Every state has their own rules and training requirements. So first; find out what they are. Then try experimenting on yourself and then friends until you find the right products for you and until you know you have a knack for it. Its an art , not a science so if you are not artistic it might not be for you. I used to teach people to do nails and I had one woman that was so bad she polished the nail and it was on the skin...almost up to her knuckles. She knew it wasn't for her and I knew it too. I gave her money back and told her to find some other career.
So practice practice practice..that is if you have the talent for it. What type of qualification do i need to become a nail technician?
You must go to a trade school and get liscensed to do nails.
Instead of cutting the nails, visit Home Depot and get some small steel files used for filing metal. These little files will cut right throught hard toenails like hot butter. This way you do not have the risk of cutting someone.
When you get your liscense, go to your local home health care company and tell them you want to visit the elderly at home to do their toenails for $50 each patient.
If you want to succeed, find something to do for money that no one wants to do. Then do it very well and charge plenty to do it.
No one wants to cut elderly people's toenails, not even family members. Explain to the family that with the high cost of gasoline etc you will have to charge them $50 to do it at home. Mention that the charge to have a car door opened when you lock your keys in is $50 and they don't really do anything. IF they come at night they charge $75.
The trick is finding the customers. If you can solve this, keep it a secret. Then you can hire other liscensed nail technicians to work for you while you locate the customers and run the business.
