We had the good fortune of connecting with Quynh Tran and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Quynh, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
I’ve always believed that true beauty goes beyond appearances; it’s about helping people feel confident and be the best version of themselves. When I opened my nail and lash salon in Summerville, my goal was to create a welcoming haven where our customers not only look great but also feel fantastic.

What sets us apart is the experience we offer. Our salon provides a serene environment, and we take the time to understand our customers’ unique needs. It’s not just a transaction; it’s about creating an atmosphere where every visit is a delight. We’ve introduced organic and luxurious options to make our customers feel truly valued.

Our commitment to quality over quantity is something I’m proud of. We want our clients to leave feeling pampered, not rushed. This approach has been well-received in Summerville, and it’s contributing to a shift in values within the community, where quality matters more than ever.

Moreover, I believe in inspiring others to follow their passions. As a business owner, I hope my journey encourages young artists and aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue what they love. It’s about showing them that they can make their dreams a reality.

In essence, our salon isn’t just about nails and lashes; it’s about making our community more confident, value-driven, and inspired.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve had a lifelong passion for art, and when I embarked on my career in the lash and brow industry, it was a natural extension of that creative drive. What excites me most about my work is the transformation it brings to my clients. Seeing the happiness and newfound confidence on their faces is incredibly rewarding.

My professional journey wasn’t always a smooth one. Discovering my unique artistic style took time and self-discovery. After some experimentation, I realized that my true calling lies in enhancing natural beauty. I firmly believe that beauty isn’t about a one-size-fits-all approach but rather in accentuating what makes each individual unique. This philosophy not only defines my artistic style but also forms the core of how I run my business.

The challenges I faced along the way were valuable lessons. They taught me resilience, the importance of constant learning, and the significance of adaptability in a fast-paced industry. Perseverance was key in overcoming obstacles, and I continuously strive to improve and evolve in my craft.

In essence, what I want the world to know about me and my brand is that we’re dedicated to celebrating and enhancing natural beauty. Our work is a testament to the power of embracing individuality and making people feel their best by emphasizing their uniqueness. It’s not just about lashes and brows; it’s about self-confidence, empowerment, and bringing out the inner beauty in every client.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would love to take my friends to Downtown Charleston for a day tour. First we can walk around King Street and visit the market for local goods. Then, we can have some seafood at 167 Raw Oyster Bar, some dessert at Carmela and take a water taxi for fun. We can make a quick trip to Middleton plantation after that or we can drive a little farther to see Angel Oak tree, which is think is a must see. I would recommend my friends to stay at beach rentals for the perfect sunset views. My personal favorites would be Edisto or Isle of Palm.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank my loyal customers who have encouraged me to open my salon and believe in me.
