Who are we?

Vacation Nail Collective is your independent nail art oasis.

Founded in 2021 by celebrity manicurist Rachel Messick, Vacation Nail Collective grew out of years spent working independently, first from a home studio and later from a salon suite. Along the way, Rachel became passionate about artist ownership and the idea that nail professionals should have the opportunity to build businesses of their own.

Traditional salon models aren't always designed with that goal in mind. Vacation Nail Collective was created to give independent artists the freedom to run their businesses independently while still having the support, camaraderie, and creative energy that comes from working alongside other talented professionals.

Today, Vacation Nail Collective is home to a group of independent nail artists, each with their own clientele, specialties, and creative perspective.

All artists at Vacation Nail Collective operate independently and see clients by appointment only. Please contact your artist of choice directly regarding availability, services, and pricing.
