Kustom Klaws
Kustom Klaws
Live on May 26
Kustom Klaws is owned and operated by former Perth burlesque babe, Kenjai. Before opening her own business, Kenjai was an international multi-award winning pin-up and burlesque performer. She toured the world at events including the London Burlesque Festival, Galway Burlesque Festival Ireland, Slavic Burlesque Festival Poland, the New Zealand Burlesque Festival and the Australian Burlesque Festival. Kenjai has also performed with cabaret troupes in Malta, Paris, and Hamburg.
After a hugely successful year in 2017 touring the world, Kenjai decided to put burlesque on the back burner to focus on her nail career. And so, Kustom Klaws was born.
Kenjai is a qualified nail technician with a Cert III in Nail Technology. In 2017, Kenjai began working from her home-based salon. In May of 2018, Kustom Klaws opened doors inside Bronze Bombshell Beauty in Claremont. The business quickly boomed and Kenjai was awarded multiple prestigious state and national awards for her nail art.
On May 1, 2019 Kustom Klaws opened doors at 1004 Beaufort Street Inglewood with the first standalone Kustom Klaws Salon. Since then Kustom Klaws has quickly become one of Perth’s most sought after salons. GlossaryLive takes a look inside this funky, fantastic salon with its unique nail style and vibe.
