Jenny Nguyen, only 29, is making a name for herself in the beauty industry, charging up to $500 per unique nail art design. Her salon, JennPaintt Nail Lounge in Los Angeles, attracts a diverse clientele, from celebrities to everyday patrons, offering a range of services including manicures and eyelash extensions.
Nguyen specializes in nail art, expertly combining gel paint, polish, gemstones, and stickers to produce stunning visuals like fluffy clouds or bright spring blooms. These designs, lasting two to three weeks, have caught the eyes of famous clients like Paris Hilton and Hailey Bieber and have been featured in ad campaigns for big brands including Apple, Converse, and Chanel.
In 2022, her salon’s earnings exceeded $600,000, and with her growing customer base, she expects to surpass this figure in 2023.
Initially a student at Hofstra University, Nguyen left school to help support her family. Moving from New York to Los Angeles in 2019, she transitioned from teaching to business, driven by her competitive nature and a desire for independence. The pandemic period inspired her to delve into nail art, fueled by the creative influences on Instagram.
