According to a study conducted, the cosmetology industry has experienced a more rapid development than other occupations. As you prepare for your new nail salon business, you should prepare for your customers, as well as your competition.
Nail education program
Complete a state-recognized nail salon education program. Establish a firm understanding of manicure servicing, as well as bacteriology, sanitation, sterilization, and reflexology, as required by your state’s cosmetology board. Take, and successfully pass, your state exam to obtain your nail salon certification.
Location
Determine the area in which you want to establish your nail tech business. Research the nail tech demands of that area and identify the potential competition. Research the competition closely. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of those nail salons and determine what strategies your nail shop can use to counteract that competition.
Services
Determine the type of nail services your nail tech business will provide, outside of manicure services. Make a list of those services, such as pedicures, silk wraps, acrylic extensions and fiberglass nails. Identify the equipment and fixtures that your nail salon will require to operate smoothly and efficiently.
