In early January of 2025, Mother was preparing to debut its first-ever store in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. But just days before it was set to open, one of the most destructive fires in L.A. history leveled the area, burning 23,448 acres and destroying 6,837 structures.

Believing that supplying product to lash salons had the potential of being far more profitable than owning salons, Nguyen started selling lashes out of her garage, which grew into PLA Beauty, now the largest professional lash brand in the U.S. After 15 years of wearing lash extensions, Nguyen developed an allergic reaction to the adhesive.
