Hi everyone,
It’s been quite a journey since I first started my little nail studio, and I think it’s about time I properly introduce myself. My name is Kanitta. I moved to Australia by myself from Thailand in 2007 with nothing but a laundry bag ( the kind that looks like a colourful Balenciaga Bazar bag) full of Warhammer 40k miniatures, which I loved painting. Before all of this, I was a professional fighter in what feels like another lifetime. When I first arrived here, I worked as a dishwasher in a café while training for a fight that never happened. I ended up staying in hospitality for years until old sports injuries made it hard to be on my feet all day. So, here I am now, doing nails and loving every second of it. If you’d told the old me I’d be a nail artist, I probably would’ve laughed. But I’m so grateful for the crazy journey that brought me here. I absolutely love my job, and I can’t wait to see my amazing clients, many of whom have become friends I look forward to catching up with.
A little bit about me: • I’m a dog mom to a Frenchie who I treat like my birthed child. • I’m a Scorpio. • I manage my depression and anxiety well without medication. • I have a heart condition. • I’m a Buddhist. • I avoid caffeinated beverages because they keep me up for days. • I learned English by watching “Terminator 2,” “Friends,” and “South Park.” • I’m the first female fighter from Southeast Asia to compete in MMA. • I’m a domestic violence survivor. • I’ve been into heavy music since I was 11. I love gothic/ death/ black metal. • I love true crime and ghost stories. • I love drawing. I love Manga. Junji Ito is my favorite.
If you’ve read this far, thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I’m truly grateful to be where I am today, and I couldn’t have done it without your support. Words can’t express how much I appreciate having you in the studio, holding hands with me on this journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You think doing your own nails is hard… try taking the photos yourself afterwards.
