Here inLA they move into mini-malls and take up ALL of the parking. In tje meantime all of the other businesses in the mall go out of businesses use there is no parking.
It’s a double edged sword.
There is NO success in the Asian nail manicure trade. They are basically sweat shops.
It is an entry to the country however for the people who work there. But the pay is pitiful.
If that's the "meanest" you get...you are GOLD. :o)
I guess LA is different. I go to one by Target and there is plenty of parking. I also go to another one by Walmart in a strip mall. Parking isn’t an issue there, either.
I found this. Interesting. Thanks for your perspective.
“The fingernails transform from a natural beige to a vibrant orange in a matter of minutes with the expert dab of a brush. It’s an everyday routine performed at hundreds of nail salons around the state — in a business that many view as oversaturated. Nevertheless, more and more nail salons are opening up seemingly by the day in strip malls and along shopping avenues in even the tiniest of towns. The majority, which are owned and operated mainly by Vietnamese immigrants, function straightforwardly as nail salons. But state and federal law enforcement officials believe that the owners of some shops are engaged in illicit activities that may include money laundering and human trafficking, where women are forced or coerced to work for free or engage in sex for a fee. Until recently, this shop in South Boston was owned by a man who is suspected of running one such enterprise and is now being investigated by a federal grand jury.
Much further along Dorchester Avenue in the Fields Corner area of the city, people are darting in and out of mom and pop stores. In the air, you can hear smatterings of Haitian Creole, English minus the R’s, and Vietnamese. Two souped-up cars are double-parked on this street. Life seems normal. So normal that Quac Tran, the director of the Vietnamese American Civic Association, is astounded to hear that human trafficking might be taking place in his community.”
