Nailpro recently caught up with owner .

The booth rental salon is proud of its Build Program, which is geared toward new technicians or technicians coming from a commission or hourly rate salon.

Lauren shares how this model has been a success.

“This allows them all of the amenities and freedoms as everyone else but it puts them on a schedule that takes them a full year to get to the full booth rent cost to allow them time to grow and build their clientele. This has been such a successful program within our salon. As their rent raises little by little every other month, you can tell that there isn’t a worry or stress on how they will pay rent because it’s giving them time and space to grow and improve. I also love having a salon that everyone feels comfortable to ask questions and learn ‘on the job.’ We have such a wide range of team members and every single one of us has been able to learn from each other.”

Nailpro recently caught up with owner Anna Ngock.

The Michigan-based salon added an AI-powered robot for clients who are looking for fast polish and quick manicures.

Anna shared with us how this new technology will help her clients.

“The robot is that one coworker my staff needed to fulfill the need for any guests looking to have a quick service done. Nail techs doing repairs and fixing smudged nails can be taxing and impeding especially when working by appointments. The robot can dish out fast polishes and have the ability to self service smudged polish with the user as well. Our guests have asked to take a photo of the robot to share with family and friends and stopped in the lobby to see it in action. Many would like to try it, and this will bring in a market of regular polish wearers that our salon was not able to fulfill previously. (Prior to this robot, our salon did not offer regular polish services).”

Nailpro recently caught up with , who took 2nd place in the Handpainted Nail Art competition at the 2023 Nailpro Master Challenge.

We’re showcasing the suite she designed to resemble a “girly bedroom,” infused with her love of all things pink and accents of gold.

Our team asked Reina what advice she would give our readers who are new salon owners:

“I would advise them that social media is crucial! While location used to be everything, nowadays, if your work shines on social media, clients will come regardless of your physical location. Keeping your salon or space clean and sanitized is also paramount. A pristine aesthetic not only pleases clients but also encourages repeat visits. Additionally, kindness towards all clients, customers and staff is essential. Making everyone feel valued and appreciated consistently fosters a positive environment and customer loyalty.”
