In 1969, Jessica opened the world’s first nails-only salon on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Her salon quickly became a hotspot for Hollywood royalty, including icons like Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, and Nancy Reagan. Her philosophy that “all nails are not alike” laid the foundation for what would become Jessica Cosmetics—an internationally distributed nail care line rooted in natural nail health and tailored treatments.

Jessica Cosmetics introduced the first customizable system of base coats designed for different nail types, including dry, brittle, damaged, or normal. This groundbreaking approach shifted the focus from covering up nails to treating them. The brand’s Gentle Conditioning base coat, Brilliance high-gloss top coat, and award-winning Phenom polish line remain staples in salons and spas around the world.

Jessica’s dedication to education was equally influential. She trained thousands of professionals globally and brought science-backed nail care to the forefront of the industry. She elevated the status of nail care worldwide and Jessica Cosmetics is currently available in over 60 countries.
