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 and a Separate building for our Lash & Microblading Training Classes.
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.
In addition, I also teach beauty professionals how to Learn Lash Extension and Microblading with our Training Programs. We’ve taught over 300 Sold out classes and over 2000 students and are one of the largest Training Centers in the Northeast.

Over 4000 Clients.

Over 1500 Students.

Over 300 Sold Out Classes.
