Base Coat
When Tran Wills, Base Coat Founder, was pregnant with her fourth child, she swung by her local salon for a pedicure. While waiting for her treatment, she became nauseous from the harsh chemicals and her nose started bleeding.
Having grown up in nail salons, she witnessed her own family working in conditions that were hazardous to their health, while also being unfairly compensated.
That’s why in 2013 she founded Base Coat, the first non-toxic nail salon in Denver and one of only a few in the entire country.
A salon that supported the health and well-being of everyone, customers and staff alike.
