Anchored to You
Luxury Custom Press-On Nails made by Cheryl Forsyth
Bonjour, je m'appelle Cheryl !​
Je suis une cosmétologue agréée et professionnelle basée près de Burlington, dans le Vermont. Je suis né et j'ai grandi dans la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Je suis épouse et maman de deux filles (trois si l'on compte mon Mau égyptien). Depuis que je suis petite, je peignais toujours les ongles de ma baby-sitter et je m'entraînais à coiffer les cheveux de ma cousine. Plus je vieillissais, j'étais constamment la référence en matière de coiffure, d'ongles et de maquillage. Ma tante m'a suggéré d'aller à l'école de cosmétologie et j'ai découvert ce que je voulais faire pour le reste de ma vie. La beauté a toujours été un moyen de s'exprimer et je suis fier d'aider mes clients à mettre en valeur leur beauté naturelle, à s'exprimer et à avoir confiance en eux.

My Experience
Starting out in 1989, I developed my talents at the Continental Academie Hair of Design, Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics, and the L'Oreal Professional Academy Education NY . I quickly excelled in each institute and was consistently at the top of my classes. I was also fortunate to study under Frederic Fekkai, a French stylist that is known for working with celebrities.
​
After graduating from my first phase of institutes, I continued my education by joining a salon and beginning my official, licensed career. I began my journey at Studio 6 Salon & Spa where I was able to keep up with all of the current trends and techniques. I had a clientele retention rate of 95% all while working at Studio 6 and managing the spa area. After about 4 years, I transitioned into Cassandra the Appearance Domain where I began educating other apprentices and continued to serve my clients. 2 years later, I decided it was time that I start up my own business and from 1996 to 2020, I was solely focused on hair, nails, and makeup.
​
Obviously, the beginning of covid put a damper on most businesses. As nails and hair were not considered essential, I had to figure out another way to occupy my time. I began to improve upon my nail designs, using press on nails to continue working on my artwork and creative mind. I soon realized that if people can't come to me to get their nails done, I could get the nails to them. Thus, Anchored to You was founded.
What Makes Our Press-Ons Different
The products that I use are professional quality. The press-on nails are made up of a soft gel, not plastic or acrylic. The soft gel tips are thin and flexible so they are crack resistant whereas other materials tend to be less structurally sound. They are made with a reinforced free edge, a strong apex, and thin side walls for the perfect balance between beautiful, natural, and strong enhancements.
​
The materials that adhere the press-on nails to the natural nails are double-side glue tabs versus a double-side pre-adhered sticky tape. You can also use the adhesive provided. This helps keep your press-on nails adhered to the natural nails for a longer period of time.
​
Unlike the press-on nails you buy at a drugstore or the dollar store, these nails are created to be long lasting and completely custom down to the size and measurements. They are made specific to each client.
​
A majority of my products are by Luxa Polish - they have completely changed the game for me. The quality of their products are completely off the charts and affordable. They offer prep + finish coats, polishes, art, tools and a Luxa loyalty program for everyone - professionals can submit their license to get access to better perks! Luxa's top coat is stain, scratch and chip resistant, which is why I fell in love with the product initially. To shop Luxa products click here and get 15% off!
Our Mission
At Anchored To You, we believe that nails are more than just beauty. They're self expression, self care, and sometimes even a little rebellion. That's why we create custom, reusable press-ons that are made to move with you.
We are also proud to give beauty a deeper meaning through our campaigns, like Nails That Care, supporting causes we believe in - starting with International Rescue Committee , a nonprofit focused on helping families facing unexpected hardship — from separation to displacement — find the support, shelter, and stability they deserve. With a percentage of each nail set going to the fundraiser, within two weeks we were able to raise $375 in donations.
These fundraisers are just the beginning of our commitment to care through creativity.
Every set of nails we make is a small act of care for our customers, our community, and anyone who deserves to feel seen, confident, and celebrated.
We believe in kindness, care, and looking good while doing it - because beauty should always uplift, include, and empower.
