California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative

The California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative is a statewide grassroots organization that addresses health, environmental, reproductive justice, and other social issues faced by its low-income, female, Vietnamese immigrant and refugee workforce.

Founded in 2005 by Asian Health Services, CHNSC emerged in direct response to an increasing concern of nail salon workers who exhibited serious health issues such as chronic asthma, skin rashes, and reproductive health issues.

Our mission is to mobilize the nail salon workforce to transform the health, safety, and working conditions of the nail salon industry to build a healthy, sustainable, and equitable community.
