YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT! Throughout our entire lifetime, we are always very eager to get what we want. It started from when we were very young in a less controllable form, until we are grown ups, and handle this in an adult, professional way. And basically there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I mean, what if YOU don’t know what you want‌ Then how can WE know what you want?

Therefore we spend a large part of our days continuously tracking down what our existing and future clients exactly want from us. And we discovered that just simply supplying you all, with brands that are leading the Global Industry, is just not good enough.

After all, this is standard for us, that is what we do! From our experience of dealing with professionals on a daily basis, we can tell you exactly what WE want. And coincidence is that this is exactly what YOU want! Could the world be more perfect?

Besides offering these leading brands we want to create added value during the whole process of dealing with us. Intensively training our employees to create an excellent customer service, improving our supply chain to make sure orders are processed in time and effective methods of communicating (a great example is this completely renewed Magazine), are just a few actions we implement to grow towards exactly what you want!

And to stay at the forefront of the industry and keep on evolving ourselves towards your ideal supplier, we welcome all feedback about what it is you are exactly looking for.

You can contact our customer service department to do so at any time. Because if you tell us what you want, we will make sure you get it!

Enjoy reading our second issue of 2012 and discover all our amazing new collections, products and the multiple award-winning brand VOYA we will launch on the Thai market very soon!

Sexy Biscuit Nails & Waxing Lounge

You opened your salon beginning last year, how is business going for you now?

Responds are very well. Our customer base has increased from members and walk-ins; maybe because of our theme design is different from other nail salons. Also we have and excellent and friendly service.

How would you say Sexy Biscuit is different from other salons in your area?

Sexy Biscuit is a new style of nail salon because we combine beauty with fun.

We created a new place for the girls to hang out. We are focusing on friendly service and high quality products selected by myself.

How did you experience working with the Nail Techniques Team last year?

First of all Sexy Biscuit would like to say thank you to Nail Techniques for recommending the most high quality products, at very good price and because of offering something new to impress every time again. Their service is very attentive and friendly.

All this makes our customers believe in our products.

Any tips for other starting nail salons?

The nail salon business is very challenging, fun and exciting, but it requires a lot

in your project and believe that you can make it, you can.

What are your plans for the future? Any expansion plans?

For the time being I still need to focus on the salon in Central Rama 9 to optimize I guarantee that there will follow two to four more branches.
