How to Start a Nail Studio

Open Your Own Nail Salon Imagine owning a fun and financially rewarding business making people's nails look beautiful. Welcome to the nail salon business! About a Career as a Nail Salon Owner If you are currently a nail technician (also known as a manicurist or pedicurist) working for someone else, starting your own nail salon business gives you the freedom and creativity of being your own boss. If you aren't a nail technician yourself, opening a nail salon lets you own a creative and social business in a largely recession-proof industry. Many people, particularly women, consider manicures and pedicures to be an "affordable luxury." You can start a nail salon relatively inexpensively. For example, you can choose to start a mobile nail salon business or, depending on where you live, you may be able to open a nail salon in your own home. Of course, you also have the option of opening your nail salon in a retail location. When you open your own nail salon, you have the luxury of designing the type of nail salon you want, and providing the types of services you want. You can open a neighborhood walk-in nail salon or an exclusive upscale salon. You can open a full-service nail salon with manicures and pedicures of all types, or specialize in particular nail care services such as acrylic nails, gels, wraps, or nail art.
