It all started in a little studio in New Jersey called Nail Gems.
For nearly forty years, I’ve been expanding my education and honing my expertise to offer the most innovative and thoughtful service in the industry. As an experienced medical nail care professional, I operate at the intersection of cosmetology and medicine, delivering clinical results and ensuring the highest level of hygiene, including a top-of-the-line autoclave sterilization process.
“I promise you, your nails and feet have never looked and felt so good.”
— Monica Cherry, Owner
Healthy nails and feet for men and women.
A licensed cosmetologist since 1985, I have been relentless in my education to serve clients with the knowledge and expertise of cosmetology and podiatry. I’ve studied under a podiatrist and have hands-on experience with diabetic and other foot and nail conditions, allowing my clients to experience a medical pedicure that prioritizes comfort with clinical results. I ensure the highest level of hygiene while offering a painless relaxing experience, including the sterilization of all implements, as well as using disposal files and other equipment sustainably designed for one-time use — ensuring a safe and clean treatment. I am the first in the state of Connecticut and New Jersey to be a certified for these methods.
