Our Story

Built for the Community.
Powered by Vision Intelligence.

LACQ was founded by people who know this industry from the inside - a seasoned nail supply manufacturer and one of the largest Texas distributors. We didn't start with technology. We started with the problem.

Where We Came From

We're Industry People First. Tech Company Second.

LACQ was born from frustration - the kind that only comes from living the problem for decades. Founders Anh Tran and Mindy Tran spent years watching a $47 billion industry run on handwritten orders, cash payments, 2-hour supply runs, and manual inventory counts that were always wrong.

Anh Tran built manufacturing operations that supply nail products across the country. Mindy Tran established one of Dallas, Texas's largest nail supply distribution businesses, serving customers across Texas and beyond. Together, they saw the same broken system from both ends - and decided to fix it with the one thing the industry had never had: visual intelligence.

LACQ isn't a Silicon Valley bet on a market segment. It's a community rebuilding its own infrastructure - with the tools that were never there before.

Manufacturing Roots

Deep experience in nail product manufacturing - understanding quality control, supply reliability, and what factories actually need.

Distribution Expertise

Operating one of Texas's largest nail supply distributors means knowing every pain point: inventory chaos, delivery inefficiency, salon owner frustrations.

Community Trust

8,000+ products in catalog before a single line of software was written. LACQ is built on real relationships, not investor pitch decks.

Vision Intelligence Built for the Industry

Our vision models are trained on real nail product data - gel bottles, acrylic containers, tools. Not generic warehouse software adapted to fit.

"We're digitizing the beauty supply chain - because we've lived every broken part of it, from the factory floor to the warehouse to the salon chair."

- Anh Tran & Mindy Tran, Co-Founders of LACQ
