About

Trophy Wife was born in 2010 by Melbourne based Chelsea Bagan.

What initially started as a side-hustle, turned into something really special.

A nail art and beauty space that became the anti-salon salon. Relaxed and inclusive, it is a creative space that celebrates beauty and art.

Why the name 'Trophy Wife'?

In this instance it is a tongue-in-cheek take on an out-dated social term we are politely taking aim at.

Our Richmond salon is a collective space of self-employedcreatives that is home to not only the Trophy Wife nail artists but also Gin Castro Hair and Makeup, Sunday Brow Stylist, Lili Taylor Nails and Nails by Kirsten.
