How Monica Made became Monica Made
From a small-town nail tech to Raleigh's bridge between beauty and podiatry.
It starts with a license — and a leap
Monica becomes a licensed nail technician and immediately launches her first business, MoniMakingManicures, in her hometown.
The medical foundation
After moving to Raleigh, Monica spends over four years working in a podiatrist's office — where precision foot care becomes second nature.
Never gave up
As a single mother of three, Monica steps away to put her kids first — then the world shuts down. On June 15, 2020, she relaunches MoniMakingManicures on her own terms.
The heart wants to expand
Monica enrolls in an esthetics academy and in December 2022 becomes a NC certified esthetician. With artistry, nails, and medical-grade skin care finally under one roof, MoniMakingManicures becomes Monica Made.
An authorized Footlogix distributor
Monica Made now carries the full Footlogix line — the world's first and only Pediceutical® foot care brand, built on Dermal Infusion Technology® that delivers active ingredients where creams can't reach.
I've never thought that I would be able to marry my loves together, but somehow this has become my reality... I never feel like I am working!— Monica Luviano, founder of Monica Made
