Today we’d like to introduce you to Linh Nguyen.
Hi Linh, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey started over 27 years ago when I first entered the nail and beauty industry. I came to the United States with nothing but a dream and a strong determination to build a better life for myself and my family. With no shortcuts and plenty of long nights, I worked my way up from the bottom—learning every aspect of the nail business hands-on.
After years of experience and dedication, I opened my first salon, Glo Nail Spa, in Colorado Springs. It was a small space, but I poured my heart into every detail. Thanks to the trust and support of thousands of loyal clients, our business grew rapidly. We eventually expanded to open Glo Nail Spa 2, and today we’ve proudly served over 100,000 customers.
Along the way, I’ve also embraced roles beyond business—I was honored to be crowned Mrs. Business Queen International 2021 and Mrs. Global International Dubai 2023. These titles represent not just personal success but also the spirit of perseverance, leadership, and giving back.
Now, in addition to running successful salons, I invest in real estate and mentor others in the beauty industry. Every day, I wake up grateful to do what I love and to inspire others who are chasing their own dreams.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not a smooth road. Like many immigrants, I faced countless challenges—language barriers, financial struggles, and the pressure of starting from scratch in a new country. I worked long hours, often seven days a week, just to make ends meet.
In the nail industry, building trust takes time. I had to prove myself through consistent quality, patience, and humility. There were times I was underestimated or treated unfairly, but I turned those experiences into motivation.
As a woman entrepreneur, balancing business growth with family responsibilities has also been a challenge. But I believe every struggle helped shape my resilience and taught me to lead with heart and determination. Today, looking back, I’m grateful for every bump in the road—it made the success even more meaningful.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Glo Nail Spa is more than just a nail salon—it’s a community built on beauty, trust, and care. With two locations in Colorado Springs, we’ve proudly served over 100,000 clients through our commitment to high-quality service and a welcoming atmosphere.
We specialize in luxurious nail care services including gel, dip powder, acrylic, and spa pedicures. What makes us stand out is not just our technique but our heart—we create an experience where every guest feels valued and pampered from the moment they walk in.
Our brand is also known for nurturing talent. We welcome technicians from across the country, offering them opportunities to grow in a supportive environment. Many of our staff have followed our journey for years before joining—and we consider them family.
What we’re most proud of is the loyalty of our clients and the culture we’ve built—where quality, kindness, and professionalism come together. Glo Nail Spa isn’t just a place to get your nails done—it’s where beauty meets belonging.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Over the next 5–10 years, I believe the nail and beauty industry will continue evolving toward higher standards in wellness, personalization, and technology. Clients are becoming more educated and selective—they want not only beautiful results but also clean, safe, and relaxing experiences.
We’ll see a stronger demand for non-toxic, eco-friendly products, and more services will be customized to individual lifestyles and needs. Technology will play a larger role too—from online booking to automated customer care and AI-driven marketing.
Another major shift will be in workforce development. There’s growing need for training programs and mentorship to help new technicians succeed. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting younger generations and creating opportunities within our salons.
The future of this industry is bright—especially for those who lead with integrity, innovation, and heart.
