Home / Services / Hiring, SOPs & systems
Step 4 of the roadmap

Run your nail salon on systems, not on you.

Hiring scripts, pricing, POS setup and checklists for every part of the day, so the salon runs smoothly even when you're not standing at a station.

Why owners burn out

Most nail salon owners start as the best tech in the room. Without systems, they end up doing every job in the building.

Every decision runs through you

Without written processes, staff ask the owner about everything and nothing gets done when you're busy.

Hiring the wrong techs

Hiring in a rush without clear pay terms or a skills test leads to turnover, drama and unhappy clients.

Prices that don't add up

Pricing copied from the salon down the street can leave you busy all day and still short on rent.

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call us at (470) 971-5008.

Should I pay nail techs commission or hourly?

Both can work. Commission rewards busy techs, hourly gives steadier pay while you build a client base, and booth rental shifts more responsibility to the tech. Labor rules on how workers are classified vary by state, so confirm your setup with an accountant or employment attorney.

How do I price my nail services?

Start from your costs, not just your competitors. Know what each service costs you in labor, product and rent per hour, then check local prices to position yours. We build this with you.

What's an SOP?

A standard operating procedure: a short written checklist for a task, like opening the salon or sanitizing a pedicure spa, so everyone does it the same way every time.

Do you recruit nail techs for me?

We give you the job posts, scripts and skills test, and help you run the hiring process. The final hiring decisions are yours.
