Makeup by Ileana

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quieter lately… if it’s taking me longer than usual to answer messages… or if I seem a little distant, I hope you’ll understand.

My heart is in Venezuela.

I was born there. No matter how many years pass, that’s home. Watching everything unfold from so far away has been one of the hardest things I’ve experienced. Every video I scroll past, every family searching for loved ones, every child, every life changed forever… it weighs on me in a way I can’t really put into words.

The world keeps moving, and so do I. I still come to work, I still smile, I still pour my heart into every client who sits in my chair. But if I’m honest… a part of me is somewhere else right now.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your understanding if I’m not quite myself these days. It means more than you know.

Please keep Venezuela and everyone affected in your thoughts and prayers. 🇻🇪❤️

Together, we can make a difference. 🇻🇪🤍

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who has already stopped by with a donation. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion have been incredibly moving.

As a proud Venezuelan-owned business, this cause is deeply personal to me. Watching the devastation caused by the recent earthquakes has been heartbreaking, and I wanted to find a way for our community to help.
ileana.nails & .ile will continue collecting donations on a weekly basis until further notice. Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.

A very special thank you to , who has so generously volunteered her time to coordinate and pick up the donations from our salon. I’m truly grateful to be working alongside someone with such a giving heart and willingness to help others. Your kindness and generosity mean more than you know, and together we hope to bring a little comfort and relief to those who need it most.

If you’re coming in for an appointment and were planning on leaving me a tip, please know that if you’d rather bring an item to donate instead, I would be incredibly grateful. This is simply something I wanted to offer personally and is never expected in any way. It is only something I wanted to do from my heart. Please note that this applies only to me and not to the other amazing professionals in our salon.

“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy.” 🩵✨

Thank you for showing up every day with love, patience, strength, and unwavering support. Thank you for being the kind of father every child deserves and for leading with kindness, integrity, and love.

A special thank you for the role you’ve played in Miranda’s life. While you may not share her blood, you’ve shared your heart, your wisdom, your time, and your unconditional love. You stepped into her life and became the man she turns to for guidance, comfort, and support—the man she proudly calls Daddy. That is a gift I will never be able to fully put into words.

Through every season of life, every challenge, every success, and every setback, you’ve never stopped choosing us. You’ve never stopped loving us, supporting us, and fighting for our family.

Thank you for being the man you are, the father you are, and the partner you are.

We love you more than you’ll ever know. Happy Father’s Day. ❤️🥹✨

Also, a huge thank you to for making our Father’s Day celebration extra special. From the beach setup and cozy chairs to the s’mores kit and all the thoughtful details, everything was taken care of so we could simply enjoy the moment as a family. It was stress-free, beautiful, and such a fun way to celebrate my husband. We can’t recommend them enough! ❤️🏖️
