[Julie-H27023]

I had a Vietnamese friend whose family moved to this country partly in order to own a manicure business, which the entire family participated in. Her brothers seemed to feel no slight to their ‘manhood’ in being manicurists. Also, one of the largest nail salons in my town is staffed almost exclusively by Asian, male manicurists. Is this a coincidence?

As an Employment Services Worker I have found that many Vietnamese immigrants speak very little English but may have family or friends who own a Nail Salon business. You do not have to speak English to do this job. A bi-lingual receptionist states the client’s request and no other verbal communication is necessary and they can make above minimum wage. I have also learned that English is a very difficult language to learn for Vietnamese people because their language is so ‘tonal’. Their words can sound the same to Americans but a slight change in ‘tone’ will give the word a different meaning.
