Life & Work with Pi Chuu of West Hollywood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pi Chuu.

Hi Pi, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I began my nail journey in 2017 and quickly interested in Gel-X, which streamlined the application process for professionals. This innovation allowed our technicians to work more efficiently, deliver faster service, and build a loyal client base contributing significantly to the growth and success of my business. I had also been searching for an alternative to traditional acrylics for something healthier, more efficient, and modern. That’s when I discovered soft gel extensions Apres, which completely changed the game. This innovation aligned perfectly with my vision and allowed me to offer clients a safer, more effective nail solution.

Business was growing steadily; however, until the unexpected challenges of COVID-19 hit. Like many others, I faced both highs and lows during the pandemic. But through resilience, adaptability, and the support of our team and clients, I pushed through.

At the beginning of 2022, as the industry began to bounce back, I rebranded my very first salon. Alongside two business partners, we launched Lanicure Nail Bar which is a fresh start and a bold new chapter for our brand.
In July 2025, I launched my second salon Base Nail Bar.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has been mix of smooth and rough along my journey. I would say Covid-19 was a most challenging when everything was shut down including cosmetic services.
