COURTNEY YEAGER
Courtney Yeager has always been driven by a passion for creating elevated experiences that blend intention, design, and purpose. As an entrepreneur and wellness visionary, she has focused her career on building brands that empower both clients and business owners alike.
With The Shade, Courtney saw an opportunity to reimagine the nail studio experience—moving beyond the traditional salon model to create a space rooted in thoughtful care, consistency, and modern design. She recognized that today’s clients are seeking more than a service; they want an experience that feels refined, personal, and intentional.
Building on her experience developing successful wellness brands, Courtney created The Shade as a scalable concept grounded in strong systems, elevated aesthetics, and long-term growth. Today, The Shade continues to expand, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to be part of a modern, purpose-driven approach to nail care.
