I don't know how it is nationwide, but here in Mississippi many nail salons are owned by Vietnamese immigrants.

Most of the ones in my region are Vietnamese owned as well. It is a pretty common phenomenon since around the mid 80s or early 90s.

I am not quite sure. I have been to some that were. I think the one I have been going to is Korean owned. There are people of all nationalities working there though.

No... all WASPs!

Maybe it is because there are no VietNamese in my area.

Korean by me mainly because of the large Korean population in Queens, NY.

the salon I go to here in Boston seems to be employed with only Vietnamese women. Not sure about the owners.

It's mostly Chinese-owned where I live. I've only been to one non-Asian one and it was a white owner with Hispanic women manicurists.

All I want is someone who won't start too much conversation while I'm there. I'm paying to relax more than anything else.
