My name is Thi Tran-Kelley, and I'm the proud owner of Bellerose Salon. Born in Vietnam, I immigrated to the United States at sixteen, eager to embrace a new life filled with endless possibilities. It was during this transformative period that my uncle's call ignited a spark within me. He was seeking assistance for his burgeoning salon business in New York, and I eagerly accepted the opportunity.
Four months of invaluable experience later, I returned to San Jose, determined to carve my own path in the beauty industry. The year 2005 marked a pivotal moment in my journey as I dared to dream of opening my own salon. Despite the trepidation that accompanied such a bold endeavor at a young age, I knew it was the right decision.
As a small business owner, my greatest joy lies in empowering my clients to feel fabulous, boost their confidence, and nurture their self-esteem. For the past seventeen years, I've been living my dream, nurturing and growing the business I started. What began as a small nail salon has evolved into a thriving establishment, thanks to my unwavering commitment to education and continuous improvement. At Bellerose Salon, we're more than just a beauty destination; we're a sanctuary where individuals can rediscover their inner beauty and radiate confidence.
"This was my first taste of what would eventually become my passion."
