Our Story

Hi,  I am Lily Hue Duong. 

 
In 2005, I was a staying home mom with 2 little girls, 4 and 2 years old.  We lived in a tiny apartment building because we could afford that only.  It was not comfortable at all.  Later on we borrowed money and bought the house.  Living in the house means living under pressure all the time for me.  
No income for me.  My daughters didn’t cry but they were lazy eaters.  It took them hours to finish their meals. Sitting there with them and under pressure,  I was going crazy. 
I got mad with them easily.  I yelled and  screamed at them.  Every night I lied down and felt so bad for what I did.  It happened the following days again.  I yelled at them “I have to go back to work. I can’t stand staying home with you guys anymore”. 
I went to school.  I went to work.  Then I had to stay home.  I was not used to that.   Staying home made me look miserable and feel miserable.   I didn’t care how I looked.  Messy hair, messy clothes all the time. 
I understood all women go through that.  I love my daughters but I didn’t want to scream at them anymore. 
 I didn’t want to depend on my husband.  I wanted to work.  I wanted to feel confident everywhere I appeared, even in my own home. 
I kept telling myself I had to go back to work.  
I kept thinking about that.   It was always in my heart and in my mind. 
One day my husband brought me to his friend's grand opening nail salon.  Over there I saw women happy to have their hands and feet done.   I got a manicure done with a natural pink color.  
I felt so happy that I asked the tech to put color for daughters too.  We had a good time together then. 
I realized that a moment of relaxation and being pampered make women feel so special.  Women should care and love themselves.  
They need to feel their cup.  They can’t give anything to anyone that they don’t have. 
Since then I kept thinking about being a nail tech so I could work.  Then I could make women feel the moment I felt. 
It is said that whatever you focus on, it  will expand. 
I kept thinking about owning a salon and the chance came. I bought my salon and took a lot of women with me on my journey.
