Kathy’s Answer

Hello!

Many independent nail techs start their businesses right out of their own home! You can dedicate a certain area of your house/apartment/etc. to be your "station", and you can charge people to come over and get their nails done.

Do many people's nails to build a "portfolio" and then post your photos onto Instagram or Facebook to advertise your work.

Then, try to spread the word! You can offer discounts on holidays, offer referral discounts, or more in order to gain traction of your nail business.

Danielle’s Answer

I agree with Kathy's answers, but also have a few other things you can do.

While in school, ask your instructor if it is ok to get email addresses for the people who come in that allow you to practice on them. Then email them when you are done with school with your price list. This may help get a small base going. Then you can give referral discounts to keep growing.

You could also find a salon you really want to work in and intern there.
