Laura-Rachelle
Laura-Rachelle is the co-owner of Gothique along side her spooky son/business partner. She is a Certified Esthetician from St Clair College with additional certificates in sanitation, acrylic application, 3D acrylic art and acrylic ombre to name a few. Gothique (formerly Boss Nails) is her dream business stemming from having worked in some very dirty, unregulated salons in her past. The pillars of Gothique were established to offer safe and comfortable services to any Boss babe (of legal age) without them feeling rushed or judged. While sanitation is our number 1 priority, beautiful nails are a close second!

Gomez is the unofficial owner and marketing manager of Gothique. This spooky boy is responsible for keeping staff in check and the business running smoothly without impacting Laura's health. Gomez is a support kitty who helps remind Laura of medicine intervals and supports her anxiety while in the work place. While he is allergenic, we always carry non-drowsy benadryl in the event its needed. He wont intrude on your appointment unless you are one of the lucky few of his fans that gets some "gomie snuggles". Note that Gomez is only present in the salon when he's working, he may not be in at your appointment. If you are very allergic or afraid of animals please reach out before booking!
Sanitation
Sanitation
The most important part! At Gothique we exceed the WECHU guidelines and proudly offer a "risk free" salon experience. In the salon, all porous non-serializable equipment is disposed of after every use. We never reuse files, buffers, sanding bands, pumice bars, pedicure liners etc.
Every service starts with a chemically sterilized kit including a cuticle pusher and cuticle filing bit. We never cut cuticles only mechanically remove them, thus allowing them to naturally recess and reduce risk of bleeding during service. Note that we will not service anyone with open wounds or visible nail infections, this is the LAW.
Every pedicure is done in a disinfected basin, lined with a disposable basin liner and with magnetic jet that is chemically sterilized between EVERY client. Disposable pedicure kits are used and only metal implements are disinfected and reused. Tools are NEVER shared between clients!
We are proudly Pre-empt certified and can answer any questions or concerns you may have about sanitation in the salon!
