About Us
At TAD Beauty, we're transforming the beauty industry by combining a lifelong passion for lashes with technological innovation to bring you a one-of-a-kind DIY lash system. What started as a personal challenge to make DIY lashes better has become a beauty revolution. At TAD we are in relentless pursuit of lash perfection, driven in part by our founder's vision, and a deep understanding of what professionals and everyday beauty lovers alike need in their toolkits to take on the day.
The Product
Michelle’s idea for 3D-printed lashes came from a realization: traditional lash manufacturing just couldn’t deliver on her vision. She had three key goals:
- She wanted a lash material that was flexible, durable, and would never lose its curl.
- She wanted a design that would secure the DIY lashes better, making them last longer and stay more comfortable.
- And she wanted the lashes to feel like nothing else—a perfect combination of ease and elegance.
From these ideas, TAD 3D Memory Flex Technology was born. This breakthrough material is unlike anything else in the lash world. It is engineered with the human body temperature in mind, ensuring your lashes hold their curl and shape, even if you sleep on your face. It is designed to always bounce back to its original state, especially when the lashes are close to the eyelid. Your body temperature keeps the lashes stable, truly unlike anything that exists in the beauty industry. You'll never wake up with misshapen lashes again.
But it didn't stop there. We developed a microstructure design at the base of each lash segment, adding tiny fibers that sit at a 90-degree angle. These fibers "hug" your natural lashes from multiple points of contact, ensuring better retention and less discomfort. This means your lashes will stay put, feel secure, and look amazing for longer.
The fact is most DIY lashes have bad retention because they only have one-sided contact with the natural lashes. With our proprietary microstructure, TAD lashes hug around the natural lashes, increasing the contact surface allowing the segments to not lift from the base.
Most people blame adhesive or application for poor retention. The reality is that traditional lash segment's bases are constantly being put through testing everytime we blink. The base over time will start to separate and eventually come off. And even worse, the base can separate and poke into your eyes -- not exactly an ideal feeling.
The microstructure on each TAD segment allows the natural lashes and the TAD DIY lash extensions to bond from multiple points. The microstructure also helps evenly distribute the adhesive to ensure great retention.
Combined, TAD 3D Memory Flex Technology and its accompanying microstrucutre result in your most comfortable lashes ever. They're designed to make your "get ready with me" easier, and elevate your lash game in ways that were previously impossible. We're also proud that many of the core components of our system are made in the USA, underscoring our commitment to quality and supporting local craftsmanship. As Michelle says, "The American Dream is Made in America."
The People
TAD Beauty was founded by Michelle Nguyen, a pioneer in the lash industry with over 18 years of experience. Her journey began in 2006 as a professional lash artist, where she honed her skills and developed a deep passion for making lash services more accessible and effective for everyone. Michelle has always been about finding smarter, better ways to do things. With her professional lash extension and nail brand, PLA, she focused on providing professional-grade products to cosmetologists, manicurists, and estheticians. But in 2021, when she became allergic to traditional lash extensions, she realized she had to create a product that was different—something that didn’t exist in the beauty market.
That’s how the idea for TAD Beauty was born. TAD was truly built from the creative minds of PLA, a globally known professional eyelash extension supply company. Michelle migrated members of PLA to TAD to help drive the dream forward. This was crucial to the development of our lash system, with many talented lash artists involved in R&D and creation of the TAD lashes.
The Technology
At TAD, we’re proud to say that our lashes are powered by some of the most advanced beauty technologies in the world. Our partner, OPT, has developed a proprietary 3D printing system that’s years ahead of the competition. It allows us to design and produce lashes with unmatched precision, detail, and durability.
What makes our technology so unique is its combination of high-level engineering and beauty expertise. Every lash we create is the result of years of research, development, and collaboration with some of the best minds in the industry.

This means that TAD lashes aren’t just beautiful—they’re a true technical achievement. The blend of science and beauty is at the core of everything we do. And we’re not stopping there. At TAD, the future of lashes is already happening.

The Heart
Michelle’s story is at the heart of TAD Beauty. Born and raised in Vietnam, she grew up hearing stories about the opportunities in the USA—a place where, if you worked hard enough, you could build the life of your dreams.
When she was 18, Michelle moved to the United States on a student visa, full of hope and determination. Her journey wasn’t always easy, but her hard work and dedication to her craft helped her carve a successful path in the beauty industry. Starting as a manicurist and working her way up to becoming a lash artist, Michelle eventually opened her own salon. Then, in 2018, she launched her first product line. But her heart always pulled her toward something bigger; something that could revolutionize the way people experience lashes.
TAD Beauty is the realization of that dream. Every product we create is designed with intention, care, and the goal of empowering our customers to feel their very best. Michelle’s passion for innovation shines through in every aspect of TAD—from the thoughtful design of our lashes, to the community we’ve built around it.
Her story is a testament to perseverance, creativity, and the power of believing in your vision. TAD isn’t just about lashes—it’s about creating beauty inside AND out.
At TAD Beauty, we're changing the lash industry by combining innovation, passion, and technology to bring you a one-of-a-kind DIY lash system.
