Chaun Legend: Many, many years ago, in 2006, I was in Philly, where I’m originally from, and I knew nothing about nails. Literally nothing. But a good friend of mine convinced me to move to Kentucky because his sister had opened a huge nail [studio] in Lexington. He said he’d pay for my flights and my car and help me get licensed to help them out. At the time, I didn’t have a lot gong on in Philly. I was like, ‘Damn, free apartment, free car. Okay, yeah.’ Once I got to Kentucky, I started working in the salon, which wasn’t that bad because I have an art background, I already knew how to draw and paint. I was able to incorporate art into the nails. The love grew from there.
