Nail Art Techs

More and more nail techs are figuring out that fifty percent of twenty dollars now-a-days is not footing the bill in this hard economic time that were living in today. That basic manicure is just too basic as more and more clients are going natural and staying away from the harsh chemicals such as acrylic and/or gel nails. Walking into your nail salon and/or spa you are now more likely to find that your nail tech are now doing waxing, and a facial while soaking your hands/foot for a manicure and pedicure. Nail Techs are returning to class to learn waxing techniques and skin care.

Pumping out more than an hundred bucks within a hour: for a full brazil bikini wax, designed eyebrow shaping, eyelash tinting, and a mani and pedi to boot! NailEsthetician books are full and they are spending more time with a client which is likely to result in a returned client.

You can now find help wanted ads asking that Nail Techs must also do waxing or that Aestheticians know how to do mani's and pedi's. Aniko Salon in Chicago have jumped on board by hiring Aeshetician's that is also a licensed Nail Tech. More and more Salons/spas are now providing the full package from only one tech and it is the ultimate experience for clients to see only one tech which in-turn allows for a bigger tip for the 'one' tech.

As we move to a more "go green" environment and clients become more and more aware that harsh chemicals are no longer needed to make your nails look great; prices began to stand still for the basic manicures. Nail Techs have to become creative and upgrade services like: spa packages with signatures scrubs, paraffin treatments, mani or pedi flex or ask the client if they would like to add a mani to their "just" pedi service or a pedi to their "just" mani service for pennies on the dollar.

Aestheticians are: skin care specialist; not dermatologist or nail techs; they must return to school to get their Nail Tech License and vice versa for Nail Techs if they wish to do skin care. You do not want a Nail Tech cutting your hair if they are only licensed to do nails. Here in Illinois a License Cosmetologist can do skin/nails and/or hair provided that she continues her education or experience beyond school.

Skin care is where the beauty industry is seriously headed as more and more baby boomers and women in general pay more attention to their skin. More and more Aestheticians are working close with dermatologist to also increase their income and Medical Manicurist are popping up slowly but surely.

Getting it Right For Your New Nail Art

Having a nail salon business does not necessarily mean that you will have to have a huge shop. You can have a small little kiosk in a mall and it can end up being a big hit. You can find a nail salon just about everywhere now. Everyone opens one. But to be successful you have to have the proper employees, decent nail salon furniture and you have a concept for the salon which is a bit different from the rest.

• Before you start you need to find out if you require a business license or an occupational license in order to start the business. Go through all the licenses which are required for opening a store in your area. Now comes the part about the nail tech license. If you don't do nails, then you won't require the license. But then your employees who are going to be working on the nail are going to need it.

• The next part is to decide on what exactly the services are, which you are going to offer. These can include gel and fiberglass nails, manicures and pedicures, acrylic nails and so on. Now according to the services you will offer you will need the right nail salon furniture. You also need manicure stations along with pedicure booths and so on.

• You can opt for getting a business loan if you can't afford paying for everything up front. You also need to calculate the amount of space you are going to need for the entire salon. You have to buy the space accordingly. If you don't do this you won't be able to fit the nail salon furniture in the shop properly.
