Rainbow Nails

Hi, I’m Vanessa,

Being a modern day working mum, I know what it’s like at the end of the working week, sometimes the weekend can seem like another two work days for me, taking care of my home, my family, there is very little time left for rest.  But I wouldn’t trade my world for anything, in fact, I often feel I am very lucky to have all the things I have.

Of course, it was a long journey to get to where I am today, some highs, some lows, but overall journey to where I am today has been a wonderful one.

My name is Vanessa, I am the founder and General Manager of Rainbow Nails, and I live in Melbourne with my husband and two teenage daughters.

We are a normal busy family, and I can honestly say my children’s lives are very different from my upbringing in Vietnam many years ago.

I moved to Australia as a young girl from Vietnam in 1989 and I went to a Glen Waverley school to finish my education.

After graduation I started out working with my sister in a restaurant but soon realised that kind of work was not for me, so I secured a Manager’s position in a nail salon 1999 in Southland, but in 2000 I couldn’t resist the opportunity to start my own nail salon in Greensborough.  That Greensborough Nail Salon is still going strong today.

The Greensborough shop was small and at first it was just me and one other girl doing nails.  Now the store has over five regular staff members.

Things were different when I started out in the nail business 13 years ago, for example I was the first nail salon in Greensborough when we started out back then, now there are six!

Things in Greensborough went from strength to strength, and when another opportunity presented itself in 2008, I jumped at the opportunity to open another nail salon in the Westfield Shopping Centre, where I am still based today.  This salon now has over 14 staff, and two Managers.

Not too much later, in late 2009, I secured another great shop in South Yarra, which still continues to grow with seven staff members working there now as well.

As the General Manager of all three stores my work varies from HR, stock management and sales and marketing.  I love learning about new developments in the beauty industry, and keep up to date with trade fairs and the like.  I work hard to ensure our nail shops have the best nail polish ranges available in Australia.

To be honest I remember dreaming of 0wning my own beauty shop when I was a little girl, and to this day I still can’t believe I am living my dream.

But it has not all been a bed of roses, in fact nothing has been given to me, I have had to work to achieve my success, and I know many other business women have had similar journeys with their success, but the rewards of owning three nail and beauty salons is too many to list here.

I hope to meet you if you come and visit one of my salons,

Vanessa
Founder & General Manager

Reviews

“This is where I go for a great shellac pedicure. I enjoy relaxing in the massage chair while they always do a thorough job, including blading any callouses, pumicing, exfoliating feet & lower legs then massaging with hot stones followed by a hot towel. To top that off, when you first visit you can pay a little extra for you own set of pedi tools. You give them your number on any return visits so you’re not sharing tools with any other strangers. I’ve had pedis at other places but none have been as thorough as Rainbow.”

“i usually love going to get my nails done at rainbow nails but today they burnt my hands and they were talking more than they were paying attention to my nails and now my nails are burning so disappointed :(”

“Have been a Rainbow Nails fan for years (I remember when they were starting out in Greensborough!): love the friendly service and the staff always do an amazing job. I don’t do false nails any more, but when I did, they were fantastic and lasted really well, and their pedicures are absolute heaven. Furthermore, everything comes at an amazing price for such good service. My absolute favourite salon which I have recommended to a heap of people.”

“Best nails in the northern suburbs! Excellent service”

“Horrendous. Had been here before thought it was adequate and decided I’d give it another crack. Staff were blatantly insulting customers in their native tongue assuming that only they could understand each other. Little did they know I also can speak Vietnamese and understood them perfectly. Their workmanship may be good but their social etiquette is rubbish.”
