Who is Mailisa?
Mailisa is not just the name of a famous beauty clinic chain across Vietnam, but also the nickname of Ms. Phan Thi Mai (born in 1975) — the co-founder and current CEO of the Mailisa Beauty System, which she manages together with her husband, Mr. Hoang Kim Khanh. Established in 1998, Mailisa has become one of the most reputable beauty clinic chains in the country.
Ms. Phan Thị Mai, often called Mailisa, is a well-known figure in the beauty industry and on social media. She is famous for her luxurious lifestyle, owning large mansions and a collection of expensive supercars. Her husband, Mr. Hoàng Kim Khánh, is also a co-director of the Mailisa system and is recognized as a successful businessman with a strong passion for luxury cars.
Today, the Mailisa Beauty Clinic has branches all over Vietnam, offering services such as cosmetic tattooing, skincare, and advanced technology skin treatments.
From poverty to building an empire
According to Mailisa’s official website, Phan Thị Mai was born into a poor farming family in Tân Dân Commune, Đức Thọ District, Hà Tĩnh Province. She had one older brother, lost her father when she was 11 years old, and her mother could not read or write.
Growing up in hardship but full of determination to change her life, Mai left her hometown and moved to Saigon to start working. At first, she worked in a shoe factory, then became a housemaid and a waitress at a goat hotpot restaurant, saving only 900,000 VND after three months.
One day, after noticing how the price of balut eggs (hột vịt lộn) kept increasing, she came up with the idea of starting a small food business. With her tiny savings, she opened a street food stall, selling balut eggs, grilled corn, and snails. Thanks to her hard work, cleanliness, and friendly service, her stall quickly became popular.
However, when local authorities confiscated her food cart for taking up sidewalk space, Mai decided to take a new path. During the day, she attended hairdressing classes, and at night, she continued selling food to earn money. With her natural skill and good taste, she became a skilled hairstylist after just six months, and soon opened her own salon — the first major step toward building the Mailisa beauty empire that she runs today.
