The Lavish Team joyfully introduces our newest team member, T.J. Nguyen. TJ is our New Nail Technician as well as an Educator for the Nail Company Young Nails. The work she has shown has definitely been Lavish to say the least. The Lavish team has had a blast getting to know TJ these past few weeks. We asked her a few questions to tell us a little about herself so you can get to know her too, this is what she had to say.....
- Where did you grow up? I grew up in Riverside my whole life. I went to North High School and UC Riverside.
- What do enjoy doing for fun outside of work? I love to go to the movies or watch them at home with my husband and 2 dogs. I love to shop, decorate my house or try new nails designs. I think and live NAILS non-stop!
- What is your favorite nail design? I haven’t yet decided which ones have been my personal favorite. I have fun creating them! My joy is seeing my clients leave happy.
- What has been the most outrageous request? A client wanted me to do 3-D sushi on her nails. I didn’t get to do them because she was a no show which was a bummer because that was going to be challenging, but I was willing to take it on.
- How did you start in the Industry? Getting into the nail industry was actually a fluke: I graduated college to find out everyone was losing their jobs so my mom told me to go to school to get my nail license for nails to keep me busy. I ended up really loving it and getting to create all these sorts of neat designs. Thanks Mom!
- What brought you here to Lavish? I actually relied on Yelp to find local salons that can offer the right kind of atmosphere that I knew I can fit it. I came across Lavish as a place I can see myself working at. After a few emails back and forth with Samantha, here I am! I really loved the fact that Lavish was very adamant about on-going education because being an educator you have to always learn the new techniques and be aware of new trends.
- What is the most enjoyable part of your job? Besides all the laughing, singing, and dancing that goes on in the salon, and besides getting to do pretty nails all day, I actually get to educate fellow nail techs in the Industry with Young nails. I get to encourage and show other techs that it doesn’t take much to be successful in the salon and in their career, but to love what you do. It’s my passion.
- What inspires you to keep doing nails? The Clients!!!! Knowing that they're going to want something new the next appointment. I try to give them more than what they expect every time. It makes my day knowing that a client wants to go out and flaunt their nails.
- What is the best nail product that you recommend for your clients? Young Nails Rose Oil. I use it everyday. It smells AMAZING just like roses and it does wonders on your hands. Use it on a daily basis to promote healthy nail growth.
Below are her most recent designs!!! We can’t wait to see her grow as a Young Nail Educator and with us here at Lavish!!!! To see her other designs and new techniques, below is a link to our Lavish fan page on Facebook, like us to stay updated!
