Meet Sarah
Owner + Nail Artist at Piper Gretchen Nails
Sarah is a licensed nail technician, salon owner, and passionate artist who specializes in detailed nail art, clean structured manicures, and designs that reflect your unique style. At Piper Gretchen Nails in Dillon, Colorado, she leads a small but mighty team offering high-end nail services in a cozy, creative space.
Licensed since 2007, Sarah brings nearly two decades of experience behind the table. In 2024, she became certified in Russian Manicure techniques, known for their meticulous cuticle work and ultra-polished finish. Her commitment to detail and longevity means every manicure is built to last—and built to impress.
The salon’s name is a tribute to Piper Gretchen, the beloved Himalayan cat who originally inspired Sarah to build a business as personal and memorable as her manicures. These days, she shares her home in Dillon with her husband and two new mischievous Ragdolls—Olive and Elbie—who keep things entertaining (and covered in fur).
A proud Enneagram 8 and true Gemini, Sarah is a bold blend of fierce and funny. She’s opinionated, bubbly, and never one to sugarcoat—but her warmth and quick wit make every appointment feel like catching up with an old friend. Though introverted by nature, she lights up in the salon, ready to chat about anything and everything—from mountain life to the latest reality show meltdown.
She lives for summer, patio happy hours, and great conversation (but would happily skip winter altogether). Nail art is her creative love, but it’s the connection with her clients—and the confidence they walk out with—that keeps her inspired every day.
If you’re craving nails that make a statement and a nail tech who’s equal parts skilled and spicy, Sarah’s your girl. Book now and get ready for artful nails, strong opinions, and a whole lot of fun.
