Nails Hub Bundaberg opened last month with owner Meiqi Shao excited to open her own salon and continue working in the industry she loves.
After moving to the region eight years ago, Meiqi said she had always found herself working in the nail industry.
She said the journey had not always been easy, but she enjoyed seeing the delight on people’s faces after their nails were finished.
“I love making people’s nails look beautiful and see the smile on their faces, I just feel so proud of what I have achieved that day,” Meiqi said.
Meiqi said the support from her family gave her the courage to open the nail salon.
“I never thought I could have my own salon as it takes a lot of courage and needs lot of support,” she said.
“Luckily I have both, my three-month-old baby girl gave me the courage and confidence, alongside my husband and family.”
Meiqi said a unique feature of her shop was that she provided late night bookings and had a strong focus on customer wait times.
“If you’d like to come in after work, I take bookings afterhours until 8 pm,” she said.
“Booking(s) preferred if possible, walk-ins are welcome but depends on the day flow.
“I focus on customer service and tidiness in the shop because I think these two are the most important to (help) keep the customer coming back to me.”
Nails Hub is located at 16 Maryborough Street, Shop 40, Hinkler Central.
