The team

The people behind ULAN

We grew up around nail salons. We build the calm, beautiful tools we always wished our salons had — for owners and guests across the US, Vietnam and Korea.

Mai Phạm, Founder & CEO

Mai Phạm

Founder & CEO

Grew up doing homework at the front desk of her family's nail salon in Mississippi. Started ULAN to give every salon owner calm, modern tools.

Junho Kim, Head of Engineering

Junho Kim

Head of Engineering

Leads the on-device AI. Believes face recognition should run privately on the salon's own iPad — never the cloud.

Linh Đỗ, Head of Customer Success

Head of Customer Success

Onboards every salon personally, in Vietnamese, English or Korean. Your salon's first call, day or night.

The ULAN studio office
Where we work

A small studio, a big obsession

We're a tight team of nail-industry veterans, designers and engineers. No bloated org chart — just people who answer your messages and ship fast.

Half of us have worked a salon floor. That's why ULAN feels less like enterprise software and more like a calm extension of your front desk.

Privacy first

Biometrics stay on the salon's device. We never sell or upload your guests' data.

Calm by design

Beautiful, quiet interfaces that reduce stress at a busy front desk.

Fair to techs

Our turn engine ends the daily fight over who gets the next walk-in.
