It’s not often we get a brick and mortar business owner on the podcast but that’s exactly who we’re sharing with you today! The incredible Alexis Hudson (also known as Lexx) is joining us to share all about her journey from doing dorm room nails to taking the plunge into renting her own nail suite, while teaching other nail techs and incorporating faith into her business along the way.
Alexis is a licensed nail tech, beauty business mentor, founder of Presstines, a press on nail company and she also owns a micro nail salon that has grown globally. She combines almost a decade of industry experience with a passion for faith, personal development and philanthropy leading the Polish and Proverbs community. Presstines are passionate about providing first class service, elevating the entire nail care industry and in 2023, they launched the Presstines Promise Scholarship, where they support the next generation of nail techs through funding their nail education and state board exams.
Alexis is a great example of someone who has followed God’s vision for them from the very beginning, but also someone who understands the importance of prioritizing rest, family and community - so if you feel like you don’t have the balance quite right yet, be sure to tune in now!
