Originally from Italy, Doriana Galasso brings a European philosophy of nail care to everything she does — one rooted in discipline, education, and deep respect for the natural nail.
Her journey began after moving to the United States in 1991, where she discovered nail artistry as both a craft and a form of empowerment. What captivated her wasn’t just the beauty of nails, but the way well-executed work could restore confidence — especially for clients with damaged, brittle, or neglected nails.
That moment sparked a lifelong commitment to mastering the science and artistry behind nail health.
With over 25 years of experience, Doriana founded L’Arte Delle Mani to challenge the industry’s shortcuts and raise the standard of professional nail care. Her mission is simple but uncompromising:
to protect the natural nail, not destroy it — and to prove that healthy nails are beautiful nails.
Doriana continuously studies European techniques and innovations, integrating advanced methods like structure manicures, medical-grade pedicures, and toenail restoration into everyday care. She believes nail work should never mask problems, but thoughtfully correct them through precision, hygiene, and skill.
Education is central to her practice — for herself, her team, and her clients. Every service begins with understanding the nail’s condition and ends with results that feel natural, strong, and lasting.
For Doriana, nails are more than a service. They are a professional craft, a form of self-expression, and a pathway to confidence. Her greatest reward is hearing clients say, “I love my nails.”
