The ribbon cutting for Otani Nails scheduled for today, March 16, 2026 has been postponed due to inclement weather. City of Columbia staff and Otani Nails will work together for a new date to celebrate this business in our community.
Otani Nails was created in 2007 and serves as a haven for self-care, providing services such as waterless pedicures, ombre color matching, permanent diamond placement and diabetic pedicures for senior citizens.
Yvette Hickson has been a nail technician for 30 years and spent the majority of that time as an independent nail technician. In addition to providing services, Ms. Hickson coaches small business owners and entrepreneurs on customer service, time management, branding, and marketing. Her passion is empowering small businesses in the beauty industry because she believes service changes lives, one provider at a time.
