Our MISSION
Formed in May 2015, Handle with Care is an alliance that supports socially responsible service in the nail care industry. Together with our pledge partners, we strive to spread awareness of the abuse of nail salon workers in the Northeast, exposed by The New York Times, and set the standard of socially responsible service.
