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

Hi Nhi, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Starting my beauty business was driven by a desire for independence, efficiency, and self-accountability. I wanted to control my professional destiny, streamline operations without needing approval from higher-ups, and hold myself accountable for success. My passion for the beauty industry and vision for innovation fueled my determination to fill market gaps with unique cosmetic solutions. This venture not only promised financial independence but also fostered significant personal growth, allowing me to align my work with my values and continuously adapt to the demands of my industry.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What Sets Me Apart:
I believe what truly distinguishes me from others is my commitment to personalized care and innovation. Every client is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs and preferences. My techniques are a fusion of the latest trends and timeless methods, ensuring each client leaves with a look that enhances their natural beauty while reflecting their personal style. Additionally, I continually invest in advanced training and cutting-edge products, ensuring the highest quality results.

Pride and Excitement:
I am most proud of the trust and loyalty my clients have in me. Seeing their confidence boost after a session is incredibly rewarding. I’m also excited about the evolving trends in the beauty industry, which inspire me to keep pushing boundaries and refining my skills. The ability to transform someone’s appearance and, in turn, their self-esteem, is a privilege that I cherish every day.

My Journey:
Reaching where I am today has been a journey of hard work and dedication. It wasn’t easy. The beauty industry is highly competitive, and standing out requires more than just skill – it demands resilience and a passion for continuous learning. Early in my career, I faced challenges such as building a client base and staying updated with the latest techniques. Overcoming these obstacles involved a lot of trial and error, as well as seeking mentorship from industry leaders.

Lessons Learned:
Throughout this journey, I’ve learned several key lessons:

Consistency is Key: Providing consistent quality and service builds trust and loyalty.
Never Stop Learning: The beauty industry is dynamic. Staying updated with new techniques and trends is crucial.
Listen to Your Clients: Understanding and valuing client feedback helps in tailoring services to meet their needs better.
Embrace Challenges: Each challenge is an opportunity to grow and improve.
My Brand and Story:
My goal isn’t just to enhance outer beauty but to empower individuals to feel confident and radiant from within. My brand stands for quality, integrity, and a personalized approach that celebrates the unique beauty of each client.. Every lash and brow transformation I undertake is done with the utmost care and precision, aiming to highlight and enhance your natural beauty. My story is one of passion for the art of beauty, a commitment to professional growth, and dedication to making every client feel their absolute best.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my journey and the ethos of my brand. I look forward to continuing to inspire and be inspired in this wonderful industry.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Since my move to Dallas in January 2024, I’ve been captivated by its lively neighborhoods. I’ve particularly relished leisurely walks in Klyde Warren Park (preferably during quieter times), sampling the diverse array of food trucks, and exploring cultural gems like the Dallas Museum of Art and Nasher Sculpture Center. A serene Sunday morning routine for me involves practicing yoga at Jungle – Studio Fitness, indulging in a nourishing breakfast at Tribal All Day Cafe, and browsing the eclectic offerings of vendors at Bishop Bazaar in the Bishop Arts District. Exploring the art galleries and studios in the Design District, especially the contemporary exhibitions at Dallas Contemporary, is also highly recommended.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely! If I had to dedicate my shoutout to one person who has been instrumental in my journey, it would undoubtedly be my mother. Her unwavering support, boundless love, and relentless encouragement have been the foundation of my success. From the earliest days, she instilled in me the values of perseverance, hard work, and compassion.

My mother has always been my greatest cheerleader, celebrating my triumphs and comforting me through my setbacks. She taught me the importance of resilience and the power of a positive mindset. Her sacrifices and dedication have provided me with the opportunities I have today, and her wisdom continues to guide me.

She deserves all the credit and recognition in my story. Her influence is woven into every achievement and milestone I’ve reached.
