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 West Chester and Zazen Beauty in West Chester, PA. We have 2 locations next to each other: One for our Salon Services  at 200 E. Gay St and a Separate building for our Microblading/PMU Services located at 152 E. Gay St.

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 three thousand Clients for both Lash Extensions and Microblading with Clients that travel up to 3 hours to come see us.

Over 5000 Clients.

Over 1500 Students.

Over 300 Sold Out Classes.
