Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System

In 1995 Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System was created under another name in Clearwater Florida. In 1999 the company was purchased and moved to Lakewood Colorado located at the foot of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Dyanne Gordon was employed by the new owners as Sales Manager and head of technical support. As time went on Dyanne developed a passion for the product and the nail industry in general. In 2002 she had the opportunity to make the company her own - hence a "New Beginning".

Dyanne wanted to develop a new concept in personal service - a one on one with the clients, a quality and safe product at a fair price from a company that was also fun. That brings us to the company name.

Clawdia was a beautiful silky black Persian cat with lime green eyes and long sharp nails. She was a constant companion to Dyanne and her husband Bob, and was the inspiration behind Clawdia's Paws.

Clawdia lost her battle with Diabetes in October of 2003, but her loving memory will live on through Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System and the nail technician's using the product.

Clawdia's Paws Product Educators

CC Chapman - North Carolina

C. C. Chapman began her carreer 22 years ago in Washington D.C. In her early twenties she returned to her home town in North Carolina and opened the first nail salon in the area, possibly in the entire state. There were no liscensing requirments at that time, so C.C. began teaching classes in her salon over the next ten years.

In 1996 C.C was introduced to Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System and has been using it ever since. She now owns the oldest American operated salon in the area with a total of five full time technicians. Her staff has been with her since the beginning and her entire team of nail professionals was awarded the "Best of the Best" - a people's choice award given by the residents of her city and surrounding counties, four years in a row.

Lorie Payment - Montana

Lorie has enjoyed the nail industry for the past 18 years in the beautiful state of Montana.

During that time she has been a salon owner, educator, and competed in several nail competitions.

Lorie has tried at least 10 different acrylic systems and 5 different nail services. She was quoted as saying "My prefered system is Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System. I have used this product for eight years both as a client and now as an educator. My favorite feature of our product is it's very climate friendly. Cold or hot, it retains its durability. I am so happy to be a part of this team. I am looking forward to working with other nail professionals around the country."

Kenneth O'Berry - Georgia

My cosmetology career has spanned over 26 years. I hold a Master Cosmetology liscense in Florida and Georgia as well as an Instructors liscense in Georgia.

I own my own company with divisions in education, retail/services and salon management.

I have been using Clawdia's Paws Acrylic Nail System since its conception. I particularly like the durability and ease of use of this product. This system can be used by the newest of nail technicians or the seasoned professionals.

Tonya Collins - Ohio

I have been a licensed Managing Cosmetologist in Ohio since 1988. For the last 9 years I have specialized in nails only. My client list did not really start to expand until I started using Clawdia's Nail Care product line. For the last 5 years I have been an Educator with Clawdia's. Some of my clients are factory workers and acrylic never stayed on their nails, until I started using Clawdia's products. They have never had such a wonderful time with their nails. This product is great for new and veteran nail technicians alike; the product mix ratio is not hard to do for new techs and veteran techs find their time spent on a single client has decreased because they do not have to file as much. I use those extra minutes to put hand painted nail art on nails (added income). The people and staff, especially Dyanne, are wonderful to talk to. Any questions that you have we will answer and if we do not know the answer we will find out for you.

Thank you for visiting our site. We look forward to a long relationship as your product supplier.
