Business owner Tu Le knows how to relax. It’s her specialty.
Having serviced the Vestavia community for more than 13 years, Tu and her professional team offer affordable spa services including pedicures, manicures, massage, facials, HydraFacials, waxing and group events. Pampering others has been her goal since college.
“I was going to college, and someone offered me a part-time job to make extra money,” Tu said. “I slowly learned and enjoyed doing it so much.”
Earning a master’s degree, she pursed building an insurance agency, which didn’t go as planned. Joining her husband, who ran Vestavia Nails & VIP Nails, proved to be the perfect move because Tu loves working and talking with clients.
“It isn’t just nails or toes we are doing,” Tu said. “We are making women/men feel beautiful and pamper them … Clients start becoming family!”
Tu envisions the salon becoming the go-to nail salon for Vestavia and metro Birmingham: the get-together place, the relaxing oasis, the friendly place that feels like home.
She also enjoys lifting spirits of clients who are ill or in rehabilitation and requiring visits, and helping schools and charitable organizations raise funds.
As for the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tu is grateful for the outpouring love and support from her clients.
Thanks to the nail salon’s large 3,500 square-foot salon, her team has continued to successfully distance everyone while also promoting safety with table shields, hand sanitizer and masks for employees.
