We recently connected with Celsei Borroum and have shared our conversation below.

Celsei, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

Before covid I realized I had a passion for Nails. I propelled into my nail career at that time, with all the glitz’s and Glam. Post covid I realized this was the career I wanted to move forward with! I went to school and obtained my professional manicuring license. Soon after I realized art wasn’t just doing it, it wasn’t enough. I soon realized how important our community needed a Wellness professional taking care of their feet, from the Elderly to Diabetic community and autoimmune compromised individuals. I continued my education to be certified as a Advanced and Wellness Nail Technician. I didn’t stop there but I continued on to shadow with a podiatrist and obtain my certification as a medical nail technician. It be came clear that our community health was not being put first before beauty standards.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Hi my name is Celsei although most Call me CeCee. I’ve always had a passion for Nails and Creativity all around. Post Pandemic I made it a priority to step into faith to reach my Goal of being a licensed Nail Technician. Here I am today, a Certified Licensed Advanced Nail Tech and Wellness Nail Tech and soon to be MNT! I took my passion 2yrs ago and Manifested my dreams! My Goal is to provide the most Upstanding, Aseptic Bare Nail &Toe Services. Whether your focus be your Nail Health,Wellness & relaxation or even Aesthetics it is in my profession to deliver the best to you.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

Nails once was a Hobby and Craft Turned in to being my side Hustle Pre Covid. I soon learned during those Two years Post Covid this is what I wanted to do for my career. Nails was my Outlet that allowed my creativity to Flow. Later to Find Out it would’ve the very last thing I would do for my Grandmother before she Transitioned. It gave me more motivation to continue this journey that I had started out as a hobby.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I had to learn being a Entrepreneur was not for the weak. It takes just as much sacrifice and dedication as you would with any job/Career. The Goal is to find something that was rewarding enough that it didn’t not feel like an “ordinary Job”.
