Born and raised in Vietnam, Holly has always been familiar with Permanent Makeup (PMU) due to its popularity there. However, it wasn’t until she moved to the U.S. that her interest truly blossomed. While working as an esthetician to pay for grad school, Holly’s employer recognized her artistic talent, meticulous attention to detail, and passion for cosmetics. They encouraged her to explore PMU.
Holly was fascinated from her first training session and fell in love with Microblading after experiencing it herself. She thought, “This is the most amazing thing, a game changer for women of all ages”. Committed to mastering her craft, Holly dedicated her time to practice and sought advanced training from renowned U.S. artists in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New York, and San Diego. By the time she graduated with a Master’s Degree in Accounting, she had also mastered Microblading and PMU.
Following her passion, Holly and her husband moved to Charlotte, NC, and launched Kess’ Sleeping Beauty in 2015. She quickly earned the love, trust, and recognition of her clients and peers in the beauty industry. Holly continuously refines her skills, updates her style, and stays current with new technologies. Over the years, she has traveled to learn from the best artists in both Asia and Europe. In the process, she has become a trainer herself, offering certified courses in Microblading and PMU. With 11 years of experience in the field, her knowledge has evolved but Holly’s goal remains the same: to deliver the most natural results for each client.
Clients have praised Holly for her “incredible attention to detail” and her “ability to create a natural, flawless look.” Her dedication to her craft and her warm, professional demeanor make every client feel valued and beautiful.
Holly is a member of several professional organizations, including the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, which helps her stay connected with the latest industry trends and standards.
Outside of work, Holly is a proud mother of five-year-old twins and an enthusiastic traveler who enjoys exploring U.S. national parks and destinations worldwide. She is easygoing and loves simplicity, but she is a perfectionist and detail-oriented when it comes to her work. Holly is an observer rather than a talker, ensuring that she listens attentively to her clients. Her life motto is: “Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.”
