The Wellington Chamber of Commerce Has A
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For Glamorous Nail Spa
Glamorous Nail Spa was recently welcomed as a new member of The Wellington Chamber of Commerce. The business is located at 12794 W. Forest Hill Boulevard #2, Wellington Florida and they formally opened their doors October 2012. The emphasis at this salon is to keep everything sterile and sanitary within the spa which is monitored closely by one of the owners who is a pharmacist.
Thanh and Natalie Vo are the active owners of the salon. They are also husband and wife. Thanh was born in Vietnam. He and his family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when he was nine years old. He went to school in Philadelphia and after graduating high school he went to a pre-graduate (pre-pharmacy) school at Temple University. After two years there, he entered graduate school at Albany College of Pharmacy where he earned a Doctor of Pharmacy Degree.
After graduation, Thanh went to work in Syracuse as a pharmacist. When he went back home to visit Philadelphia he met Natalie who was there on vacation. Natalie lived in Wellington and it didn’t take long for Thanh to go visit her there. They ended up getting engaged and have been married now for two years.
Natalie Vo was born in Vietnam and left there when she was 14 years old to live and study accounting in Seattle, Washington. She then moved to Wellington and stayed with relatives. She enrolled at Palm Beach State College to continue her studies. She also helped out part time at nail salons in order to understand the operations better and to help improve her English language skills. She eventually got her work permit and became a nail tech while still completing accounting school. Thanh and Natalie then took over an existing nail salon and created their new business.
Thanh said, “We had a vision that we wanted to provide all the nail spa services that are available to our clients such as manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing, all the services that we can do in a nail spa. We also wanted to have a place where people feel comfortable. According to the news, a lot of salons are not up to par regarding sanitation and sterilization. Coming from my background being in the health care industry, I like to bring that to the nail salon. All of our equipment goes through Auto Clave. Everything is sterilized for each new client.” Thanh explained that Auto Clave is a heat treatment system used to ensure all instruments they use at the salon are sterile and clean. In addition, pedicure chairs at the spa have disposable plastic liners in all the pedicure stations. “Cleanliness is very important to us.” he added.
Glamorous Nail Spa hires highly trained nail technicians that are licensed and experienced. Thanh noted he uses a high screening process when choosing a technician to work for them.
Glamorous Nail Spa is already active in the community. They offer schools gift certificates to be used as prizes. This is popular at the high schools at prom time. They also offer certificates to younger students since they have kids pedicure chairs and cater to young clients as well.
