It took Trinity Do five minutes to decide to buy the salon she has now run for 20 years. Her friends thought she was being impulsive, but as Trinity\u2019s Touch gears up for its big anniversary, her confidence then seems justified.<\/p>\n

Do believed in her business from the start because \u201clocation is everything,\u201d and she anticipated the salon\u2019s spot on highly-trafficked Massachusetts Ave between Linnean and Lancaster would draw in customers.<\/p>\n

Do had emigrated from Vietnam when she was 16 and when she bought the store she was 30 and working in accounting at Mellon Bank. When she got together with friends, she would offer to do their hair or makeup. Her friends began to hire her for weddings. \u201cAnd I realized, hmm, this is potential business,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

While still working at the bank, she enrolled in a six-month night course to get an esthetician\u2019s license. During this time, she also met Tu Do and got engaged. As she was finishing her training, Do heard about the nail salon being for sale through a friend of her future sister-in-law. Do bought the salon two months before she got married.<\/p>\n

Do enlisted her husband to manage the employees so that she could focus on what she loved to do: eyebrows. \u201cIt\u2019s changing people\u2019s look and confidence,\u201d Do said. \u201cI am able to create art on people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also proof for me that art can make money,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Several years into owning the salon, Do\u2019s sister developed a thyroid issue that caused her eyebrows to thin, and Do wanted to find a solution. She began learning about semi-permanent makeup, a cosmetic tattooing process that, through a technique called microblading, can help recreate the look of eyebrow hairs.<\/p>\n

Do participated in a program which taught her to tattoo fake eyebrows, eyeliner and nipples. On the last day of her training, she tattooed a breast cancer survivor who had lost her nipples during treatment. When the patient saw Do\u2019s finished work, she told Do through tears: \u201c\u2018you make me feel complete.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do said she takes time to get to know her clients, forming personal relationships with them. \u201cEach [person who comes into] my life is like a book that I read,\u201d Do said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a sort of philosopher and she\u2019s become a friend,\u201d said Anne Cushman, a client of Do\u2019s since the start.<\/p>\n

When Susan Schlossberg, also a patron of Trinity\u2019s Touch since its opening, first met Do 20 years ago, she was impressed: \u201cI\u2019m thinking, this girl has a lot of guts to do everything she\u2019s doing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schlossberg, a survivor of breast cancer, had her eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed by Do during her treatment. When she started to lose hair on her head, Do helped her cut it off. \u201cAnd that made a big difference to me, that she cared enough to say, \u2018okay, we\u2019re gonna have to fix this,\u2019\u201d Schlossberg said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that she does for cancer patients are amazing,\u201d Schlossberg added.<\/p>\n

For their first 14 years, the Dos ran a successful business and had two sons. The salon was originally two storefronts side-by-side, one for nails and one for makeup and eyebrows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2020,\u00a0 Do and her husband sold the nail side, so that her husband could spend more time with their children, who were by then in high school. In 2024, they bought the UPS store one building over from the salon, where Tu Do now works. The salon was a family affair. Do employed three of her sisters at the nail salon and Trinity Do\u2019s older brother, Simon Nguyen, lent her money to buy the salon 20 years ago, and again two years ago to buy the UPS building. Nguyen had faith in his sister: \u201cI trust her because she [is] very smart and very skillful and I think she can be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a very, very wonderful brother,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find a brother like him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do also credits her mother with teaching her business skills when she was young. \u201cWe all learned from my mom,\u201d Nguyen said, explaining that their mother had run a business in communist Vietnam, despite minimal education.<\/p>\n

Do continues to develop her skills. She\u2019s currently taking a content creation class and working to improve her English.\u00a0<\/p>\n
