Many Vietnamese women were former teachers, business owners and government officials who came to the United States in 1975 after the fall of Saigon and landed in Hope Village, a tent city for Vietnamese refugees near Sacramento.

Actress Tippi Hedren, drawn to the plight of Vietnamese refugees, visited every few days. The Vietnamese knew little of Hollywood, so Hedren showed them Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" and pointed out her face on the screen.

Hedren was captivated by the refugees' stories of their homeland. They were fascinated by her nails: long, oval, the color of coral.

"I noticed that these women were very good with their hands," said Hedren, now 78. "I thought, why couldn't they learn how to do nails?"

So Hedren flew in her manicurist once a week to teach the women how to trim cuticles, remove calluses and perform nail wraps. She persuaded a nearby beauty school to teach the women and helped them find jobs. The story and Vietnamese in the nail industry grow from there... cool

Answer they are slaves to the salon ownethe Asian girls have been forced to work in the salons like slaves for little pay. The salon owners get all the profit and in many cases confiscate the immigrants' papers. The usually male owner will make the girls into virtual prisoners and slaves. So why do Asians work in nail salons? MONEY!

They don't, I've seen whites and orientals working in a nail salon.
