Meet Kelli

Hi, I'm Kelli.
Salon Owner • Nail Educator • Product Creator
But most importantly, a working nail technician.
For over 5 years, I've dedicated my career to helping clients feel confident, helping nail professionals build successful careers, and creating products that actually work with the professional.
What started as a passion for nails grew into Kandykrylix, The Nail Co. - an award winning nail salon, nail supply store, and education brand based in Charleston, West Virginia.
Today, I continue to work with clients, educate nail professionals across the country, and develop products that are tested daily in a real salon environment before they ever reach your desk.
Unlike many beauty brands, Kandykrylix wasn't created in a boardroom. It was built behind the table, one client at a time.
Over the years, my work and products have been featured in publications, on television, and in high-profile opportunities across the beauty industry. But the thing I'm most proud of is the community we've built and the professionals we've helped grow.
Whether you're shopping for products, attending a class, or looking for guidance in your own beauty career, I'm honored you're here.
Welcome to Kandykrylix.
