Yvette del Toro It all started in an all-girls Catholic high school for me, when I realized that my friends were always coming to me for fashion advice. I felt that well groomed hands and feet could be a woman's best accessory at any age. Upon graduating I decided to obtain my manicurist’s license, and ever since, have focused on creating flawless manicures and pedicures – definitely an asset in a town like Los Angeles! I have been established for over 20 years and have worked on numerous clients from all walks of life. I feel that I exclude a level of professionalism, combined with a warm, caring personality for each and every client I have the privilege of working on. It’s nice to know that I can make someone feel pampered and beautiful. |
