Jade Kim Trusso, Owner — 

I love to go out for a walk. I always notice small changes in nature every morning and watching nature grow becomes my inspiration. It’s fascinating how nature looks different every day and it encourages me to be the person I want to be. I believe that everyone comes from nature and will be gone to nature in the end, therefore, it’s important to be a part of nature all the time. I also love to explore new places and read art books. Letting myself be in a new place helps me get out of my comfort zone and gives me a variety of new creative ideas.

What's your favorite food?
I love Korean pancakes. There are lots of different kinds such as ones made with chives, seafood, Kimchi, potato. My mom used to make it, especially on rainy days.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I love FKJ and listen to iFeel often.

 

What's your favorite NIB service and why?
It’s Renew Massage with an add-on, Scalp Renewal. I was taught to scrub the body while taking a bath since I was little. So getting back-scrubbed during the Renew Massage is the most favorite part of the services at NIB.

Why is self-care important to you?
It's obvious to every human to get running out of breath if they don't adjust their pace. Life is a long-term game, therefore everyone needs time to pause because our energy is not unlimited. When I take time to replenish my energy, it's also a time to be creative and go forward. By focusing on myself, I can fully put everything together and take care of loved ones around me. I truly believe that to take care of others whom I love, I should take care of myself first.

Jin Jun, General Manager —

 
How do you practice self-care?
I can confidently say… I’m a hard worker! I’m always excited to get updated with new nail art designs and I love taking care of my nails. After I became a nail art design director at NIB, my self-care strategy became getting my nails done with new, aesthetic designs. Even though it’s part of my work, it's an all-time inspiration for me to get creative energy. I also love meeting people I love. I’m an extrovert who spends time with others and gets enormous self-loving energy.

What's your favorite food?
Korean side dishes and meat.
I can't live without protein and vegetables.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I listen to Nella Fantasia. When I listen to that song, I feel like my heart has doubled and I'm standing in an amazing place.

What's your favorite NIB service and why?
Of course, Glow secret Pedicure! It's the most luxurious service and you can get all the care. Green tea mask, Charcoal Scrub, callus care, and a 10 minute massage! Oh, I want to get it right now..

Why is self-care important to you?
Having self-care time by doing things that I mentioned in the first question really makes me love myself. Loving myself also inspires me to become a better person every time. I also believe that I can be more competent in my work field when I get to the right place to take care of myself.
