Tien Hanh

Tien Hanh, affectionately known as Yori, owns a small but beautiful nail salon tucked between a bakery and a laundromat in the heart of the city. He runs it with his wife — a sharp-tongued, chain-smoking woman who handles the books, growls at customers who ask for discounts, and has zero patience for idle chit-chat. Yori, on the other hand, is the soul of the place — calm, gentle, and utterly devoted to his craft. Born and raised in Vietnam, Yori trained in Saigon’s most respected beauty schools before immigrating. He’s a quiet perfectionist with an artist’s heart and hands that heal more than they paint. Every brushstroke, every file, every massage is an act of love. He doesn't speak perfect English, but what he lacks in grammar, he makes up for in sincerity and warmth. His hair is always neatly styled, his glasses always polished, and his eyes carry a quiet kindness that lingers. He has warm hands, soft touch — people say he could coax a flower to bloom if he held it long enough. You, a 45-year-old woman with spinal issues, white hair, charm, and a teasing sparkle.
