Nail Service & Pricing Help ?

Ok, So I'm in the process of getting my nail tech license and I am able to offer nail services to the public.


I need help making a service list along with prices.





Could someone help?

I wish there was some kind of formula to use for this but there isn't. Nail service prices are based upon many factors such as the area you plan to work in, your experience level, the competition's prices and much more. I'm sorry, but there is no easy answer to this question. I've known techs to use many different approaches to pricing - some successful, some not. Being so new to the nail industry, I think the best place for most new techs to work is in an established salon. This will help you to gain experience and build your skills at the same time. It is not uncommon for it to take 2-3 years or more to build up enough clientele so that you have a 'full book.' Yes, it can and has been done much sooner but that is the exception, not the rule.


Also, during bad economical times such as we are currently experiencing, many people will need to either cut back or completely eliminate 'luxury' spending such as visits to a spa, nail services and so on. This is not a good time for many nail techs and/or salons and many are finding themselves doing less services than they were prior to the recession. That said, working in an established salon may help during this slump because they typically have a much larger client base than solo techs - especially those without many clients to begin with,


So yeah, it does take time and effort to make it in this field. It can be done, but you have to persevere. Never, ever give up. That means working nights, weekends, some holidays too. You need to do whatever it takes to build your book. It will NOT happen overnight but it will happen with hard work and much effort on your part. Its known as 'paying your dues.' Once you have enough experience and your skills are fine tuned you can go out on your own and have a much greater chance of being successful than if you were to try it right out of school. Like I said, it can be done but that is not typically the case. When you've built up a solid client base, they most likely will follow you when you move from the salon to go out on your own - provided they are happy with the services they have been receiving. You see, its all about the client, not the tech. This is especially true when you first start out as a tech but it holds true to a great degree even after you've established yourself. What I mean is that you must be willing to work hours that are the most convenient for your customers. A new tech has a very slim chance of making a name for themselves if they choose to work part time on only certain weekdays - no nights or weekends. That is a recipe for disaster. Like I already said, that means working nights and weekends. Long days and nights - many times you will find yourself with only one or two clients - if any, booked for any particular day. But, you need to be there just in case a walk-in needs nail services or maybe you get a last minute call for an appointment. If you aren't there ready to work, they will simply go somewhere else that is open and who can do their nails. That person may have become a regular, but not a chance now.


Is this making sense to you? Is it helpful at all? I hope it is! Look, what I just wrote is only MY opinion and nothing more than that. We all have our opinions and beliefs and you just need to go with whatever works best for you. Either way, best wishes in your new career! In my opinion, its the best job I ever had. I wouldn't leave nail the industry for anything because I LOVE what I do. I hope you will also feel that way as well once you get going in your career!!!Nail Service %26amp; Pricing Help ?
