I don’t do Nails, I create Art, I create beautiful pieces for amazing individuals.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Oh my god no! There were many struggles. Beginnings are never easy. I left a secure job with impressive benefits to start my own business.
It was hard because building the clientele takes time and dedication. But I firmly believe my work paved the way to where I am today.As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I have specialized in Structured gel. I’m called a Nail Whisper amongst my clients.
I can make your Natural nails grow by combining the products, the love, and positive vibes I put into my work. All my clients start with short, weak nails and three weeks later the growth is insane.
I’m mostly proud of the relationship I’ve developed with my clients. I advise them on a personal level, we have shared beautiful and sad moments.
What sets me apart from others is definitely my dedication for their Nail goals. Whether is short square, long almond, stilettos, or coffin nails they leave happy. They feel renewed, confident, and their alter ego comes to life.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Family! My family is my rock.
I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for them. I push hard to become a better version of myself every single day. I firmly believe you lead by example. And I want my children to fight for what they want, to grow personally and professionally just like I have been able to do thanks to their support.
