Mimi Trinh is a renowned Vietnamese businesswoman who has conquered the international beauty industry and serves as an example of inspiration for her success.
In the exciting and competitive world of beauty, it is difficult to discover a name that the entire global industry would admire. But for Mimi Trinh, a Vietnamese female CEO living and working in the United States, the journey to conquer the beauty industry is not only a story of personal success, but also an inspiring story of perseverance, courage to overcome all challenges, and foregoing the safe path to pursue her passion.
The Journey from the American Dream to the resolve to pursue the beauty industry
At the age of 17, Mimi Trinh arrived in the United States as a young lady full of hope and aspiration. She rapidly found that becoming respected and successful in the land of the stars and stripes was not easy. Her parents told her from the moment she arrived in the United States that she required an education to be successful and recognized by society. This inspired her to work tirelessly, and she completed her studies successfully, earning three prestigious degrees in business administration and economics. Following graduation, she worked as a financial accountant. Many people strive for a prestigious career with a high salary, but Mimi Trinh did not.
Despite her financial success, Mimi Trinh sensed an invisible absence. She explained that during her employment, she realized she was like a machine, devoid of emotions, and lacked the enthusiasm to continue. This encouraged her to look into a new profession where she could discover her genuine love and inspiration: the beauty industry.
Disparaged for the Nail Profession and the Awakening
Mimi Trinh decided to try her hand at nail art, a popular but underrated profession among the Vietnamese community in the United States. Despite continuing to work in finance, she spent her free time learning and working part-time at a small nail salon. She faced a scenario that challenged her morals. While getting her nails done, Mimi saw a female bank manager with whom she had previously dealt in a financial scandal. This woman, with a scornful attitude, not only spoke disparagingly but also splashed dirty water at her. The incident served as a wake-up call for Mimi Trinh, who realized that despite having three prestigious degrees and a high-ranking career, society still held misconceptions that were difficult to overcome.
Mimi Trinh, though, used that disdain as a drive rather than allowing it to take over her. She wanted to dig deeper into the beauty profession, not only to earn a living but also to validate her worth. Nails, permanent makeup, and aesthetics are not only a source of income for her, but also an art form, a passion for making others feel confident and shine.
A fateful encounter, and the choice to pursue permanent makeup
When Mimi Trinh met a particular customer at the nail shop, her career took a significant shift. This guy had cancer and had lost all of his brows, so he asked Mimi to do permanent makeup techniques to help him regain confidence. A few months later, the customer passed away and left Mimi a thank-you letter. This letter inspired Mimi to recognize that her job had a much deeper value. She not only made others look better, but she also helped them reclaim their confidence and joy in life.
This occurrence prompted Mimi Trinh to officially leave the banking industry and pursue a career in permanent makeup. Since then, she has continued to learn and enhance her talents, eventually becoming one of the leading PMU experts in the United States, with global recognition.
From the dream of conquering the beauty profession to the founding of Global Beauty Master Show, a global networking event
After developing a strong personal brand in the beauty sector, Mimi Trinh intends to share her knowledge and experience with colleagues all over the world, rather than only offering beauty services to clients. As a result, she developed the Global Beauty Master Show, an annual event for the global beauty business.
Following a great success in Vietnam in March 2024, the Global Beauty Master Show will go to the United States on October 15-16, 2024. This year’s event is scheduled to bring together hundreds of experts from around the world, including makeup artists, PMU, and nail technicians. The event promises to be full of surprises, including advanced technology demonstrations and the latest beauty trends, as well as a bridge to help industry businesses discover partners and develop into foreign markets.
Thematic seminars where industry experts discuss emerging trends and challenges and share strategies for building successful brands and professional skills are part of the Global Beauty Show 2024 in the United States. These seminars provide educational opportunities and enhance the skills of both industry experts and professionals.
Mimi Trinh’s journey from a poor young immigrant girl to a successful female CEO in the global cosmetics industry has certainly inspired many people. With determination and passion, she not only conquered obstacles and prejudices, but also established a beauty business with global reach. The Global Beauty Master Show is the most visible example of that success, while also providing several possibilities for the Vietnamese beauty business to reach out to the rest of the world.
