Are you sick of feeling underpaid as a Nail Tech? This is for you.
You’re not alone, and you’re not dreaming. Did you know that the average nail tech in the UK earns just £8.70 per hour? That's more than £2 BELOW the national living wage!
Nail techs are some of the most skilled workers, putting in some of the most hours. So how are you supposed to build any real life on these poverty wages? No wonder you feel like it’s impossible to get ahead, let alone to plan for your future by contributing to savings or a pension plan.
But what if you could double, triple, or even quadruple your income: How would your life change?
Believe it or not, it’s not that far off.
This April 8th marks National Nail Tech Price Increase Day: A bold but incredibly simple initiative to help nail techs finally start earning their true worth by raising their prices.
I've spent over 10 years in this industry and I’ve witnessed too many incredible nail artists get taken advantage of by accepting to be underpaid.
When you stop to think about it, is it not truly shocking that those making clients look and feel beautiful can barely afford basic living expenses themselves?
I get it, the thought of raising prices can be scary. We've all had that nagging fear: "What if I lose clients? What if they think I'm too expensive?"
But here's the hard truth: keeping prices artificially low to avoid that fear is slowly killing your business.
It's time to flip the script from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Your ideal clients will happily pay for the value you provide. The ones who balk at fair prices? They were never a good fit anyway. Don't let a fear of losing money stop you from making more.
Think about all the costs required to run your business: The products, tools, rent, insurance, websites, booking systems. When you undercharge, you're operating at a deficit before you even start. It's unsustainable, and ultimately unfair to your ideal clients who love you and want you to stay in business.
So let's make April 8th the day we all find our courage. Research proper pricing for your area and services. Incredible resources like the Nail Tech Org, Boss Your Salon, and Nail Tech Tribe can guide you.
And if you need a simple, powerful booking solution to supercharge those new prices, something built specifically for solo beauty pros like you? Well, I may know a thing or two about that...
