Ji Baek — the pretty and, er, polished proprietress of uber-chic Rescue Beauty Lounge in New York — went from playing professional violin to managing a restaurant to owning one of the top nail salons known in the industry.
Her client base among the fashion set burgeoned after she opened her first salon in 1999, thanks to signature nail designs in covetable patterns like Burberry plaid. In 2003, Baek decided to leave her clients to their own nail devices when they couldn’t make it into the salon by launching her own polish line throughout North America.
Baek apparently isn’t opposed to spilling the beans on a few of her secrets. Her book Rescue Your Nails gives the goods on achieving the best nail shapes, sterilizing tools and curbing nail biting bad habits.
It’s Ji to the rescue.
