For me personally, quality is ALWAYS valued. Customers who have never had that or simply can't afford it, will come and go. As a licensed tech, I do my own nails to showcase my work BUT it takes me "forever" to do, just like it would to do my own highlights. I pay someone to do my hair because my time is money, not because I can't do it myself. The DIY industry ends up sorting out customers who will be future techs or proves that real work goes into it to the naysayers. People who don't mind subpar work will always DIY, but that's true for every industry. As with all services, you are providing convenience and/or professional quality, depending on the business model. Choose your niche and like-minded people will be your customers (see the value). If the market isn't there, don't lie to yourself - pivot and find your stride.
I can't be the only nail artist that inflation has hit hard. My clients are not wealthy people, mostly bartenders, restaurant servers, and those on a fixed income, so by November of 2021 most could no longer afford the "extras" for themselves... because food and gas has gone up so much! It's only gotten worse since the holidays. They have to feed their kids and pay their rent before getting their nails done and I don't look forward to that getting better any time soon!
I’m licensed and have been doing nails for a little over a year now and I only average one client a week 😭😭 i hope that this advice helps me out thank you for the tips! 💞
There is also the possibility that those "loyal" clients are now doing nails by themselves. There is a lot of videos on how to do your own nails and doing your own nails, like myself, have found that it is a lot cheaper in the long run.
I love these videos. All I want to do is nails in my home on Sundays (I do nails at a spa on Saturdays) and it has been the most impossible thing to get clients. Your talks really help and make me feel better about the struggle.
Hi, i owned a mobile salon for a few years and now i decided to open a salon(store) while still offering mobile services ones a week. I have also adjusted my prices a little bit($5)at the salon and($10) for mobile services. And now i've noticed a very big dip in my bookings from loyal clients i had for years. What did i do wrong and how can i fix it?
Any time you raise prices, it is possible you may lose a few clients. But that just opens up space for new clients who are willing to pay the extra. Since you have gone from all mobile to only doing mobile once a week, it may be harder for clients to get to the salon rather than you coming to them. Keep promoting your business and you will re-build quickly!

Now that it’s slower my shop is extra clean and I’ve been practicing my application speed. Been going well.
