The Sweetest Reminder Every Week

I work for a Vietnamese nail salon owner who treats everyone like family.

Every Friday around lunchtime she walks through the salon and reminds all of us not to skip lunch.

She always smiles and says,

Friendly reminder

Remember to come get your chao. Thank you.

It sounds simple, but after a busy morning with back to back customers, that little reminder means a lot.

We all laugh, wash our hands, and sit down together for a bowl of hot Vietnamese rice porridge.

Those moments remind me that a good salon is more than just a place to work.

It feels like home, and I will always be thankful for owners who truly care about their team.
