The Cost of your Nail Training

The cost of getting your nail technician license will change from country to country and state to state.  If you are in the united states, you will first want to check out the website of your local board of cosmetology.  They will have requirements on the hours of training necessary for you to take the nail tech exam.  You will also want to check with them about the cost of the nail exam and what equipment will be necessary and whether you must bring your own or not.  Once you know how much schooling you need you will be better prepared when approaching the various nail schools in your area.

I would suggest calling three nail schools in your area.  You can find them online, through the phone book, or by contacting your local nail or beauty salon and asking where their nail techs were trained.  You want to get three nail school’s info so that you have some comparison of the program outline and the cost of the course.  Since you know the number of hours required for your license you can tell whether they are covering more or less then is necessary. Once you have those prices i would also compare them to the price of your local community college to see whether their is a huge price difference or not.

If you live in the UK or most other areas out of the US, you most likely have a much wider range of options for getting licensed.  You can check out nail courses online or other home based nail courses as well, and the cost difference can be quite different for in class training.

The Payoff for Nail Technician Courses

On average, according to Payscale.com nail technicians can make anywhere from $27,000 to $36,000 a year, depending on the services offered as well as the hours worked etc.  The above salary is assuming approximately 40 hours a week.  I have found that in the salon industry, if you are good you can set your own price, and as long as you have clients you can make as much as you want.  If you own a salon, you can also earn a percentage of what your employees make as well.  Find a popular nail tech at a prestigious salon in your area and have a conversation with them about wanting to get into the nail business, ask them for tips and see if you can work out what they make a session as well as what they make a year.

One of the things to consider about getting a nail technician license or additional nail training is the ability to work for ones self as well as work as an employee.  If you want to work for a salon, there are many salon’s that will take you as an employee and take care of your taxes, your hourly rate and whatever benefits you negotiate.  There are also many other salon’s that will only rent you space and allow you to work as an independent contractor.  When you work in this way, you have the ability to set up a business as a sole proprietor, or any other business entity.  When you operate as a business instead of an employee you have many legal tax benefits available to you that many employees do not have access to.  Make sure to hunt down some information online and set up a meeting with a CPA to verify your findings or ask any questions you haven’t been able to find answers for.

Choose Your Own Adventure

The numbers above should help you decide whether or not to take your nail training and get licensed or not.  If you are already a working nail technician, hopefully this information will help you decide whether the nail training you are planning to get will be worth your time and money.

If you have a career plan for yourself, using this information will be a lot easier.  Do you want to be a nail tech and work in a great salon?  do you want to own your own nail salon?  do you want to become a nail trainer yourself?  do you want to open a nail school?  How much nail training you need will be absolutely dependent on where you want to go.  for some of the above cases you won’t need anymore nail tech courses then you have already taken, for some you may need a great deal more.

That’s all for today.  I hope that this information helps you answer the questions that you may have had about whether nail technician courses are worth it or not.
