Updated: Nov 6, 2023

The Arboretum Nail Salon, a socially conscious nail salon tucked away in San Juan, is a unique establishment that is dedicated to empowering single mothers and breadwinners through employment.

Arboretum was conceptualized by owner, Miguel Lim, as a safe haven for women providing vocational training and employment opportunities - women who face challenges in the workforce, such as discrimination due to religion or socioeconomic status, lack of opportunities for higher paying jobs, childcare responsibilities as single mothers, and financial instability as primary breadwinners for their families.


By providing these women with the skills and resources they need to succeed in the beauty industry, the Arboretum Nail Salon hopes to make a real difference in the lives of its employees and in the community.



Arboretum Nail Salon's goal is to provide single mothers and breadwinners with the resources they need to build fulfilling careers and achieve financial independence. Miguel understands that many of the women we work with are the breadwinners for their families, and they face significant challenges in the workforce. By providing them with vocational training and employment opportunities, Arboretum is helping the women overcome obstacles and build better lives for themselves and their families.


The Arboretum Nail Salon's vocational training program is designed to provide women with the skills they need and the confidence to succeed. The program includes hands-on training in all aspects of nail, hands and feet care, including manicures, pedicures, and massage.


The Arboretum provides a supportive and welcoming environment where women can hone their skills and build their careers. The salon offers competitive compensation and benefits, including an eight-hour shift, paid time off, cash benefits and bonuses, team building activities and others, apart from government mandated benefits. This is to ensure that employees can provide for their families and have access to basic necessities.


Miguel emphasizes the importance of community support in achieving their mission: "We're proud to support the single mothers and breadwinners in our community, but we can't do it alone."






"By choosing to get your nails done at our salon, you're not just getting a great manicure or pedicure, you're supporting a cause that is making a real difference in the lives of women in our community."



The Arboretum Nail Salon's mission is not just about providing nail services, it's about empowering women to build better lives for themselves and their families. By supporting this mission, customers of the salon are making a positive impact in the community and helping to create a more equitable and just society.
