Booksy, a leader in booking and business technology for the beauty industry, is delighted to announce that award-winning celebrity nail artist and industry educator Jenny Bui (@nailson7th) has joined as Brand Ambassador.
Nicknamed the “Queen of Bling,” this Bronx-based nail artist is best known for her signature style—applying Swarovski crystals to stiletto-shaped nails to create star-studded sensations. Two years ago, Bui won Nail Artist Influencer of the Year at the American Influencer Awards. Since then, her designs have been featured in Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Essence.
Jenny has been in the industry for over 25 years and solely built her nail salon, Jenny’s Secret, from the ground up. Her background is a true rags to riches story, from escaping the Cambodian genocide to suffering the harsh reality of racism. Despite the hardships, she forged ahead and built a significant clientele and an Instagram following of 1.3 million. Now, you can see her innovative nail designs on chart topping music artists like Cardi B and other A-list celebrity clients.
When Jenny isn’t designing incredible nails, she works as an educator, dedicating more time to sharing industry secrets and helping others learn some of the fundamental keys to her success. Just a few months ago, Jenny co-hosted Stay Polished, a virtual networking event created by Booksy and Nailcon. As a Booksy Ambassador, Jenny promoted nail boking software throughout the day. She also shared nail design techniques, discussed business strategies, and freely encouraged networking between her colleagues.
Jenny continues to promote the business advantages of using Booksy as her nail booking and business software. In particular, she describes the scheduling features for business owners, staffers, and independent contractors. Her staffers schedule appointments 24/7 without any hassle, which has been a dream come true.
“We are excited and honored to have Jenny Bui as our newest Ambassador. She is so much more than an incredible nail artist. She is a dynamic businesswoman and a force in the industry that we are delighted to welcome to the Booksy family,” commented Dee Hadley, Head of Marketing, Booksy US.
