Does anyone know how much a nail tech gets paid?
According to the BLS, www.bls.gov, the occupation of nail technician is projected to grow as fast as the average for all occupations. The projections go through the year 2014. The average nail technician made $19,800 in 2004.
I an looking for a nail tech who uses tammy talor product can someone help me please with a location thanks!?
I know techs who use TT, but your question doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, they are located all over the U.S. and other countries. You need to be more specific in terms of 'location.'
Has your nail tech cut you so bad you bled?
I got my nails done yesterday and my cuticles have sores on them from that idiot cutting me. i have 5 cuts on each of my 5 fingers. It's horrible. How do you sooth those cuts? it's burns just to wash my hands with water. I hate this. Please help me. I am a nail person ,why didn't i do my own nails! Uggh.. :)Has your nail tech cut you so bad you bled?

Hours to become a nail tech?
Ok, so I wanna go to school to become a nail tech. I live in Tennessee, which I don't know if it makes a different which state. lol.
Does anyone know the general amount of hours/months it should take to become a nail tech?Hours to become a nail tech?
Here is a link to a chart that lists all 50 states and their requirements for nail technicians. I hope this helps!

I'm from Alabama and it's 750 hours. Most likely, tennessee is the same thing. My suggestion is to go to a (popular) nail salon and ask where they got their license. Also, check out the Paul Mitchell school in Antioch, Tn and see if they do nails there. Good luck!

I'm starting a new job tomorrow as a nail tech...Any helpful advice would be appreciated :)?
Take pride in your profession. Learn all you can. Never think you know it all and always be willing to learn and grow.
Show up when you say and be on time. Don't cancel for any reason other than being sick or an emergency.
Be a good listener. Be positive. Be friendly.
Dress appropriately. Shower daily. Do your hair and make-up. Don't wear sweats or raggy clothes. Your clients want you to look professional. If you dress professionally, you feel the part.
Be willing to sit there, day in and day out, as you build your clientele. You can't build it if you are not there. Be willing to give away some free services (or reduce the price) to get them in the door. It's up to you to get them to want to come back and re-book.
I've been doing nails for 16 years. I have a full clientele. I have one available appointment between now and the first week of December. I didn't get that clientele without working for it.I'm starting a new job tomorrow as a nail tech...Any helpful advice would be appreciated :)?
Be yourself......take your time and ask questions. dont be afraid to ask for help and when you are talking to clients, really listen and give honest answers. A lot of clients want a relaxing time and dont even talk to you during their services, and thats nothing personal, its just that everyone is different. ask them what they like and what they need. you are providing a service that they are paying for, so make it about them. good luck and have fun, its a great career.I'm starting a new job tomorrow as a nail tech...Any helpful advice would be appreciated :)?
Look your very best, freshen your breath every so often, wash your hands between clients, and for chats, make general statements that involve nothing personal.
Personal grooming.
Your n a line of work that emphasises personal grooming and fashion. Ensure that you look neat and clean, maybe a little fashionable if it's your style. And, as you're a nail technician, I'd make sure that my hands look moisturised and that the nails are, atleast, neatly filed and presentable.

I'm a new nail tech and I need help figuring out prices for my nail services...?
I don't want to cut myself short on profits but I don't want to ';over charge'; clients since I am a new nail tech and still a little rough around the edges. I thought about matching my prices to those of the nail salons in Wal-Mart until I get more experience.I'm a new nail tech and I need help figuring out prices for my nail services...?
i created my prices the same way....check out the chop shops in your area (asians) as well as the high end salons and get your prices right in the middle....you're right you dont want to cut yourself short but you also dont want to knock your clients over the head either....so get somewhere in the middle...normally the asians charge 12-15 for a f/s and the higher ends charge 25-45 so your price could be between 20-22...but also keep in mind if you're buying your own products...if you're going to be a booth renter then there shouldnt be a problem but if you're doing commission or hourly then its up to the shop you're in to set the prices....if you would like check out my profile here and come on join my yahoo group....put in the reason you want to join that i answered your question on answersI'm a new nail tech and I need help figuring out prices for my nail services...?
ny nail lady charge $20 for a full set and $15 for a fill i think those r good prices
manis - 10$
pedis- 30$
waxes :
eyebrows-8
half legs - 15
whole legs-30
half arm- 10
whole arm- 20
bikini- 25
brazillian-45
... ect.
I think that's a good idea. What about offering them a punch card of some kind, with a freebie, like for instance after 5 full sets and /or 10 fills they get one full set free, or maybe a free airbrush or jewels if they bring in another person, or something along that line. Just to get a regular clientele built up. And giving nice hand massage %26amp; a compliment will make them feel all warm and fuzzy towards you, more likely to come back than a ';fast food'; type nail job where they are treated like cattle, get 'em in %26amp; out and never look 'em in the eye. Good luck and enjoy your career.
seems you have the answer. find what people are charging as wal-mart, the little shops in outlet malls, even at hair salons. you can be from 50 cents to 2 dollars cheaper. you have to make that call. make sure you cost of materials is getting paid. make sure you make enough for your time and labor. you want repeat customers do not rush to get them out fast. do quality work not quantity. you want a good reputation. i do it for my painting company and it has worked keeping me living for the past 4 years. at first it was hard to adjust. we have ups and downs. do it right you will last. you can fly with it or end up crashing. provide a happy calm environment. make them want to come back and be anxious to return. you want them to walk out and be amazed with how great you were. keep clean equipment and work station. see if i were in to what you do. i would find a way to buy nail polish products in a small bulk order. make small gift for the customer with like nail polish, foot file, sample product such as lotion or foot wash. something like that. and just stand the 3 items up and wrap with fabric and tie with fabric string. i would not give to the customers getting a basic this would go to the ones that pay for the works and pay good money. you want them to come back. make sure you get stuff in light neutral tones. it does not have to be just nail polish it can be small bottles of wash, cream, and foot file. something like that. well i can go on with more ideas but i am sure you can figure out what will help keep the customers coming for your service and paying good and returning all the time. good luck

You should go around and look at prices of competing nail salons in your area of business.
