A family of services
Since her arrival in America from Viet Nam in 1996, Yen (Julie) Du has been on the beauty scene. She opened Le’s Nails in Tigard about a year after her arrival. She owned and operated that business for about four years, honing her skills. Eventually she was able to buy a house in Portland.

Tigard was quite a commute to her new home in Portland, so she sought the assistance of her cousin Ha (Dawn) Ngo. Ngo owns Dawn’s beauty salon on N.E. Halsey Street, and was happy to assist her cousin. They were able to obtain the site next door, and Julie opened Sexy Nails in August of 2002.

Sexy Nails offers a wide variety of services from a manicure or pedicure to facials and eyebrow waxing. They offer the full range of nail services, including French tips, acrylic nails, airbrushing and much, much more. A paraffin treatment for your feet which softens and revitalizes the skin of the foot, especially the heel, is another available service. This month, they are even giving a free pedicure with the treatment, to leave your feet looking and feeling their best.

This is truly a family-run operation. Julie hired her cousin Tammy Truong to help provide some of these services. Julie is also a hair stylist and works occasionally next door at Dawn’s Beauty Salon. Dawn is multi-talented, using her skills as a nail technician in Sexy Nails. As a special service to Mid-county MEMO readers, Sexy Nails is offering several special deals. Mention this article to receive $5 off a purchase of $20 or more. Free airbrushed designs on your nails will be offered with the purchase of a manicure. Take advantage of these great specials today!

Sexy Nails is located at 11501 N.E. Halsey St. and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays. For more information or to make an appointment, please call Sexy Nails at 503-254-4125

Yen “Julie” Du immigrated to America from Vietnam in 1996. Through hard work, single-mindedness and with her family’s help, Du has realized the American dream of home and business ownership.
