Our story

our story

You have to chase dreams and you have to seize the opportunities in life’. Keeping this philosophy in mind, Kim Lien Nguyen has launched no fewer than seven nail studios in Amsterdam over the past fifteen years. A self-made woman who wants to make other women shine.

LOW-THRESHOLD AND ACCESSIBLE

AFFORDABLE BEAUTY

PERSONAL AND NO-NONSENSE APPROACH

Kimmylien, originally from Vietnam, came to the Netherlands with her parents as a young girl. She opened her first nail studio in the capital in 2002 at the age of 21 – after training in manicure and pedicure with family in the United States. In the Kinkerstraat to be precise. It was the first step in becoming the largest nail studio in Amsterdam.

Today Universal Nails also has salons in the Linnaeusstraat in East (since 2008), in the Maasstraat in South (since 2011), and on the Tussen Meer in Osdorp (since 2013). Each nail studio has its own character, but is run with the same vision: accessible, affordable and no-nonsense.
