Health and safety is a fundamental part of working professionally as a nail technician. Yet for many people, it’s one of the areas they feel least confident in, especially once they’re working independently or outside of a training environment.

Most nail courses teach you how to do nails — but not how to run a nail business.

That’s where many nail technicians struggle. Pricing feels uncomfortable, policies are unclear, and admin takes over creative time. Over time, this can lead to burnout, under-charging, or feeling stuck despite being fully booked.

Strong business foundations are what allow nail techs to earn well, work sustainably, and feel confident in their decisions.
