On: The Price of Nice Nails

[danso]

Kind of off-topic, but recently there was a front-page post here on Vietnamese-Americans' dominance of the nail salon industry, which is what I think of when I think of the manicure business, too. Though come to think of it, in New York, I rarely saw any Vietnamese-owned salons:

Probably depends on which coast youre in. West coast and California is probably Vietnamese and east coast and new York is Korean.

Around D.C. it's a mix (same with Barbers)

It helps to have the 3rd highest concentration of Koreans in the U.S. and a large Vietnamese population in Northern Virginia. Go down one street and there's nothing but Vietnamese nail and hair businesses. Go down another and you'll find Koreans.

Probably because there aren't many Vietnamese-Americans in NY, at least compared to Texas and California.
