Melody and Susie were two young and passionate nail art professionals/cosmetologists living in San Francisco, California. After seeing many working women struggling to balance work, family, and self-care at their salon, they decided to start a new career. With a shared vision bigger than themselves − to help women achieve balance, in 2009, Melody and Susie founded MelodySusie, a beauty brand with salon-quality products for customers to use at home that was still very affordable.
