Finally a video that answered all my questions about hiring and pay! Even though this is from 1 year ago I’m opening a nail salon after several years of not working on the nail tech area. Thank you so much
So glad it helped!!
This video helped me more than ever! I’m a salon owner currently building a team. Thank you!
So glad to hear that. Wish you the best hun!
Thanks for sharing this opportunity with the nail salon business owners. That is exactly what the nail tech wants to be treated equally crucial to the beauty industry.
Thank you for sharing! I watched your other videos too. As a nail tech myself and want to open my own nail salon in the future I especially like the tips from “How To Start Your Own Nails Salon”.
Thank you so much!! Good luck with your salon💗
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much I’ve been researching all week on how this work
You're welcome 😊
I'm opening a nail shop with my vietnamese wife. But It's been a long and hard journey. All vietnamese contractors are so busy, so I end up wasting more time in finding plumbers, electrician, and ventilation guys. There aren't many contractors who know what is exactly required for nail shops
. How much an average gross a nail shop do with 2 to 3 people working there?
Consult with your State Board of Cosmetology regarding questions on whether a license is required to perform any portion of a service in a salon. Every State has different requirements and you definitely don't want to get in a situation where you have unlicensed individuals working in your salon and the State doesn't permit it. Also, commission pay does not always equate to 1099 pay so consult with an employment attorney or CPA to discuss. It may seem like a headache, but if you incorrectly classify your employees as contractors when they are not, you run the risk of a lawsuit and the fines alone could put you out of business so be sure to do your due diligence on this topic!
I’m in Michigan I’m going for my boards test tomorrow I worked for almost 8 years doing nails. I graduated from Michigan College of beauty in 1995. I thought I would never go back to doing nails but I’m very excited to. I became a stay at home mom but now I’m ready to work part time again. Are you from Michigan? If you could let me know where your salon is I might want to come work for you or come visit.Thank you for the videos they are very good and helpful!!💅
I’d love to know what state you live in and the price you charge for services. If you are doing pedicures for $50 I don’t see how a salon can survive giving 60% to the pedicurist, but in return I don’t see how the pedicurist could make a living if they didn’t get the 60%. Curious about this part. Thanks
Hello
I have a question I notice that a lot of of nail techs want commission so you saying to do 40/60 owner gets 40 percent and the nail tech get 60 percent from each client plus the tech kept the tip ?
How can I keep tabs on the customers coming in to the nail tech due to not having someone to keep count of walk-in
Thank you for the videos 😊
You can't, so best believe ur workers will pocket sum money, which to me is fair game because you don't pay benefits yet treat your contractors like employees with no real legal standing. Magically the Department of Labor doesn't give a damn about all the endless labor law violations in the nail, hair salon and barber shop industry...
Hello just noticed you need to get check into your doctor.
Love to know more about saloon hair and nails business. I need to know more. Would love to be an owner too
Amazing video. This is my structure for growth for my estheticians. I feel that they grow more and happier to be there. Let me know if you have another social media so I can follow you. 😊
So nice to hear from you!
I'm loving these nail salon videos!!
Thanks beautiful 💗
Hey .. 1.what is the scope of part time job as a nail artist in canada ? 2. Do they also require a license ? If yes then gow to get one ??
When you say 50%is it per client or the total number of clients they serviced that day?
What hours do you have them on?
For being a nail tech. Do we need to be licensed as nail tech or cosmetology license ?
Hey, how do you pay for the no license nail tech when they help by the side (example: Put tip, dipping, shape and design stuff) Thank you
I would pay them hourly
@@maryjkhan is all the nail salon pay should pay by hourly or this is only your way?
Thank uuuuu!!! 😊
Yw❤

Do you think its better to go to nail school or nail apprenticeship?
So I did school but I know that you can get it through apprenticeship. I do feel that apprenticeship might give you more hands on experience compared to school. You do want to check on the price difference and make sure that you read any document you sign for apprenticeship.
@@maryjkhan Okay thanks, I will do. I suppose to start apprenticeship tomorrow because the school in Alabama want $5000.
Great info
How to apply? I am nail technician her in Philippines.
I stay in india, am not a professional nail artist but i want to be nail technician and work in canada, will you hire me ?
I live in the US 🩷
Is it legal to hire unlicensed nail techs ? I live in Ohio
Unlicensed nail techs should not be doing any services with tools that cut. They can help in the salon with polish, shellac, prepping Manis and pedis
@@maryjkhan thanks
Only if u get caught..
What is commission..is it the same as booth rent?
Commission is a percentage a nail tech makes on each service. Booth rental is a different. That's what the tech pays to rent a booth.
@@maryjkhan so if the nail techs pay Booth rent do the owner get a % from their clients also? Thanks for replying ☺️
@@MSCASSIful not if you're paying for booth rental✨️
@@maryjkhan ok.. appreciate the feedback.. Have a great day!
If ur at a busy shop, commission is advanced robbery, at a slower shop, commission might be the only way you eat..
Is it common for owners to take 10% out of credit card tips from nail techs and charge it as a service fee?
Most places don't and I never did it but I'm sure some do. I personally don't like to mess with my techs' tips
Shop owners make up their own rules, all depends on how dumb ur staff is. The average barber, nail tech, hair dresser don't ask questions, so have at it..
in california it is illegal at least in restaurants for the owner to take a percentage of credit card tips. turn it into the Dept of Labor for your state
@@kenhulse5191 lls, good luck with that, and if the Labor Department do show up prepare to be blackballed as far as your current owner and coworkers can run their mouth..
