The Story Behind Nails by Mya Lily.
Every Business Starts Somewhere.
For Nails By Mya Lily, it started with one birthday nail appointment.
In October 2023, Mya was 13 years old and already a huge beauty fanatic. She had been asking her mum to let her get acrylic nails done, and on October 14 — her birthday — they finally went together to get their nails done.
For Mya, the experience wasn't just about walking out with a new set. She watched the entire process.
She paid attention to how the nails were created, the different steps involved and the small details that made the finished set look the way it did. That appointment sparked something.
The following week, Mya's mum came home with a basket of second-hand nail supplies. Inside were things including SNS Powder, a nail drill, and an LED lamp.
It wasn't a professional salon setup. It was simply enough to start learning and that's exactly what Mya did.
Mya started with her own nails. Then she moved on to her mum's. Eventually, friends and classmates became some of her earliest clients. Every set gave her another opportunity to practise, experiment and improve.
There were new techniques to learn, different nail shapes to try and different designs to figure out. Over time, the skills she had been developing started to show. What had started as curiosity became a genuine passion.
As Mya's confidence and skills grew, so did the idea of turning her passion into something bigger, and that became Nails By Mya Lily.
The business allows Mya to combine creativity with something she genuinely enjoys while meeting and working with people in her local community. Today, she provides personalised nail services from her home-based business in Mernda, Melbourne.
Even though she's based in one of melbourne's fasting growing suburbs outer-northern suburbs, her clients are from all around the area. From Mernda itself, Doreen, Epping, Wollert, Plently Valley, South Morang, Mill Park and many more. She's built a strong and loyal customer base over the years.
Mya specialises mostly in Gel-X and Acrylic, while also offering SNS, Builder Gel, manicures, pedicures, nail designs and handmade press-on nails.
One of the things Mya enjoys most about nails is that there isn't one style that everyone has to follow. Every client can have something different. A simple set, a detailed design, a bold look, something inspired by a trend, or something completely original.
For Mya, Nails By Mya Lily is about creating an experience where clients can enjoy themselves and leave feeling happy with their nails. Being a home-based business also means creating a more personal environment where Mya can get to know her clients and understand what they like. Every appointment is another chance to create something new, learn something new and continue growing.
Nails By Mya Lily is still growing. From that first appointment in October 2023 to creating nails for clients today, the journey has already come a long way. And there's still plenty more to learn, create and explore. Mya hopes to continue expanding her clientele, improving her skills and helping more people find a nail style that makes them feel like themselves.
Thankyou for being part of the journey
