Jessica Burleson

•Owner •Instructor •Master Nail Artist

Jessica’s first love was found in art. She went on to receive a Bachelors in Fine Art with a concentration in Painting from the University of Tennessee. Upon graduation she found herself in need of a creative career and after completing an apprenticeship, she became a licensed Nail Technician. In search of a salon to propel her career, Jessica struggled to find a place that held the same priorities as she, in: exceptional sanitation, quality products, and company moral. Quickly recognizing she was facing an uphill battle she chose not to settle and set out to make her own safe space by opening Topcoat Nail Bar in 2014. During this process she realized that she had a knack for (and new found love) of empowering those around her. This new love inspired her to get an Instructors License so that she may help others learn the in’s and out’s of beautiful nail services as well as the business side of the industry. Her roll as an educator in the industry has continued with monthly classes held at Topcoat Nail Bar as well as local media appearances. All the while staying true to her roots, Jessica never strayed far from creating. You can check out her artistry here or stop by Topcoat and see a few in person.

Taylor Field

Salon Director •Instructor •Master Nail Artist

Dating all the way back to toddler years, Taylor has always had a passion for art and learning (and cats!). As she grew older, she realized even more that her passion for art stems from her need to express herself. What better way to do this on a daily basis than through fashion?!  As a teen, her mom helped her discover her love for nail art with regular "dates" getting their nails done or simply painting them at home!  Now as an adult, she stays true to these passions and strives to constantly better herself in her craft and stay ahead of the game. 
Taylor has a deep love for matte black nails in her favorite nail shape- stiletto (the sharper and witchy-er, the better!). However, she will empower anyone to stand out and get the color and design they REALLY want instead of their usual "safe" mani/pedi routines.

If you know me, you know I am all about the balance between athlete meets boujee queen! I grew up in Southern California and have played sports since I could walk. I played division 1 college softball and loved getting dolled up on game day. Being a female athlete can come with sooo many different stigmas and I worked so hard to break the mold and make my own style! The best way for me to express myself and still be able to ball out was having some killer nails, fun eyeshadow, and the coolest bow. My momma always taught me to make sure your nails, toes and eyebrows are on point at all times. So here I am, pursuing my passion with nails and the love for empowering other women. I am so excited to perfect a new craft and meet new people along the way. I live for a beautiful nail shape, some fun colors, ALL the glitter, and different designs. When I am not obsessing over your nails, I work the receptionist desk at the salon. I take pride in being educated on our products and up to date with the latest nail trends, so ask me all your questions and let's find the best product for you. Come watch me grow at Topcoat and give me a chance to make your nail dreams come true!

I've always wanted to be a nail technician. Nails are an awesome way to express yourselves and they make a great conversation starter.   Becoming a nail technician has always been a goal of mine- it's even on my vision board! Nails are more than just painting, it's an art and skill.  All the drilling and filing is worth it when you get to see the final masterpiece. Its magical!

Nail Artist Apprentice

I've always had a passion for nails. The little details that go into it to make it your own. From wearing them short to long or having different shapes. I've dedicated most of my time to learning nails so now being an apprentice here at Topcoat is teaching me way more then I could ever learn on my own.

Nail Artist Apprentice

I have always loved the arts. I grew up singing and dancing, and majored in musical theater. I come from a family of visual artists, and my love for design and color is endless! My love for doing nails is a bit more recent. After being in a couple musicals that required me to have specific nails, I discovered the art of not only applying nails, but maintaining and caring for nails. I have developed such a quick love for it, and I feel so lucky to be learning from Taylor and the ladies at Topcoat. I love that I get to meet new people, learn about them, and constantly learn from people about how to improve and grow.

I love to learn, meet new people, and to cook. I'm currently studying to be a nail technician but ultimately want to run my own business in the beauty industry.

Kiara Moreno-Garcia

Nail Artist Apprentice

Family and nails. That’s it! Those are my passions in life. I was nine years old when I begged my mom, for what seemed like an eternity, to let me get my nails done. She eventually gave in and I’ve gotten my nails done ever since! I love the entire process and everything about nails! After being a stay home mom for what also seems like an eternity, I’m finally in a place in life where I get to turn my passion into a career! 

Meghan Shamy

Nail Artist Apprentice

I’ve had a passion for nails as long as I can remember! When I was little I would always beg my mom to let me paint my nails!

When I was 8 I got my nails done at a salon for the first time, and I remember feeling so special.  I could not wait to go back, and it became a birthday tradition. 

I got my first gel kit for my 15th birthday and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I love getting to help others feel as strong and beautiful as I do when my nails are done. 

I’m so excited to start my nail journey and for all the cool people I get to meet along the way!
