Welcome to Zazen!!

West Chester's #1 Salon that Specializes in Nails, Lash Extensions/Training, and Microblading.


I’m so excited you found us and wanted to share our story with you.

My name is Tien Nguyen Balan and I’m the co-owner of Zazen Nail Spa and Zazen Beauty in West Chester.

I’m married to my Husband, Chris, and a mother of 2 beautiful boys - Kai and Theo.

I left my corporate Job at CBS News in Philly many years ago to start Zazen because I was tired of smelling all those toxic fumes in traditional salons.  

I wanted to offer something more healthier, safer for moms and kids, and just better overall in customer service.  

I'm obsessed with making people feel beautiful and my expertise/speciality is in Eyelash Extensions and Microblading Eyebrows.  

I've done over two thousand Lash Extension appointments over the years as well over 850 Microblading Clients that travel up to 2 hours to come see us. 

In addition, I also teach beauty professionals how to learn Eyelash Extensions with Lash Classes .  We have had over 80 sold out classes  and hold classes monthly. 

Hope to see you at Zazen! :-)
