I only have one client but she is faithful every 2 weeks a new set. I know more will come. But young nails gloss top coat got her. Lol she loves it. Oh and the protien bond her nails stay on forever. So thank you for helping me build my brand, and giving great approach advice. Saving up now to take a class from you all.
Fortunately we live in a time where social media travels faster and can book more appointments than foot traffic.I believe you can do anything you put your diligence to and it doesn’t have to take years. This is 2023 🎊
Everything you guys said sounded so familiar! I’m 18 months in the game now and I’ve really built my clientele up to where techs with 25 years in tell me how shocked they are I’m as busy as I am so soon after getting licensed. I went straight to booth rent out of school and if it wasn’t for my husband making enough to cover my desk rent I’m sure my story would be different. I made enough to pay my rent the first time in my 4th month. I changed salons in my 10th month and was terrified I would lose people but everyone followed. I was definitely being accommodating, you need a 7pm appointment? You bet. Go in for one person on a Wednesday? Absolutely. If someone wanted to come see me, I was there. I had a cardiac arrest a few days before my 1 year anniversary and was down for a while. I recovered quicker than the Doctors expected and when I went back after being gone a month, all my clients were there and ready for me. They became the accommodating ones, whenever I needed them to come in they were great about it because they like what I do and they like being my client. I couldn’t do pedicures for 6 months and they all understood and now that I’m cleared they are all ready for me. I’m taking comfort in looking forward to the 2 year mark, hoping my book will be full then (I’m close now that I’ve added my pedicures back in) and I’m working towards in 5 years when my husband retires we won’t need him to get a retirement job (our kids will still be in school). So, great advice and definitely everyone should pay attention to it. Hustle your bootie, sit at the desk and wait for the phone to ring while practicing on a fake hand or your own hand. Wear your nails, carry your business cards and good luck to us all!!
This was an excellent biz talk.... Although I have been a nail tech since 1999... I consider myself to be a beginner just because, I was out of the industry for a very long time... coming back in this past year and a half I've learned so much... I think If social media would have been going back then I would have never stopped... it was truly hard back then my children where little and my time was limited.... it's so easy to get your work out there now... also products are so much better... thank u guys for always putting out great information...
I am in the same boat, I was licensed in 1992 and had built a steady clientele but due to raising children and needing the insurance that my full-time job provided, slowly, I got out of the nail business completely. I have gotten back into it and reinstated my license over the past few years. Now, the only thing that I can imagine is to continue in the business until I have not one but at least two salons. Young Nails and Biz Talk have been invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I started doing nails in 1989, I was 18. I recently retired at 49. I wish someone would have talked to me about planning for retirement. One of the hardest things to figure out was managing my business investment, meaning this is my income, this is my over head, I'm paying myself x amount and investing x amount into ie: advertising, training, supplies, equipment, etc. In our industry there are no paid vacations, sick leave, 401k, employer matching. When your a business owner, all of that is up to you.
@@msbscott4277 hello, I am setting up to do you tube videos, offering tutorials, doing lives to answer questions, and offer give a ways for new nail techs. It's been rough, hangingnit up. I have health issues that demanded it.
Rhonda, this is an excellent point and something that everyone should be thinking about! I hope that the YN team will undertake this specific question at some point in time with some of their own killer ideas on how to tackle this specific part of the career choice?
I'm super excited I just started like literally haven't even done my first sight so I know I have so much to learn it's always good to learn from someone that has a decade of experience🙌🙌💖
Loved this! It's not only for beginners, I've been doing nails for 5 years and my clientele still ain't full so I'm still putting in the hours and grinding, its non stop, and I love it
Omg, can I just say, this has been one of your most inspirational ‘biz talk’ for me. I feel so inspired and so motivated that I am in the right career path. I have my goal sets and hearing your guest walk me through it the way she did. Amazing! Love it, love you guys! When I master hard gel and move into acrylics Young Nails is my go to products. Could you link Rhi’s social media account? Xx 💋
Thank you for this, I got my license in November but have not been doing nails much just on my daughters and myself. But hopefully soon I will have my own space to start doing nails and proving to my husband that I can make money by doing nails and choosing my own hrs. Now to start building clientele will be my priority. :)
Great topic! Still on the hussle myself but my advice would be don’t start with a low price to attract new clients, cause now it will take me forever to get at a decent number😩. Love the tip of complementing some one one their nails to start a conversation👌🏼
I'm newly licensed and trying to figure out how to set up my prices and this is where I get stuck. I don't want to charge so low that it'll take forever to get prices up but I also don't want to overprice since I'm a newbie.
Base pricing is one thing but always charge additional for art. We have a biz talk on how to set prices as well as a how much series that breaks down pricing for art
Orange Moon_ - Yelp helped me. I looked at the salons around me and judged by their prices. Look for salons that are like the one you are in or are similar to what you do. If you aren’t a walk in chop shop, don’t look at theirs. Also, don’t worry about being new, worry about being good. Believe me when I say the walk in salons are charging the same price whether it’s a student doing someone’s nails or an advanced tech.
i've only been doing this since 2012 and my best advice to beginners is #1 Make sure you enjoy your employer as much as your job. Its never worth it to be miserable #2 Take your time honing your skills. I've only been doing this for 7years and I dont offer acrylic services yet because I am a perfectionist. I want my acrylic sets to be quality. #3 Don't be too hard on yourself. #4 You can still make hella money doing only natural nails and pedicures!!
Relief! I worked at a day spa that offered only natural nails and i seen how much money I was making just by doing natural nails and now i have my own business that will open on the 24th im still a little nervous that I'm not doing acrylic at the moment but i have to stick to my guns because id rather do good natural nails vs bad acrylic nails and perfect my craft before offering them!!!
I am not a pro yet but SO MANY people comment on my nails, and I love commenting on someone else nails. I am always looking for new designs. Manifestation is REAL also agree on the continuing education both pieces of info good advice. I would rather do 11 hour days for myself than my day job. I love that you said it isn't for the faint of heart also I can imagine the levels of frustration I will face I had a friends nails that I just recently did and she was giving me so much feed back when she left I broke down but I still intend to do this for myself. Rhi is so real love her!!! more biz talk with her PLEASE!!!!
Thank you for this one, I have decided to go booth rent and this has given me the inspiration I needed, God bless you all for the incredible guidance and advice you provide 🙏🏼💚
Wearing 2 different sets, different colours always starts a conversation. 18 years later I still get new calls because of this. Fortunately for me I’m now able to say “I’m so sorry, I’m not taking any new clients right now”
I’m one of those people that somehow miss the everybody is a beginner when they start. Nobody starts out charging $90 for nails😂. I love the Biz Talks so much. Actually, I love Young Nails!!!! I know when I get out of school I’ll most likely start in a salon that will provide products, but I’m looking forward to being a Tracy and Rhi and using Young Nails in my own salon. Thanks for being so informative and interactive .💙
Hiiii 😊 I was wondering if you could make a video about allergies that happens to the nail technicians because of the wrong use of the products..i mean the mistakes that we might do with the acrylic and everything else ..you know like touching the skin with the acrylic liquid or with the gelpolish..😊
WOW, what a great inspiration! YESS!! I NEED GOALS! I love this ,that your talking to several other techs ! We live in Wisconsin, but want to move to Az! Thanks guys!
I must have myself a guardian angel sitting on my shoulder. Not only has your videos kept up with my school experience and the fact that my teacher is an avid follower. I was sitting on ybe floor working out my budget and client requirment. Seriously the gremlin in my phone made this video start playing now i will take picture's and tag you on my Instagram. It's an amazing journey that i'm taking on and it is so much better with young nails being in it. I will meet you one day when i take your continuing education class. Until then thank you
seriously needed this today!!! I BRAG about young nails in my small town lol your education, nail demos, and what your company stands for and teaches. You guys definitely inspire. I do have a question, I considered myself a beginner because I gave up nails for a long time. The main reason was because I was no good, I never learned. I recently quit my full time job and got a part time job so that I could also do nails part time, I figured it was better than not doing them at all. Unfortunately I have to have some sort of income coming in, because I'm a full time mom and we have bills that require both my baby's dad and myself fulltime jobs. I'm doing nails from home and have the full set up table, tools, polishes, disinfectants ect. I know I should be in a salon but because I live in such a small town in the middle of nowhere in Missouri its hard having a lot of options on where to go or even apply. I am not in a position to open up my own salon financially either. What would you recommend for someone in this sort of situation? I'm still learning acrylics as well but finally getting clients to return for fills and appoitments and getting new people. I also still need to work on speed and need to up my acrylic application game. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated good and bad.
Keep doing exactly what you are doing! when building that is an ideal way to go that way like you said you have an icpme coming in while you build. As you start gaining clientele you can start tapering off the regular job.
Thank you, i started with cero client. And know i'm fully booked. Cause of you advice. I'm following every trick and tips of young nails on insta on facebook. You tube. the last 2years, i started to follow you daily... i stop with commision and I started last year with booth rent. And every thing is going better. I take seminars it don't work for me Spending a lott of euro''s waist of time & money, and i learn nothing.. I watched you guys and i got result..thankful. to God that i saw young nails on you tube a few years ago. God bless you Young Nails. You help me bring food on a table for my family💞💞💞 i start 9:00 and i'm home 22:30.
I would like some advice or suggestions; I’m “new” at doing nails. I went through school and purchased a nail salon right out of school. (Now 2 years ago). My salon has been the only nail salon in my town. The next closest one is 30 min away. So through these last 2 years I watch almost every video to learn more tips & tricks to better my craft. I have a relatively large returning clientele plus walk ins. I remodeled the shop last year and added a hair salon as well to add extra income. (Stylist booth rent) I am the only licensed Manicurist in town. Now there is a new salon opening up in the next couple months who offer lower prices and faster services (mediocre quality). They own the salon 30 min away. I know competition is good, however, my salon & services aren’t based on quick in and out, it’s based on customers coming in and relaxing, enjoying the atmosphere, great conversations. Ideas? Suggestions?
I really like this video it helped a lot. my question is I just got back into nails I just got my license not to long ago, in my area I would love to charge more money but no one will pay it!!! I know $35 for a fullest is way too low but the most I can charge is 45. I'm still a beginner and I think that's what my issue is that I don't want to charge more because I'm still learning. I dont know I'm so lost.
You need to have confidence in yourself, that is 1/2 the battle. It's not our job as the nail techs to budget for your clients, nails are a luxury and cost $$
Honestly I’ve been doing nails for over a year and and I’ve got a full book of clients and i start my pricing at 35 but the way i make my money ls by charging for shape length and design so the full set price ends up at 50 to 90 most of the time 🤷🏻♀️ so it’s fine if you start your sets at 35 just make sure to charge extra for the extra time & products and you’ll be set 💰
If YOU don't think ur worth more than $35, nobody else will either... Clients that truly respect the 'art' of good, quality nails won't hesitate to pay what they are worth. And if they do hesitate, u probably don't want them as clients anyway 😜 I'm only very very new to this industry also and I now understand so much better, how much skill, talent & passion is actually involved in creating lovely nail enhancements... So now it's up to me to educate my potential (& current clients) about what's truly involved in a full set, so that they understand the value as well. If you think u are worth more than $35, then charge more... The clients that actually respect your effort and talent will keep coming back. The rest will just keep on 'salon shopping' for the cheapest set around, while never being fully satisfied with their nails! Best of luck lovely! 🤩
Question on behalf of wearing your work (this may sound crazy) but can I wear my work on one hand ( my non dominant hand)? it's so much easier to do my non dominant hand as a form of practice.
That would be something that is case by case depending on your state. Best case scenario is to build up your clientele then move into your own place once you are feeling like you are ready
I'd imagine it would take a long time to stop working Saturdays especially With most customers being busy working professionals. I could totally see the customers being worried about that. Beauty is important. Us woman spend lots of 🕑 and 💰 on our looks, and nails are important!
Can you please do a video about money management within the industry? Nobody ever really talks about it, as if it’s a taboo subject. Advice for someone just starting would be great.
Im new to this and have sooo much to learn...l have a question...i have been trying to gain clientele so ive been offering if you refer 4 people and they get a set done you get a free fill in...is that ok because im trying to gain clients or am i hurting myself and losing money
I'm terrified 9f ever leaving my day job and I am so unsure about approaching a salon to rent a chair at because I don't even know if I'd make that money back...
Im in the same situation. I found a salon that allows me to pay them rent by a pourcentage of revenue I make. That way, im not too stressed about spending money i dont have :)
Amazing!! Thanks for your insight Rhi! As someone just getting ready to graduate and take my boards, I am working on strategies and this was perfect!!! Can I follow you on IG? Thanks Habib and YN for the constantly bomb education!
i really appreciate you referred to her as 'nail artist'. I prefer to use that term for myself always. i feel the term nail technician is undermining and is incomplete description of us
Minette Oberholzer I here you and I did quit. I’m back in again, thanks to YN on RUclips! I converted entirely to their products and I will never look back! You can do this!
I only have one client but she is faithful every 2 weeks a new set. I know more will come. But young nails gloss top coat got her. Lol she loves it. Oh and the protien bond her nails stay on forever. So thank you for helping me build my brand, and giving great approach advice. Saving up now to take a class from you all.

You need to have confidence in yourself, that is 1/2 the battle. It's not our job as the nail techs to budget for your clients, nails are a luxury and cost $$
Honestly I’ve been doing nails for over a year and and I’ve got a full book of clients and i start my pricing at 35 but the way i make my money ls by charging for shape length and design so the full set price ends up at 50 to 90 most of the time 🤷🏻♀️ so it’s fine if you start your sets at 35 just make sure to charge extra for the extra time & products and you’ll be set 💰
If YOU don't think ur worth more than $35, nobody else will either... Clients that truly respect the 'art' of good, quality nails won't hesitate to pay what they are worth. And if they do hesitate, u probably don't want them as clients anyway 😜
I'm only very very new to this industry also and I now understand so much better, how much skill, talent & passion is actually involved in creating lovely nail enhancements... So now it's up to me to educate my potential (& current clients) about what's truly involved in a full set, so that they understand the value as well.
If you think u are worth more than $35, then charge more... The clients that actually respect your effort and talent will keep coming back. The rest will just keep on 'salon shopping' for the cheapest set around, while never being fully satisfied with their nails!
Best of luck lovely! 🤩
What! You're in Tempe. My shop is in Mesa. I love your work!
You guys should be nail friends!
Question on behalf of wearing your work (this may sound crazy) but can I wear my work on one hand ( my non dominant hand)?
it's so much easier to do my non dominant hand as a form of practice.
Loved this Biz talk!!
❤️❤️
Very inspiring!
Any advice on how to go from employed at a nail salon to going selfemployed at a salon or even mobile please?
That would be something that is case by case depending on your state. Best case scenario is to build up your clientele then move into your own place once you are feeling like you are ready
I'd imagine it would take a long time to stop working Saturdays especially With most customers being busy working professionals. I could totally see the customers being worried about that. Beauty is important. Us woman spend lots of 🕑 and 💰 on our looks, and nails are important!
So true!
This is 🔥 thanks for sharing
❤️❤️
Awesome biz talk!
thanks
Can you please do a video about money management within the industry? Nobody ever really talks about it, as if it’s a taboo subject. Advice for someone just starting would be great.
For sure thanks for the suggestion
Great Advice! I would like to talk about money management and online booking vs booking your own appointments.
I’m still $4,000 for nail tech school 14 years ago? Wow in NYC 2020 our classes are less than $3,000
I started a month ago and let me tell you I have never clicked as fast as I did
haha awesome
Ma home gurl!!!!!
haha yes
I realy like the back ground.
So fun
Im new to this and have sooo much to learn...l have a question...i have been trying to gain clientele so ive been offering if you refer 4 people and they get a set done you get a free fill in...is that ok because im trying to gain clients or am i hurting myself and losing money
yea that's a great option! and good to do fills as the reward because obviously it's not as costly on your end
I'm terrified 9f ever leaving my day job and I am so unsure about approaching a salon to rent a chair at because I don't even know if I'd make that money back...
A lot of people feel that way!
Im in the same situation. I found a salon that allows me to pay them rent by a pourcentage of revenue I make. That way, im not too stressed about spending money i dont have :)
@@chloeparis5195 that sounds like a good solution x thank you!
You're going to be afraid, so you might as do what you need to do afraid!
On socal media iget show me proof of insurance, crertifcation, state lic. What do you tell then?
So where can I get one of those baseball caps 🤔?

Amazing!! Thanks for your insight Rhi! As someone just getting ready to graduate and take my boards, I am working on strategies and this was perfect!!! Can I follow you on IG?
Thanks Habib and YN for the constantly bomb education!
Her insta is @nailsensationaz
i really appreciate you referred to her as 'nail artist'. I prefer to use that term for myself always. i feel the term nail technician is undermining and is incomplete description of us
I hear ya
Do you feel someone who's 50 should be thinking about changing careers and becoming a nail tech?
You should if it is something you would enjoy! still plenty of time, young of young nails started the company when she was 49
@@youngnailsinc that's inspiring
What is Rhi’s Instagram???
