ABOUT US
(My new booking service can be found on Comb: https://refined-nails-with-caroline.comb.works ) I’m Caroline, a licensed structural nail specialist with 22+ years of professional experience. I trained at Le Mélange Academy in Napa, CA, and refined my craft in high-end Napa Valley salons and spas, including Solage Spa in Calistoga, serving clients who valued precision, comfort, and beautifully maintained results. Today, I offer a quiet, appointment-only experience inside The Craft Society in Lakeport, CA, with an emphasis on thoughtful Waterless Nail Care and elevated Pedicure services. My space is designed for clients who appreciate meticulous work, personalized care, and the opportunity to slow down for a little while. Every appointment is intentionally unhurried. I focus on detailed cuticle care, thoughtful shaping, proper structure, and helping you choose services that make sense for your natural nails, lifestyle, and maintenance needs. Whether you’re here for routine care or your feet simply need a little extra attention, my goal is for you to leave feeling cared for, comfortable, and beautifully polished. Sanitation is equally important to the experience. Reusable metal implements are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized in a true autoclave system, using the same type of sterilization technology found in clinical environments. Single-use items are never reused, and every service is performed with intention from beginning to end.
