Meet Sydney Manis: The Creative Force Behind Bad Apple Nails, Now at Fresh Rayne Salon

There’s something really special about watching someone turn a dream into a reality—and we’re so excited to witness that happening right here at Fresh Rayne Salon.

Please help us give a huge, heartfelt welcome to Sydney Manis, the brilliant nail artist and business owner behind Bad Apple Nails, LLC! Sydney is officially open for business in her very own private nail suite inside our salon at 1310 Lake Avenue in Ashtabula, and trust us when we say… you’re going to want to be in her chair.

Sydney’s journey is rooted in passion, hard work, and a whole lot of vision. She started Bad Apple Nails as a teen, creating and selling custom press-on kits while balancing school and her growing love for nail art. From the very beginning, she said she wanted to take Bad Apple “beyond the press-on”—and now, she’s doing exactly that by launching her very own nail business inside Fresh Rayne.

Starting Friday, June 6th, Sydney will be offering a full menu of nail services, including custom sets, intricate designs, press-ons, and more. Every set she creates is a tiny masterpiece, with attention to detail and creativity that speaks for itself. But it’s not just about the nails—Sydney is building a space where her clients can feel inspired, confident, and totally themselves.

She’s not just renting space—she’s building a brand, a vibe, and a business she can truly call her own. We’re honored she chose to grow that vision here with us.

Want to stay connected? Sydney’s Instagram is currently transitioning into her official Bad Apple Nails brand—so make sure to check the tag on our photo of her to give her a follow and stay up to date with her latest work, booking info, and details for her upcoming grand opening celebration!

Sydney, we’re so proud of you. Your creativity, ambition, and heart are already making waves at Fresh Rayne, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you.
