The Nail Industry is currently attracting a lot of attention due to its versatility, appealing to various people without age or gender constraints. Consequently, the Nail sector is emerging as a new trend in the workforce, particularly in the United States. Upon closer observation, it’s noticeable that some of the hottest nail salons in the U.S. are owned or originated by Vietnamese people. So, why are Vietnamese individuals able to ‘dominate’ the nails industry in the US? Explore the insights in the article below.
The occupation that does not discriminate against anyone
In the US, anyone can start with this profession. Old or young, boys or girls, as long as they have a passion to learn and start with this profession. For example:
Mr. Linh Huynh, was a driver in HCM. Since being invited by relatives to come to the US to work in a nail salon, he has been working hard for 10 hours a day and 6 days a week. Thanks to his hard work, he has opened his own nail salon in Kendall.
Moreover, in California or South Florida, there are many Vietnamese and Vietnamese-origin people who are famous for doing nails and supporting their families. According to a survey, up to 40% of nail technicians in the US are of Vietnamese origin. Through this number, we can also see how Vietnamese people have an advantage in the nail industry.
High demand for beauty in nails industry in the US
It is not difficult to see the image of American teenage girls with beautiful and impressive nails. One of the most famous images on social media is rapper Cardi B – a rapper who is always associated with sophisticated and unique nails. Regardless of age or gender, people in the land of the stars and stripes always have a great passion for nails.
With such high demand, customers will flock to nail salons, creating stable customer traffic. Because nails must constantly change, and no one does nails only once in their life.
If you want to develop and earn good revenue, you need to have high skills and be able to do many different styles. The more creative you are, the more customers you attract. That is why this is an ideal choice for Vietnamese immigrants here.
HIGH income in nails industry in the US
This is likely why many people agree: the growing demand for beauty services means more customers, and more customers translate into more money for nail salons. Therefore, it’s clear that this profession offers a relatively good income, which depends on your skill level. The higher-end the nail salon, the greater your income and tips will be.
Statistics in the U.S. show that nail technicians can earn up to $5,000 per month. This is a significant amount, and to increase it over time, you must invest seriously in your career.
A survey in the U.S. revealed that “40% of nail technicians are of Vietnamese origin, with an average income of about $3,000. 35% of them earn between $3,500 and $4,000 per month.” This is not a small number and makes it an ideal job to support your livelihood.
In conclusion, this profession is one of the high-income jobs you can pursue.
Nail training in the US is not really booming
Everyone knows that the nail industry is thriving in the U.S., but formal training schools are almost nonexistent. In contrast, Vietnam offers many specialized schools for training in this field.
To become a nail technician in the U.S., you must meet certain qualifications set by the State Board. Regulations vary depending on the state and the required number of study hours.
As you can see, nail training in the U.S. faces limitations, which is why nail technicians from Vietnam, who are well-trained and skilled, have become a valuable labor source. Additionally, they can teach others and earn extra income.
Because of this, the nail industry in the U.S. is often referred to as the “empire” for Vietnamese workers.
Career development
At first, Vietnamese immigrants here would often choose to work in large, reputable nail salons for a few years to accumulate capital and experience. Then depending on their financial ability and needs, many people will choose to separate, open their own nail salon, and ensure business conditions such as having a vocational certificate, ensuring enough years of work, etc. However, many people will return to their home country and reunite with their families. Nevertheless, this is also an attractive environment for those who intend to stay in the US for a long time.
With large nail salons located in prime locations and many customers, including famous people, a revenue of over $10,000 is normal. From there, they can open not only one but a series of different Nail Salons under their own brand, developing their careers in the US.
Conclusion
Overall, the success of Vietnamese people in the NAILS industry in the US is a result of their relentless efforts and progressive spirit in their work.
