About Kim

​​

I began my nail career at 19, training in a salon while juggling two jobs. Soon after, I took on the role of managing my family’s salon, where I spent five years honing my craft, leading a team, and gaining the experience that laid the foundation for my own business — seven years later.

What started as a simple goal to bring more creativity into the beauty space quickly evolved. I mastered every nail service I could get my hands on, trained staff, and began teaching students of my own. I now specialize in intricate, hand-painted designs, curating each set to reflect my client’s unique style — always guided by my sharp eye for detail. My clients trust me to bring their vision to life, and I take pride in delivering work that leaves them not only satisfied, but glowing. If they’re happy, I’m happy.

With a constant desire to expand my skills, I later branched into permanent makeup, developing a deep passion for eyebrow tattooing, lip blush, and eyelash extensions.

After a successful and fulfilling career managing my family’s salon in Surrey, BC, life shifted in 2023 when I became pregnant. That moment sparked a new beginning. In January 2025, I moved to Prince Rupert, BC to start my family life and build something of my own.

At just 27, I can honestly say that becoming a mother has been the most transformative experience of my life. It has given me new purpose and has inspired me to grow not only personally, but professionally — in a city I now proudly call home.

This journey has been more than a career. It's been a reflection of my passions, emotions, and commitment to growth. I’m always learning, evolving, and forever grateful for the path that led me here.
