Question

i have ALWAYS wondered this

does anyone know this????

EVERY TIME i go there its run bye Vietnamese people

im not racist or anything

i just noticed that

Answer 1

I know,, but sometimes its Japanese or Chinese people. But they're good at what they do so I don't worry.

But whenever I mention it,, my friend said I'm racist.

And then when they speak they're language really quiet,, I wonder if they're talking to me lol

Answer 2

becouse a while ago ( like 20 years ) a lady from america went to vietnam and taught the women there manicuring ( to get them to b able to make money here ) and sense they were desperate for money there prices were super low, so everyone went to them instead of the salons that had been there. after their salons became so popular more and more of them started coming, and still charging almost nothing putting ( the "white" salons outta buisness )  

Answer 3

yea my mom works in a nail salon haha. I asked her that too she told me because it was easy to learn and most of the overseas Vietnamese don't have time to go to school so they choose this kind of job. Plus, a lot of Vietnamese people work in nail salons already, why don't just work with them? And yes, sometimes they are talking about you but not always and it's usually something good like "she's pretty". something like that.

Answer 4
