Career biography: Francesca Paliotto, 26, born in Ferrara. My passion for the nail world has been born since the age of 11/12 years. This led me to start practising as a self-taught nail pro at the age of 14 & subsequently to attend training courses with several teachers. In 2019 I opened my nail studio & in 2022 I decided to train to compete. This is how a path started that took me to the podium winning the European Cup, Winners of Winners & over 45 medals. In the meantime I also started teaching, organising training courses aimed at both beginners & experts in the nail world.
Personal biography: Besides doing nails I like to practice nails. I enjoy experiences with friends & travel when possible, I love both the mountains & the sea.
Why you believe in nail competitions?: I believe in nail competitions because they can really change the way you work & help you improve a lot in a short space of time, pushing you to seek excellence.
Advice to other competitors: The advice I would give to other nail technicians who aspire to compete is to train hard to reach your goals, never feel down if a competition goes badly, but use it to work even harder & always believe in your abilities.
