THE TEAM
JOELLE
Hi, I’m Joelle and I’ve been in the nail industry for over 16 years!
I’ve been educating for over nine of those and it is a strong passion of mine. I love sharing my knowledge and pushing the boundaries to create the perfect set of nails. I own and operate a busy nail & spray tanning salon in West Auckland called Petite Nails.
I specialise in Sculpted Acrylics, Gel Extensions and Gel Polish.
I’m very excited to join the Lola Lee educational team and love using their industry-leading products.
I’m happily married and have 3 beautiful children, a chubby Bulldog called Snooki, and a French Bulldog called Frank.
We train out of Petite Nails for classes up to 6 but have another space for larger classes with great facilities and off-street parking.
JESS
Hey, I'm Jess!
I've been creating nails for 10 years, I'm an award-winning gel specialist, and if you can dream up the nail art, I'll probably say, "Challenge accepted!"
Outside the salon you'll usually find me running on Red Bull and Pepsi Max, wearing something with animal print, sipping a cocktail (when I'm off the clock Y). Mumma to 7 amazing humans, Nanny to 4 gorgeous mokos, and full-time Cat Mumma.
I love a good laugh, a good chat, and creating nails that make you feel like your best self. If you're after a relaxed appointment with plenty of laughs and a little bit of chaos (the fun kind) you’ll fit right in!
Can’t wait to meet you!
HELEN
Hi I’m Helen, after 17yrs in media I’m excited to be starting a new chapter as a nail tech!
I love combining bright colours and loud prints to create little pops of joy on your hands.
Born and raised in west Auckland, I have a firm belief leopard print is a neutral. I live locally with my cheeky dog, Koki, who provides an endless supply of funny stories.
I understand we can have different sensory needs. I offer the option of a silent appointment where talking is kept to a minimum, you are welcome to wear headphones during our appointment, and I use gentle preparation techniques.
As I am building my expertise my focus is on perfecting my technique. I offer gel manicures, Gel X extensions and basic nail art.
