Ged
​
Co Founder Ged Cientanni always had big dreams of owning a company, wanting to follow in the footsteps of some of his family members. He knew he had the skill to run a business efficiently, and the passion to build an empire – when big sister Maria offered him the opportunity to partner up, it all clicked into place.
“When Maria offered me the opportunity to start a business, I couldn’t say yes quick enough, I had always aspired to be my own boss one day. I had no experience in the industry, instead bringing my management and business skills to the table, but I soon learnt that the nail industry is exciting, fast moving and filled with brilliantly talented people. It’s an honour to be part of such a fantastic industry”
Maria

Industry Innovator of the year 2015, Co Founder and creative director Maria Cientanni has been in the nail industry for over 20 years, and after years of practicing nails, educating and loving the industry Maria set her sights on creating a nail art brand that would excite clients and nail pros alike.
“I have worked with many products in my time, none of which truly inspired me.
I wanted to create a brand that not only offered premium products of the highest standards, but a brand that would inspire the nail pro to maximize their business opportunities through innovation.
My brother and business partner Ged and myself got to work, and after many sleepless nights, in 2011 Lecenté was born”
