Meet Jenna You | Owner & Esthetician

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jenna You and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jenna, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The owner, Jenna You, is well-invested in beauty industry since 2022 with the experience of owning a nail salon in Uptown, NY, for more than 8 years and started her skin care career in Florida. ​
In 2023, joining force with her business partner Yuki You, Besties Nail & Facial is then established.

We are skilled in almost every beauty service that is popular in Asia— Microblaing (eyebrows, eyeliners, lip blushing), Eye Extension, Japanese Nail Art and Extensions, Korean Facial Treatment, Pedicure and Foot Massage.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Besties Nail & Facial is the aftermath of combining what used to be Flora Beauty Salon and Besties Nail Salon together as one.

We specializes in most of the beauty services you could think of, including Manicure, Pedicure, Facial Treatments, Hair Removal, Microblading, Lip Blushing, and Lash Extensions.

What set us apart from other beauty salons is that we focus and promote East Asian aesthetics from head to toes.

Because we believe our clients deserve only the very best for manicure and pedicure. The Japanese gel polish we use are highly pigmented with specialized formula for nail strength and cohesion. No more chipped polishes or brittle nails!

We use semi-hard gels that give a natural, smooth-looking, and long lasting finish after curing with a UV light lamp. The nails are created for any lifestyle and needs that last typically 3-4 weeks.

Semi-permentant makeup (microblading) is also another popular service of ours. We are one of the very few salon that provides full services for eyebrows, eyeliners, and lips.

We started our business not too longer ago on March 1. Chinatown’s beauty industry is notoriously competitive and it took a while for us to relocated and settle down with this new location right above Fufu Cafe.

For us, the most important lesson along this journey is to never give up. The business tends to be slow in the weekdays in Bellaire. We take the time to focus on customer service and further polish our skill sets.

We want to be acknowledged for our customer service and providing unique beauty services with affordability and accessibility.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We love to show friends around Bellaire Asiatown for diverse food scene and excellent beauty treatment options.

To name a few of our favorites aside from Besties Nail & Facial (of course!), we love Per se Salon for excellent hair styling, MDK Noodles for kimchi and any dumplings (yum!), and YumCha for tea drinks and boba!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We would like to send thank to my cousin Yuki who has been there for me from the very beginning. She is also an outstanding esthetician and mentor of our team, specializing in facial treatment, lip blushing, and lash extension.
