Dawn Marie Bassett is a manicurist. She’s been at it for 22 years. She came to the work because after getting her nails done regularly, she thought, “This is fun.” She’s never looked back and has been passionate about the work ever since. That passion has carried her in different directions, but they all involved the business of taking care of people’s nails.
   
Dawn Marie was on the road for five years, working as an educator in the business, traveling around the country for a nail gel manufacturing company. She would go to beauty shows once a month in major cities around the country – New York, San Francisco, Chicago – demonstrating and selling the product line. She would demonstrate to students or those already in the industry, always enthusiastic about what she was doing. When she tired of traveling, she started her own business.
