LONG NGUYEN

Stylist / Instructor / Owner

While growing up, Long trained himself to not only cut his friend’s hair, but also his own. The gratification of making others feel good about themselves sparked an urge for Long to pursue his passion in the beauty industry. With that ambition, Long graduated and received his cosmetology license in the year 2000 with his wife, Kay. After working at previous salons and gaining loyal clients and lifelong friends, he decided to start up his own venture. In 2007, Long and his brother, Dustin decided to partner up and open up Absolute Salon here in Walnut Creek. When he’s not at the Salon, you can catch him spending time with his family or at the beauty college where he dedicates himself to educating students learn more about the industry.  

KAY

Stylist / Lash Artist

Kay has been with Absolute Salon since the beginning and has gained a longstanding following of clients and friends. Her career started with her husband Long, as she graduated and got her license the same time as him. Kay is a great stylist and lash artist and has the countless Yelp reviews that speak for themselves. In her spare time, you can find her spending time with her husband and family.
