Starting at a refugee camp in Sacramento in 1975, the establishment of Vietnamese-owned nail salons in America paved the way for a new generation of beauty industry businesses.
On October 8th, Bellacures Brentwood and OPI Products honored Hollywood icon Tippi Hedren for her humanitarian efforts in aiding Vietnamese refugees after the Vietnam War and in developing the nail industry.
The Vietnamese-American nail industry has come a long way in the 40 years its been around, and it has allowed many to give back to the country that has given so much and allowed us to achieve the American Dream.
#NailedIt: Vietnamese & the Nail Industry will tell the tale of how actress and humanitarian Tippi Hedren helped Vietnamese refugee women into the nail industry and follow personal stories of those whose lives were impacted.
