Hi everyone! Welcome to my safe space! The Hive is my little baby I’ve been cultivating for over 5 years now! I am originally from NJ, and moved to WV in September 2022! I was brought out here for my expertise in the nail industry, and now I’m bringing that to Downtown Charleston. I am currently at the end of my journey to pursue my instructors license here, as well. So stay tuned for so much more education! I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, i’m Erin! I’ve been doing nails for 4 years and have truly found my passion in life. I started out in my bedroom as a teenager doing nails on myself and friends, and had no idea it would grow into a full blown career! I have always been doing something artistic and crafty my whole life, and now I get to do it for a living! I specialize in hand painted art and love to get creative. I hope to see you in my chair soon! <3
