Yolanda Johnson plans to open her Nail and Skin Bar Institute in June and run it from her Park Avenue nail shop. “My goal is to help women coming home from incarceration get their state board manicure and pedicure license so that they can become entrepreneurs,” she said. “That’s the main goal.” (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
Yolanda Johnson, who has been in the nail industry for 21 years, plans to open a school to help former ex-felons train to be entrepreneurs and start their own nail salons like she did.
