    PRESIDENT

    "My journey to Kōzē Head Spa & More began with a transformative experience during a trip to Vietnam, where I was captivated by the traditional head spa shampoo and its deeply rejuvenating effects. That moment sparked a passion in me to bring this unique and healing service to the United States. While working in the insurance industry, I committed myself to learning these techniques firsthand in Vietnam and later pursued formal training and licensure in the U.S.

    Today, I’m a licensed Advanced Esthetician, Nail Technician, and Permanent Makeup Tattoo Artist—a field where my passion for artistic design and attention to detail truly shine. As a certified makeup artist as well, I bring a keen eye for enhancing natural beauty through both cosmetic and permanent techniques. At Kōzē, I specialize in Permanent Makeup Tattoo services, with a focus on creating soft, natural-looking results that enhance each client’s unique features.

    It’s been incredibly rewarding to build Kōzē Head Spa & More alongside Mindy and Chrissy, and I’m thrilled to share this vision of beauty, artistry, and self-care with our community."

  • Mindy DANg

    VICE PRESIDENT

    "After years of struggling with acne and feeling frustrated by the lack of results from conventional treatments, I became deeply interested in understanding skincare and how to care for my own skin. This personal journey sparked a genuine passion for the beauty and wellness industry, motivating me to dive deeper into esthetics so I could not only help myself, but also support others going through similar challenges.

    In 2023, I graduated from the Carlson School of Management with a degree in Management Information Systems. Around the same time, I was inspired by the transformative head spa experience in Vietnam that captivated both Leann and Chrissy, which further fueled my interest in holistic beauty care. Together, we decided to pursue licensure, and I earned credentials as an Advanced Esthetician and a Nail Technician. I also gained hands-on experience working as a Wax Technician and Esthetician at an established spa, where I refined my skills and built confidence in client care.

    At Kōzē, I specialize in waxing services, where my focus is on creating smooth, efficient, and comfortable experiences for every client. I’m excited to bring a unique blend of personal passion, professional training, and business insight to Kōzē Head Spa & More."

  • Chrissy Dang

    CEO

    "Like Mindy, I graduated from the Carlson School of Management in 2023 with a degree in Management Information Systems. While I valued my business education, I felt a strong pull toward entrepreneurship—specifically, introducing the popular head spa experience from Vietnam to Minnesota. After experiencing its deeply relaxing and restorative benefits firsthand, I knew this was something our community needed.

    Motivated by that vision, I partnered with Leann and Mindy to bring Kōzē to life. Together, we underwent extensive training and earned licensure as Advanced Estheticians and Nail Technicians. While preparing for Kōzē’s launch, I also sharpened my expertise working as an Esthetician and Lash Artist.

    At Kōzē, I specialize in Lash Extensions, where I focus on designing customized looks that enhance and complement each client’s natural features. I’m proud to be part of a space dedicated to self-care, beauty, and relaxation, and I can’t wait to share that experience with you at Kōzē Head Spa & More."
