The Founder's Story

Stephanie Ullrich, the founder of The Nail Collective, has always been driven by her passion for the beauty industry. Despite facing financial challenges while growing up in poverty, Stephanie never let go of her dreams. Working long hours at a minimum wage job just to make ends meet, she held onto her determination and refused to give up.

Even after finally climbing the corporate ladder, she realized the
struggle was still there and she longed for purpose. She not only wanted freedom and flexibility, but she wanted that opportunity for others who were living the same experience.

One fateful day, Stephanie had an ingenious idea. She observed the explosive growth of
the nail art industry on social media, where influencers captivated millions of followers with their stunning nail art designs. Recognizing an untapped opportunity, she sought to bridge the gap between these talented artists and individuals who desired extraordinary nails but lacked access to these influencers.

With her hard-earned savings, Stephanie embarked on a journey
to create The Nail Collective. This groundbreaking platform connected influencer-style nail artists with people yearning for exceptional nail art. Leveraging the power of social media, she swiftly gained momentum and assembled a thriving community of gifted nail artists and delighted customers.

What set Stephanie's platform apart was its
holistic approach. Not only did The Nail Collective enable customers to discover talented nail artists, but it also provided training and mentorship opportunities for aspiring individuals passionate about nail art. Stephanie envisioned replicating her own success and empowering others to break free from poverty, enabling them to pursue their dreams.

Drawing from her own experiences as a
solopreneur in the nail business, Stephanie guided and instructed aspiring nail artists in the essential business and operational aspects of the industry. Armed with the necessary tools and resources, she equipped them to build thriving businesses and flourish in the fiercely competitive world of nail art.

Today, The Nail Collective stands tall as a flourishing business, boasting a
vibrant community of accomplished nail artists and satisfied customers. Stephanie takes immense pride in having created a platform that not only connects individuals with awe-inspiring nail art but also provides aspiring artists with opportunities to achieve their dreams.

Stephanie Ullrich's journey is a testament to the transformative
power of hard work, unwavering determination, and a sprinkle of creativity. Through her incredible story, she proves that anyone, regardless of their background, can overcome adversity, break free from poverty, and attain resounding success.

Stephanie’s Why

My why is to ensure that women in the beauty industry have access to financial freedom and stability through the use of social media. Growing up in poverty, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to pursue your dreams without the necessary resources and support. 

That's why I founded The Nail Collective, a platform that connects influencer-style nail artists with people seeking stunning nail art. But we don't stop there. We also provide training and mentorship opportunities for aspiring nail artists, sharing our knowledge and experience in both the artistic and business aspects of the industry. 

At The Nail Collective, we believe that beauty has the power to transform lives, and we are committed to using our platform to empower women in the beauty industry to break free from financial hardship and achieve success.
