After 20 years of professional experience as a high-end nail technician at Bliss 49 in the W Hotel in New York City, Regina Vardanian brings her emphasis on excellence and elevation to clients in Sarasota.
Vardanian opened her nail salon, NailHaus SRQ, last year in a location just off Fruitville Road.
