Meet Emely – Nail Technician at J.Anthony Uptown Salon With over 25 years of experience, Emely (born Emelia Morales) brings unmatched creativity, precision, and passion to the J.Anthony Uptown Salon team. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Emely began her journey in the nail industry in 1994, shortly after immigrating to New York City. It was at Annie’s Nails in Queens where her career began—and where clients, unfamiliar with her given name, affectionately renamed her “Emely.” The name stuck, and so did her love for nails. Since then, Emely has built a remarkable career, including work with renowned brands such as Calvin Klein and Vogue magazine, bringing her talents to high-profile editorial photo shoots. Today, she specializes in nail restoration and all types of nail enhancements, using only top-of-the-line, FDA-approved products to ensure quality and safety. Known for her meticulous cleanliness, professionalism, and warm personality, Emely is committed to providing the highest standard of service to every client. She takes pride in following all state board guidelines and delivering consistent, personalized results. From the concrete jungle of New York to the sunny streets of Los Angeles, Emely is proud to call J.Anthony Uptown Salon her home—and she can’t wait to welcome you to her chair.
