Hey, I'm Tanisha!

The Salon "AunTie" Who Went From Broke to Boss

30+ years in beauty. Retired before 50. Here's how I did it.

My Story

At 20, I was broke, newly married, and trapped.

My marriage became emotionally abusive. My dreams of becoming an attorney were crumbling. I was barely surviving paycheck to paycheck while secretly planning my escape.

When I finally told my husband I was done, he pulled a gun on me.

I stayed calm, said what he wanted to hear... and LIVED.

At the first opportunity, I dropped out of college, packed my car, drove to Arizona, and never looked back.

New Beginnings

Starting over with no money and nowhere to live.

I relied on an old boss for a job and a friend for a couch. I was scared of how people would see me - a young, divorced, bankrupt woman.

But the fear of depending on someone again was stronger than any other fear.

"He didn't pull the trigger, so I had a chance to do something big."

When a friend's mom mentioned getting her nail license and suggested I join her, I said yes.

That simple "yes" changed my entire life.

From Survival to Success

What started as survival became my calling.

I quickly realized I was DAMN GOOD at it - and more than that, I loved it.

But here's what made the difference.

From DAY ONE: I treated my beauty business like a real business.

  • Saved EVERY tip and followed a strict budget

  • Knew EXACTLY what I needed to make weekly

  • Had a financial advisor, tax professional, and attorney from the beginning

  • My customer service and communication was ELITE - NEVER missed appointments or calls

  • Rewarded referrals like they were gold

Within 3 years: Opened KrazyNails with 100+ loyal clients
