I’m gonna do a beginner nail tech room tour this week. It’s not a good situation at the moment. It’ll take a good amount of time to get there. I figure a lot of others have to be in a similar situation and we’re so use to only seeing these amazing spaces all put together. Should be interesting. A little embarrassing but it’s real.
Yes!! And film the process as well
Thanks so much for this. I have had my nail license for over 15yrs. I have not done nails in over 13yrs, other than myself and family and friends. But I am sticking my neck out there and converted my garage to my salon. Still have a few more items needed before I start, but I am excited and nervous at the same time. This was very informative for me. Thank you for your selflessness with such valuable information
Thank you!
I’m a beginner only do my nails manicure with regular polish. 😊 I’m about to enroll to get licensed starting a new career, I had no idea how nails was a big thing. And how many people have no license doing it, scary 😨 I love doing nails and excited about this new journey. 🙏💅
I’ve been searching a lot about nails and never really found a video that explains everything like this ,this video was really helpful ,thank you very much much ,do you have an IG page ?
Thank you for your comments! My IG is Keishanails.
I’m about to graduate school and I am overwhelmed about starting my at home business. They don’t teach you anything other than the basics to be able to receive the license. The insurance, the business license. It’s all so much to take in . This was so helpful thank you!
Thank you!!! I am new nail tech, and they do not teach money management. You gained a subscriber.
Bright Blessing sis!!
Thank you! ☺️
This video is sooo good! Thank you 😊💅🏻
So helpful queen ☺️ thank you
You are absolutely brilliant ❤
This video was very helpful 😁 I’m in school to become a nail technician and I’m super excited about my new journey! I subscribe to keep up with you and all your knowledge you give out, thank you 🤍
Thank you.
this was helpful info thank you 😊
Thank you for your knowledge
Good video❤️i’ve heard some reasoning why some nail techs don’t work over others work.most common reason i hear is for not knowing if mma was previously used, if the clients nails were originally done on damaged natural nails, nail diseases etc which may lead to lawsuit. All are good reasons I believe but there’s a way around it. soak off once, inspect their natural nails of course get your product on their nails do a great job and gain that new client. what are your thoughts?
Well in my opinion this is apart of the consultation and prep process... to access the clients nails and determine what is best. Not EVERY situation calls for a soak off. A tech can easily fill in over MMA products and it will eventually grow out. The whole purpose is for the natural nail to grow with little to no lifting so if the prep is done correctly, and the enchantments are taken good care of then it wouldn't be an issue. Thank you for your comment!! 😊💅🏾
I love your advice and your vibe is flowing in my direction.thank you. Blessings from Antigua
Thank you so much ☺️
New subbie and I'm adding nail tech to my Esthetician title.. great vid and information 👌🏾👍🏾

In the new year I’ll be increasing prices to help cover costs
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. I’m currently looking for a virtual school. I’m located in SC.
Thank you for this video. I just got my provisional license and I'm looking for a job in a salon cuz I don't have clients and I think working for a while in a salon will helps me to grow, in the future I want to be self employed ans this video helps me a lot. If you have any advice for me it's highly appreciated.
Yes i agree. Working in a salon is a great first step to building clients and getting use to the workflow in a salon. I recently developed a beauty business planner and workbook that might appeal to you- it will help you out in preparing yourself to go into business for yourself and get organized. You can check it out- the link is below & in the description box! Hope this helps. Good luck 😊

On TikTok I hear a lot of ppl charging a whole lot of money! Good for them but I don’t know how! Maybe they live in an area where ppl have that kind of spare change. That would not go over in my neighborhood
You have to charge according to your area and your clients. Do what they can afford AND enough so you can profit
This next paycheck is gonna be spent on basics and trying a few popular brands for beginners.
I have been working on a milady nail book. I don't have 5,000 dollars for my nail license. I would rather get my certification
I understand. Just know you can't work legally without a license and a certification course is NOT the same and cannot replace school. You need to attend school for required state hours in order to apply for your license.
Thank you!this was so helpful and so very informative you have gain a new follower,👍I have a question and hoping you can help😩 During lock down I just started to practice doing nails from home and from doing my own,to practice hand also friends and family and would like to be certified but I now reside in the state of New York but am thinking of relocating to Florida so should I work on getting my license in the state I reside now?Or would that be a problem to use license in another state? I’m so confused on what to do😩🤔
Hey.. thank so much for your comment! Yes, you would need to look into the process of obtaining a FL license. Each state has different requirements so you may or may not have to complete another exam or school hours in order to receive it. I believe NY is one of the states that ask for the most hours... but don't quote me on that! Check out the state licensing website to see what FL requires as far as school hours and state board exams. Hope that helps! 😉
@@TheNailTeach yesss that was very helpful, appreciate you taking your time, I will look into there website👍thank you and have a blessed day🙏🏻♥️
Could you do a video for mobile nail tech services?
I will try my best! Thank you and continue letting me know what you want to see 😉💅🏾
Very well explained vid.👌
Thank you so much now did you have have state come to inspect your home?
Every state has a different process- not all require an inspection for home businesses.
My goal will be to work from home eventually
I have questions bc I’m considering getting certified and doing a home base I already do my nails my friends and family and I have tons and tons of women wanting me to do theirs bc I post all my work however I can’t legally do it so I turn them down I love doing nails it’s my passion but I want to be home based so I have a lot of questions about that before I go to school i already have the school picked out and the specifics handled but I’m not wanting to jump in till I know more about being a home based nail tech
Starting home based is just as simple as continuing what you are already doing and just growing. I would recommended advertising by word of mouth and social media to start. Make sure you have all your services, pricing, and equipments/supplies in order. I would suggest at least starting school before actually beginning to offer services, but use this time to plan and map out your business. Start to develop your social media platform(s) by gaining followers and begin teasing and showing them what's to come. Never wait to start- you just have to jump sometimes!

3 minutes in and I'm so glad I clicked on this video!
Thank you! Don't forget to subscribe 😉
Got you! :)
Just did 😌
I know this video is old but what about state board? Did you have your location inspected before working? Do you have a sink in your location? Is it mandatory to have a sink?
Hey! When it comes to having an inspection done and all the requirements that go with it, you have to see what your exact state requires. Also, the location could play a part (renting in a space vs. making a space vs. a location in the home, etc). The same goes for state boards- I have a few videos about preparing for the practical exams. Hope this helps!
Hi! I know this video was posted last year but I'm just now stumbling upon it. You said you're a teacher with nails at a school in New Youk state and that your school offers virtual classes... I'm located in Illinois, and I wanted to know was there any way I was able to enroll through your schooling to obtain my license as well? I've been doing nails for years and I definitely don't want me not having my certification to hinder my progress. I don't know any other way to reach out, but if you can provide any information, it'll gravely be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey! Every state is different and has different exams and procedures so you have to enroll in an accredited school that's IN the state you want your license to be in and where you want to work. Hope this helps!
Do you have a separate bathroom and sink for you clients in your home?
Yes there is a small guest bathroom.
Your opinion please? I have been out of the nail buisness for 20 years. I feel comfortable starting out offering pedicures only. What is your advice? TY 😊
If you live in a warmer state where pedicures are needed all year then that would be fine. If not, I would start with just manicures or just manicures and pedicures. You want people to come to you for everything. If you only do feet and they need to go elsewhere for nails (which is usually more important for people) they might just choose to do their feet wherever they get their nails done. Hope this helps ☺️
Do you have to have a cosmetic license? What’s kinda license do you need to have to start ass a side hustle for the time being
If you're just doing friends and family to practice then you really don't need a license. But you will need a nail technology license in order to work and officially take clients. If you take clients (being paid for services) without a license you can get fined and more depending on yours state rules and regulations.
What’s the name of the online school in NY?
I'm not aware of a fully remote accredited school. That was allowed during Covid, but most have been back to in person full time for awhile now
Did you have to work in a salon for a year before you started your own business ?
No I didn't HAVE to ... but I always recommend working in a shop/salon before doing your own thing. There's SO MUCH you can learn from other techs and see how owners run their business. That has helped me over the years know what I want and DONT want for my own business.
Hello, Im in Texas, will your course satisfy the licensing requirements for my state?
Thank you in advance😊
Nooo I'm in a different state and my course is not to license anyone
@@TheNailTeach understood lol, but I could take your classes to do just my wife's nails correct?
I didn’t hear the name of the booking system u mentioned ?
I use StyleSeat but booksy is another good one
Hello. This video was so helpful, thank you. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm in Illinois and I want to start doing nails at home but I can't seem to find answers to my questions regarding rules and regulations. I have searched high and low on the Illinois Dept of Public Health website and the board of cosmetology website and nothing. I don't want to get into trouble for doing so. I am licensed so that's not a problem. Could you possibly point me in the right direction? I have tried calling and emailing with no response. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
These things are usually done through the states gov website... somewhere along registering a business/licensing. Try this link... www.chicago.gov/content/dam/city/depts/bacp/Small%20Business%20Center/sbcfactsheets/Home_Based_Business_Fact_Sheet_10-12-17.pdf
Hope it helps! 😊
Do I need to be licensed to start an at home salon?
Not sure if you mean licensed tech or business license ?
Hello I’ve been struggling to figure this out. I want to start a business at home. But the state board say I need to license my space as a salon. But I also wanted to do lashes and they say I have to have seperate rooms and pay for esthetic and nail license for the business. I am licensed for both just not the salon part. Is it possible to do nails any other way without having to license as a salon business?
I'm not sure which state you're in as you know things vary state to state but you can run your business doing both in home. Yes, you would need to have a business license (that would cover you for both) and have a separate area/space (like one side of the room for nails and the other for lashing), for cross contamination reasons. You would also need to have business insurance that would cover you for nails AND skin incidents.
If you didn't want to do all that I would suggest just working at a salon where you can work both hassle free! Hope this helps.
@@TheNailTeach I’m located in Pennsylvania. I spoke with the state board of cosmetology about lashing and they said no I wouldn’t need the -salon license - doing a business from home with lash extensions. I’m not trying to do a nail salon either but just nails every once in a while because I enjoy doing nail art. So I was hoping to put nails and lashing as an art business (as a lash artist and nail artist) hobby and not a salon and was wondering if it’s possible to run as a business not a salon. I totally get the required implements and separation of the services one in each room. But they told me I need a salon license to do nails and it has to be a seperate room which I don’t have and doesn’t make sense to do if it’s not full time and in the future do not plan on becoming bigger or having employees and it would be one client a day by appointment only. I currently work full time for a hospital so this would probably be a late night business and I would only get to do one or two ppl per week and more on weekends but I try to keep my weekends free.
@@Nailsandlashesbykierra yes, the "salon" which would be your home needs a business license. NOT the same as your nail tech and esthetician license
@@TheNailTeach okay so just a business license and business insurance is what you’re saying??. The state board of cosmetology says it’s unlawful to perform these services if it’s not a licensed salon. So the space I’m using has to have a “salon license through them” not just any business license
If your underage do you still have to worry about taxes?
You would need to check with your state as to what age someone should begin filing taxes. I do believe that until you are 18 (or are still someone's dependent), you don't need to worry about it. Hope that helps!
So is it legally to open a small nail salon at home?
You can have an at home business legally
@@TheNailTeachlike in any state?
Mam if you will add subtitles in your videos it will be more helpful ❤️
Thank you! You can use the closed caption (CC) button during the video for captions.
@@TheNailTeach oh yeah 😅so silly i am thnkuuuuu ❤️❤️
How can I become a student of yours? Can you message me all your information because I've been working day and night for close to two yrs. It's a passion. Im learning everything I can online that's possible and the bigger picture is that I want to get licensed but my fears of these nail schools that don't teach nails but only what the state requires is scary. I won't give my money to a school that's primary idea is to make money off my work. If im a student I want to learn.
I teach at a beauty school so the students are attending to get licensed. And yes, school does mainly cover what needs to be learned for the state board. However I feel as their teacher I try to mix alittle of what NEEDS to be done and what they WANT to learn. I will be offer one on one lessons via zoom if you are interested. Hopefully in the near future I want to offer a full program outside of school. Hope that helps! 🤗💅🏾
Is an at home nail business considered a licensed cosmetology establishment?? 🤔
Yes it is.
Do you need a permit or a liences do u have to have it?????
I plan on doing a full video about this soon 😊
@@TheNailTeach Oki thank you!!!
#thenailtech I would love to have your support and wisdom are you interested in teaching me one on one via zoom
As of now I'm not offering one on one zoom classes, but possibly soon! 😉
Thanks so much for the video. I'm in school to have a nails technician license, and my problem is I don't understand the theory part because am learning in Italian language and I want to get some information
Glad it was helpful!
Omg they have a online nail tech school in New York !? What school !
It was taught virtually during Covid. However, once things began to open again the course is half online and half in school learning.
Do you need a business license if you do services at your home or someone elses home?
Technically no- it's a shady area and varies from state to state. If you are advertising your services publicly then you should obtain a license to be safe. If you are working on a word of mouth basis then you should be fine.
