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.
