California Nails Salon, 4824 California Av. SW, reopens Monday, one month after a car drove through the shop's front door. Nobody was seriously injured, although owners Anh and Binh Nguyen were inside at the time. It was April 11. Anh told the West Seattle Herald that they received some money through the driver's liability insurance policy but that it has been a financial struggle to reopen. They live in White Center.
"We just took the business over last June," said Anh, 46. "We have four spa and pedicure tables and four manicure tables." Binh is known for her waxing. "She has been doing this for a long time in Vietnam. I went back and married her. I sponsored her to come here nine years ago. Our daughter, Evian, is going on 8."
"I walk around and people see me, give me a hug, ask 'When are you open again?'" said Binh. "Everybody please come back. Thank you very much."
