AJ Nails opens in the former Charlie Wong building

Hunter and Julie Nguyen have officially opened the doors to their nail salon AJ Nails in Evergreen. The couple says they are slowly growing their business after renovating the former Charlie Wong restaurant.  

They opened the salon after Charlie Wong Restaurant closed in September of 2023. Hunter said they have family connections with owner Charlie Trinh, who operated the restaurant there for 27 years.  

When Nguyen and his wife decided to open their own business in the space, they first considered continuing the restaurant but opted to focus all their efforts on doing nails, since Evergreen doesn’t have a dedicated nail salon.
