Rep Power: 0 | im desperately searching for a nail tech for my tanning salon. ive considered putting an ad in the local paper, but that runs something like $300 with not much guarantee of results. iv heard about getting ahold of some type of "list" that you can buy from the state dept. i believe? it lists all the licensed nail techs in your particular area and their contact info. ive done a bit of searching online and came across this website. http://appsext4.dos.state.ny.us/lcns_public/lcns_query.bus_name_search_frm its a search for new york state licensees. i select my county, and then search for "nail" or "nails" at-least 160 names came up. i plan on sending out a mailing to everyone on this list thats at-least somewhat close to my salon. am i on the right track here, or not? also, isn't this a listing of people who are already either owners or people working at nail salons? why would they want to come rent a space at my salon ? any other tips for finding a nail tech for a salon would be much appreciated! thanks |

Rep Power: 0 | Advertising will work but so does word of mouth. We have 3 nail techs, we provide most of the equipment and we take a % in thier sales/service. We do not charge a rent.Also have RMT and do Micro Abrasions etc etc. Great for networking we have kicked *** with our new competitor down the street. Make sure you have an air cleaner next to your nail tech or vent outside though. (or use gels) |

Rep Power: 0 | weve tried word of mouth and nothing really materialized. we have a sign up in the window advertising "nail space", i know that isnt much but that hasnt brought many serious folks in. im not against advertising but $300 is a lot if theres no payoff in the long run. anyone have any advice about contacting licensees who are on this list that i provided a link for? |

Rep Power: 0 | It all depends on how your salon and airflow are set up. We had 5 nails techs and never had a problem with tanners complaining. We has since closed our nail area and added more beds----best move we could have made! Beds don't argue, call in sick or have PMS all at the same time I would suggest calling your local beauty school. They might know of recent graduates looking for work. Check with your state licensing agency to check on requirements for licensing a nail salon. Each state is different but ours requires that you have a separate license from your tanning salon. There also is a requirement of having a salon manager with at least 6 months experience so unless you are licensed you would have to employ someone who has already worked for several months. Good Luck |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Nail Tech for Tanning Salon: How to Find one? I am thinking about putting a nail tech in my salon, she would be renting a room, the room is the perfect size for all the equipment and displays that would be needed. But I am unsure because I don't want to have to deal with the smell or installing a ventalation system. Would I really need one if there is only one nail tech in a seperate room? |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: Nail Tech for Tanning Salon: How to Find one? We have one nail tech in about 1400 sq ft. She is open to everything, (not in room) and it is not a problem at all. First of all, one nail person can only turn out so many people a day... it's really no big deal. And it is a great stady booth rental income for owner, as well as new possible tanning clients. Good Luck!!
