The team
Four artists with very different hands. Pick the one who matches the set you’re after, or let us match you.
Christine Ng
@christinenails.fs
Founder · Lead Tech · Tier 3 Custom
Opened Fresh Set in 2025 after seven years at studios in Toronto and Hong Kong. Specializes in hand-illustrated and 3D sculpted custom work. Trained in Japanese gel + Russian dry e-file prep.
Mei Tanaka
@mei.fs
Senior Tech · Extensions
Five years specializing in Gel-X and BIAB. Builds the cleanest apex in the room. Fan of long coffin and short almond. She will steer you to the shape that lasts longest on your nail bed.
Yuki Park
@yuki.fs
Senior Tech · Acrylic + Bold Lengths
Started in acrylic at age 16. The person to book if you want a really long, really durable, really pointed set that doesn’t snap on day three.
Andrea Costa
@andrea.fs
Tech · Chrome + French
Hand-paints French tips faster than anyone we’ve ever worked with. Ran a chrome pop-up at TIFF in 2024 and brought the technique here. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and conversational Korean.
How we hire
Every Fresh Set tech does a half-day prep certification with Christine before they touch a paying client. We don’t take percentages off our techs’ tips, and we pay above the GTA median because the work is harder than it looks.
Open roles
We’re hiring a fifth tech for late 2026.
Strong builder gel + structured manicure preferred. Send a portfolio and three sets you’re proud of to hello@freshset.ca.
