Founder & CEO
Christinea Najera
My favorite thing to do in my personal life is to host people I love, for any occasion. I love seeing the excitement and joy that comes with making a place feel good and fill it up with good food, good people and, great times. Portland Muse Collective is a space that brings that to life of me. People can come and have a unique experience in a stunningly beautiful place and leave feeling better then when they came. I think joy is in the details of our lives so every occasion is a special occasion.

I grew up in a nail salon with my mom, aunt and cousins. I remember when I was 10yrs old my first design was on my big toes, I was fixated on drawing a mound of sand with a palm tree on top, an ocean, a bird that looked like a wide “m” and a smiling sun; it was how I imagined being in paradise as a kid haha! Being a nail artist brings out my creativity and allows me space to connect with people from all walks of life.
I prefer quality work over quantity. It’s my priority to protect and nourish the health of your natural nail growth without compromising the design or services. With each design I take my time to provide you with the nails you aspire to have. Although it takes time, patience and some self control my favorite part about doing nails is when a client allows me the ability to grow out their natural nails. It’s like watching your house plants thrive and flourish, after spending weeks trying to nurture them.

I pride myself on being meticulous and thorough and am very excited to find solutions for our skins troubles. It’s a journey and I'm excited and happy to be on the skin journey with you, from daily breakouts to diet and hydration. I am dedicated to learning about what works for you and how we can better customize your experience with your skin, from ingrown hairs to extractions and hydration I am ready!
In my free time, you can find me climbing, backpacking, camping, and getting out of the city as much as possible. I love to spend my time out in nature and be able to reconnect with my true form of self without the distractions of technology.
