About
J E S S C L A R K E
Hi nail babes,
I'm Jess, the human behind Rebelle Nails. I'm a qualified Nail Artist with a passion for natural nail health and creating miniature masterpieces.
I am super passionate about nail education and love to up skill and stay up to date with the latest industry information, which means I attend multiple upskilling classes per year. I also love to pass on my knowledge to others in the industry and currently offer one on one mentoring services to already qualified techs looking to refine their skillset.
In terms of my education, I currently hold an Essential Nail Professional Diploma in Nail Anatomy, Product Chemistry and Health & Safety. As well as qualifications from Leah Light Studios, Monaco Nail Academy and have also attended up skilling courses held by Switch Funky, Artistic Nail Design, The Nail Vault (Designer Nails), The Gel Bottle Inc, Ewa Krzos (dream_nails_ewa), Amanda Viviers (Viviers Beauty), Sammie Nicole Nails and Get Buffed Nails via NZ Nail Academy. I also hold a Level 5 qualification in Adult and Tertiary teaching.
I have been in the beauty industry for 11 plus years and have been doing nails for 7 plus of those years. I actually started my nail journey as an apprentice. Through hard work and lots of determination I was able to work my way up through different roles within a salon environment, until I reached my peak in the business as the Regional Manager and Salon Educator. Naturally the next step for me was to branch out and have my own space to create, which was the birth of Rebelle Nails in 2019.
Being a Nail Technician is so much more than "just nails", not only do I get to do what I love, I also get to connect with so many beautiful humans and build incredible bonds along the way. I've had the pleasure of being there through some of my clients biggest life moments, i've watched many meet their partners, get engaged, get married, have babies, celebrate promotions, purchase their first homes, retire, become grandparents as well as being able to comfort and support them through some of life's tougher moments, which truly is such an honour to be invited in to share someone's brightest & darkest moments.
My speciality is in working with Gel Polish & Builder Gel over natural nails and helping you to grow and maintain healthy, strong nails. I love all things minimalistic & abstract, negative space art is my ultimate fave! I've been lucky enough to have had a lot of creative freedom with my clients over the years and have done some pretty fun sets, so feel free to send through some inspo and lets see what I can recreate for you!
My cute wee home salon is a safe and welcoming space for ALL to come and unwind in a private setting, which means it's a super safe and judgement free space to talk or to have some quiet time. For those who are looking for some quiet time, we offer silent appointments if you would prefer to relax & chuck your headphones in, feel free to listen to music or catch up on podcasts/series you may be watching etc. If you would like a silent appointment please let us know either when booking or upon arrival.
I hope to see you in the salon soon!
