I have three within a mile of my house. Two are at opposite ends of one mall and a third one is in another mall? I can't see how they stay in business even if the workers are illegal? aliens? who are paid slave wages.
Are they a scam to get low interest Federal SBA loans? Then do a a bust out bankruptcy? Fronts for immigration scams? Are some of them fronts for Chinese investors who want visas? The can score a visa if they invest half a million dollars in a US business. I believe they can bring their whole family into America with this $500,000 investment.
Usually $25..............
My town has these plus a whole bunch of Oriental massage parlors.
Federal SBA loans

Certain immigrants and refugees can get better SBA loan terms than Americans born here.
They are money trees because women pay obscene money regularly to look like clowns. They are legit businesses.
$25 per toenail.
I have seen the live with three or for families in a house so they can start a business. I don’t know about your location but they could be just living the American dream to run their own business.
clean out your ears for ?
I don’t know. I do know that I use them on a regular basis. They are, actually, artists, who deserve more money for the work that they do. But no American is going to pay more than eight bucks for a manicure. They appear to be fine people, btw.
Where do you live? I’m guessing San Diego
“My town has these plus a whole bunch of Oriental massage parlors.”
Usually next door to each other.
I always tip them heavily. I just hope their overseers don’t demand them to hand it over. When I was a kid who worked in an Italian restaurant (coat check), those damn Italians made me hand over my tips.
Have you noticed that all the convenience stores are being bought by middle easterners or Pakistani/Indians?
In San Diego all of the nail salons are Vietnamese. All of the independent doughnut shops are Cambodian. Every liquor store with a deli is owned by Chaldean Chrisitans. They find a niche and stick with it.
They are mostly the children of people who came here from Vietnam after the war. The ones that I know were given help like job training, but they are not cashing in like the more recent crop of refugees like the Somalis and muslims.
Often, the people who work there are related to the business owner.
Where are you? Korean Massage Parlors were wiped out in NYC in the late 70s, thank God.
I always thought it would be a great way to launder money.
I think they get like ten bucks every time you put a question mark after a sentence that isn’t a question.
I you stop that, they will go away?
Yes they will?
