Our Beauty Journey
We started Syvorax Rail in 2018 with a simple dream — to bring the art of stunning acrylic nails to Kota Kinabalu. What began as a tiny corner shop has grown into Malaysia's leading nail beauty destination. This wasn't just a business for us; it was a passion project born from countless late nights perfecting techniques and early mornings welcoming our first clients.
Our Mission & Vision
At Syvorax Rail, we believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin — and at their fingertips. We're not just applying nail products; we're creating personal works of art that boost confidence and bring joy to everyday life.
Our mission reaches beyond beauty. We're committed to building a community where creativity flourishes, where nail artistry is recognized as a legitimate form of self-expression, and where Malaysian beauty standards shine on the global stage. Sometimes I catch myself looking at a client's hands after a session and think, "That's why I do this" — it's that moment when someone sees their transformed nails and can't help but smile.
Looking ahead, we envision expanding our reach throughout Malaysia while maintaining the personal touch that's made us special. We're also deeply invested in sustainable beauty practices — because looking good shouldn't come at the planet's expense.
The Faces Behind Syvorax Rail
Our talented team combines years of expertise with creative passion to deliver exceptional nail artistry.
Rizal Tan
Founder & Creative Director
Having trained in Seoul and Tokyo, Rizal brings 12 years of nail artistry experience to Syvorax Rail. He's a bit obsessed with perfecting new techniques — you'll often find him experimenting after hours. When he's not transforming nails, he's hiking around Sabah looking for color inspiration in nature.
Marcus Lee
Head Trainer & Technical Specialist
Marcus joined us in 2019 after a career as a fine arts teacher. His background gives him a unique approach to nail design — he sees each nail as a tiny canvas. He leads our training program and has helped over 200 students launch their nail careers. Ask him about his collection of vintage nail polishes — it's quite impressive!
