Roger
Restoring Confidence with Nail Care

A Small Change, A Big Difference

Imagine the frustration of losing control over basic self-care. Your loved one, once proud of their appearance, now avoids social interactions, embarrassed by neglected nails.

Meet Roger: A Story of Renewal

A retired carpenter, Roger struggled with nail care due to arthritis. His daughter, Mikka, saw his confidence fade—until she found our professional nail care service. Our therapist, Sabrina, provided expert care in the comfort of Roger’s home, restoring not just his hands and feet, but his self-esteem.
