Giang Tran, 23, received a two-year suspended sentence.
Passing sentence, Judge Chambers said the three had exploited highly vulnerable young Vietnamese women due to “pure economic greed”.
The women were forced to work without wages and slept in a loft space above Nail Bar Deluxe in Bath city centre.
Det Insp Charlotte Tucker from Avon and Somerset Police said the victims were “treated by traffickers as commodities” and had “traumatic childhoods”.
