HOW? This is crazy, I NEEDED this information! Yet again, The timing of this video couldn't have been at a more perfect time!

That’s me. I’ve said that to you before. I love being an employee at this part of my career. I don’t want to be responsible for inventory control, accounting, etc…. I love focusing my energy on fanatic customer service and creating great nail services.

I've been booth renting for 2 years and I have had to make the decision to move into my home. The business in my town just isn't there. There are too many salons in my small town so everyone is spread SO thin. I know of 5 nail Techs that were killing it before Covid that have had to quit because the people in our area are still working from home so they don't do those services any more. I have been just making enough to pay booth rent so I became #6. Tracey tells people all the time "you will fail" ... 🤨 . But at least the clients I do have said they wouldn't care if they have to come to my home..THANK GOODNESS!

I agree . I used to work from home and my clients always tell me that they rather come to my house. Who knows, when I move to boca I might go back to working from home. Will see. I like the booth rent because I get to leave the house but I kind of miss being home.

Working from home my clients feel so comfortable, an so do I an reasonable as well.

I booth rent and thus far it’s gone great! Some weeks I break even but I’ve only been licensed 5 months so I’m quite happy with that

I like how you guys revisits a topic after a year or two.

I recently opened a salon...I didn't want to, but the town I moved to, I couldn't find anywhere within 40 minutes of me that would be okay with acrylic in their space. It is a WHOLE different world from booth rental. I had to work at my home for about a month before opening and that was AWFUL. I am not the person to have people in my home in that way. I definitely see how different situations would work for different people though.

There are so many different variables when comparing the two. Very good topic to talk about!

I have t watched the biz talk in awhile, but I love that it’s back to the conversation format and not a 5 min video. Also, great content as always 🥰

🤔👀something to think about. Thanks 😊 I love these sessions you guys have. Please keep them coming. I'm learning so much. Much love ❤️

Love and appreciate the pros and cons of starting out in the nail business 🥰

Been doing nails for 37 years.. started on commission but for many many years Ive rented.. I feel for the starting out nail tech as here in Nor-Cal at least there are zero salons that do commission.. renting is tough without the clients...

I NEED THIS!!! I graduate cosmetology in a few months and have no clue. Thanks y'all

❤️❤️✅🥳 congratulations!!

Great information thank you for sharing your insight.

Love this topic

Well in school they said you can’t work from home UNLESS, you have a separate bed room or room for nails. Also you need a business license and liability and other insurance. Etc . I’m in NYC. Booth rent you still have to get a business license if you booth rent.

I'm from Australia and home salons are so common, most of the nail techs work from home if it's not one of those walk in ones that don't follow any kind of hygiene etc (we don't need a license here) also the majority of hair dressers that are really good also work from home. So definitely depends on where you are located.

Good morning young nails team!

I work out of my home and I love it !!! Clientele isn’t as hard to build if you use social media!!

Thanks for sharing yes I agree 👍 I'm a beginner so I have a room at home for clients 😊 in the future . I'm not afraid of home business

I am very fortunate to have a general contractor for a husband and we just bought everything to turn my two car garage into a salon. We are in California so we just need a separate bathroom and already have a separate entrance and wheelchair accessible

Great video. I just started taking clients in my home. Haven’t got a client yet but Ive been posting on Instagram

I went straight into renting out of school and I’m about 6 months into a year lease and I can’t tell you how much I regret it!

There’s also some places that pay on a hourly base, as a nail tech I’m trying to see what’s best for me rn but it’s all so confusing

This helped me make a decision about leaving hrly pay. Getting paid twice a week has been a struggle and then not able to get all my tips. I rather rent and work on my own so I can add services the the job now don’t want to offer.

Most salons want you to have experience. I really didn't get much experience in school. I was thinking about working from home so I can get faster and then be able to go to a salon and charge well. What do you think?

If you prefer to work out of your home, that is an option. Just make sure you get the proper licensing required by your state/city to be able to work out of the home legally. There are salons that hire techs with minimal experience and provide training. Sometimes these salons require you to be there for a certain amount of time if they are investing in your training, but it can be very advantageous to both you and the salon. You may just have to check out a few salons in your area. Also check with the school you went to. A lot of times the school will have a placement counselor who works with local salons to assist graduates in finding jobs.

I have been working from home off and on for over twenty years

I recommend getting some experience first before going out on your own, and if you do decide taking clients at your home you must have boundaries and by appointment only, NO EXTRA GUEST, no waiting at your parking space until you’re done none of that,cameras for your safety and your family.

What about a traveling nail tech I was aspiring for that. How do you view that idea for a beginner nail tech?

You would have to determine what's best for you and your business. If you own a rental salon, you would collect the rent from the techs, take care of the property and they would basically run their own business. If you run a commission business, you would have employees you are responsible for.

I’m in California and I’m confused about commission cause I see a lot of salons offering commission but then many other people say straight commission is ilegal and that they have to pay double min wage plus the commission. Do you guys know about this new law in California?? Is it legit or not? Thanks

Check with schools in your area to see if there are any loans/grants you can get. You may also check with local salons/beauty industry companies/supply stores to see if any of them give out scholarships. You might also be able to negotiate an arrangement with a salon you are interested in working at. They may be willing to help you with your tuition/expenses if you sign a contract to work there for a certain amount of time. There are lots of ways to get funding for school, you just have to start researching options in your area. Maybe try doing a quick google search for cosmetology/nail tech scholarships or grants. There are also several professional beauty associations that offer scholarships.

If they turn you in and your doing it at home and you get caught. There are fines and later on down the line, it’s a misdemeanors… nyc

Wish I could take pets to work!!!!😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

These kids today are going to people’s houses. They are buying food off TikTok with no brick and mortar locations. Just pictures on instagram and Venmo…and scamming. It’s scary. But they think booth rental is old school. But it’s secure.

I think the international conversation is important, I don’t live in the usa and I’d say over 90% of nails techs here work from home. I’ve only been to a salon once, it’s just not really a thing

I am renting a booth but i don`t have a choice i don`t have a proper place to do it at home. I`m a new nail tech an don`t want to give up any tips or advice

We would recommend checking with your local state board of cosmetology to determine if you need a salon license for that. Most likely if you are providing services & accepting payment, it would be considered a salon and you would need a license.

Most likely you aren't having a reaction to the forms, but the product you are using to sculpt with. For any type of allergic reaction, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. They can work with you or refer you to a specialist that can determine what exactly you are having a reaction to.
