Who we are

Saint Venom is more than just an independent nail salon — we are a movement redefining modern beauty with a venomous edge. Founded in Brooklyn, New York and operating out of Rockville, MD, Saint Venom began with a passion for intricate nail artistry and a commitment to elevating the client experience through luxury, education, and expression.

But we’re not stopping at nails.

Saint Venom is growing into a full-fledged brand built for artists, creatives, and beauty lovers everywhere. Soon, we’ll be offering live demos, and educational resources designed to empower the next generation of nail techs and enthusiasts. Whether you’re here for the flawless sets, the knowledge, or the bold aesthetics — you’re part of something bigger.

Saint Venom is the future of nail culture. And we’re just getting started.

My name is Dolce, and I’m the founder & CEO of Saint Venom — a brand born from legacy, culture, and passion. I am a licensed Nail Tech.

I’m an Italian-Mexican New Yorker, adopted and deeply rooted in the values my family instilled in me. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Business, but it was my passion for nail artistry that truly lit a fire in me. I discovered that nails are more than just beauty — they’re structure, science, art, and discipline.

I also live with severe GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and chronic heartburn — a condition that impacts me daily and can make physical work difficult at times. Because of this, my services may take a little longer, but I ask for your patience and understanding. I move with intention, care, and precision. No matter what, I will always come through and deliver quality, artistry, and excellence. Every set I do is crafted with heart — even on the hard days.

Saint Venom was officially established in August 2025, but I’ve been doing nails for over a year, pouring everything I have into my craft. That dedication comes from my grandfather, who emigrated from Carrara, Italy — a region known for its marble — and became a master mason. He worked on iconic buildings from New York City to Washington, D.C., including the Supreme Court and the Jefferson Memorial. I carry that same spirit of precision and artistry into every set I create.

Saint Venom isn’t just a nail salon. It’s a legacy in motion — a platform where culture, education, and creativity merge. My mission is to educate not just clients, but future nail techs — sharing knowledge in sanitation, nail health, design, business, and legal practices.

We’re building something greater than beauty. We’re building the future.
