Jacqui Shreve quite literally helps her clients put their best feet forward.
Shreve, who is in her mid-40s, specializes in reconstructing and reshaping toenails for customers who
have been severely deformed by injury, disease or illness. She uses a flexible, durable composite resin
product that restores the appearance of the toenails while allowing the remaining natural nail to grow.
Because many clients have compromised immune systems, she ensures that her office and equipment
meet the cleanliness standards set by hospitals and clinics. Many of her tools are used one time and then
discarded, while others are sanitized between visits.
“This is a place where people with damaged toenails can get safe pedicures,” Shreve said
“There’s always an emotional moment when my clients see their reconstructed nails for the first time.
The number of people who cry after getting one of my pedicures — I never expected that.”
