Tammy
WI Licensed Nail Technician

Hi, my name is Tammy. I started doing nails in 1992, after I graduated from Capri College. It is my passion and joy. I love helping people look and feel great. I was born and raised in Madison. I developed family values, loyal friendships and a mid western work ethic. I embrace my family’s heritage and continue to gather strength from them.

My hobbies include playing league softball, watching Brewers baseball and NASCAR. I also enjoy traveling to areas where beach and ocean life is the focus. Also important to me is staying healthy, cooking, celebrating holidays and life events with family, friends, and clients.

I am happy to be a part of the KR team and I look forward to meeting all of you and sharing my passion for nails.

“My recent Spa Pedicure experience was excellent from start to finish. Tammy was friendly and professional and my piggies were cared for to the fullest extent. Thanks for the excellent spa experience!”

Lynn
WI Licensed Nail Technician

Hi I’m Lynn, and I’m a nail technician here at Kneaded Relief.

I grew up in Madison and raised my family here. I share a close connection with my kids and grandkids, they mean the world to me. Family and friends are very important to me and I’m happy to have found all in the Madison area.

When I was in middle school, I my stylist told me that I’d make a good cosmetologist. She told me I had a gift for working with other people. That really resonated. I decided I would go to cosmetology school after graduating. While in school, I was drawn to manicure and pedicure services. I felt a connection to others and how the human touch can be healing and nurturing to the body and soul.

I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships over the years through owning my own nail business and those connections continue to this day. I love being free to interact with my guests – whether it be catching up on their lives or letting them relax during their service.

After owning my own business, I went to work as an instructor at The Aveda Institute in Madison, WI. The idea of teaching others appealed to me, showing them what I love doing, and sharing that passion with others but I felt called back to working one on one with guests.

I felt drawn to Kneaded Relief due to the wellness aspect. I wanted to connect with other like-minded people, it seemed to have that “vibe”. I found my “tribe” at Kneaded Relief in my coworkers, bosses and guests. I manifested my career and where I am today.

“Always fabulous. I travel from Racine just to have Lynn do a pedicure for me. The entire spa is so relaxing, offering so many services and beautiful products. Its such a joy to come.”


Jordy
WI Licensed Nail Technician

Hello! My name is Jordy and I have been doing nails for as long as I can remember! I grew up practicing on my mom, sister, grandma, and even my dad! Thanks to my family’s support, I pursued a career in Cosmetology and have been honing in on my craft ever since.

I grew up in Wisconsin Dells, and a few years out of high school I attended Panache Academy of Beauty, and graduated in 2019.I enjoy all forms of being creative and love painting, drawing, baking, and even making clothes. I love helping my clients feel their absolute best and express themselves through designs and many colors that they can choose from.

Growing up in a small town, I have gained an appreciation for the hospitality and kindness that shines through in the community, and I hope I can create that same environment for each and every one of my clients. I am so excited to continue pursuing my passions at Kneaded Relief and am so glad to be a part of such a genuine group of professionals!

Loved the whole treatment received and Jordy was obviously skilled and had pleasant demeanor. Very easy to talk to and explained each step in process plus the products used. Very satisfied.”

Alanah 
WI Licensed Nail Technician

Hi my name is Alanah or Lana for short!  I was born and raised in Rockford Il., which is where most of my family still is.  My mom is a Massage Therapist, I have one sister, three nieces and one nephew! I also have a son, a step daughter and two crazy cats.  In my free time I like to cook, do yoga and take family trips.   

I moved to Madison in 2012 after I graduated from Harlem High School.  My parents are very earth friendly and all about organic so when I found Aveda Cosmetology School I couldn’t wait to start working towards my career.  Unfortunately, with only three months left I was in a serious car accident and couldn’t finish the program so I knew it was time for a change.   

I have a great love and passion for nails, so I worked for a few years until I finally decided to sign up for school once more, but this time doing what I love, Nails!  I attended Elite Nail School and graduated in 2017.  After a few short months we were blessed with our baby boy Giovanni.  Well, they sure aren’t lying when they say babies are a lot of work, but that didn’t stop me from doing nails and continuing my education.   

I am a licensed Nail Technician, certified in Wisconsin and also have advanced in Cuccio Powder Polish Dip training system, Manicure, Pedicure, Shellac and Russian Manicuring.  I love being a part of the Kneaded Relief Team and make it a priority to make our clients’ look and feel amazing, inside and out.

This was my first pedicure in a few years and also my first with Alanah. She was excellent, very satisfied with my toes. She's so personable and relatable. I would schedule with her again”


Sharita 
WI Licensed Nail Technician

Hello!

My name is Sharita! My family & friends lovingly refer to me as She-She, so feel free to do the same!

I was born and raised in Fitchburg, WI. I know and love the area well!

I went to nail school to save money for culinary school. While in nail school, I fell in love with the connections I made with my clients. As I got to know them, they became loyal friends and that’s what really hooked me on my nail career. I graduated from Martins Cosmetology College in 2004 and have been practicing, creating and teaching since.

Specializing in Natural, Medical and Artificial enhancements for both Men's and women's hand and foot care & education, leaves my guests both relaxed and informed about our most used extremities.

I enjoy doing pedicures because they are so beneficial to each guest. I’m a results driven person so I love seeing how much a difference one service can make not only in a guest’s feet but in their relaxation and stress levels.

Looking forward to seeing & taking care of you soon!

“Sharita was professional, kind, attentive, top notch. THE first quality nail service I received in Madison. I’ve tried 5 places.”
