My Story

Hi there! My name is Heather and I am the proud owner of Advanced Pedicure Solutions as well as Nail Network; a nail school and supply company. I previously owned a successful nail and tanning salon in my hometown for eight years. I was raised in an entrepreneurial family with a drive for continued learning and growing.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, and certifications for NASM Personal Trainer, Nutrition Health Coach, and Reiki Level II. Pairing my background training with years of customer service in various industries including grocery, retail, bars and grills, restaurants, administration, and management has cultivated a level of obsessive meticulousness for all things nails. I now specialize in transforming pedicures to make each client feel great through customized services.

I’ve lived in the La Crosse area since 2010 with my partner Ben, our family, and our cats. I am a 90's girl at heart, love summertime, live music, conspiracy theories, traveling, reading, and trying new foods.
