How to increase nail salon profits

How to increase nail salon profits is not the same job as how to increase nail salon revenue. Revenue is the deposit. Profit is what is left after product, booth or lease, and the minutes you gave away.

A $90 custom set that eats 90 minutes can lose to a $55 fill plus a $35 print that leaves the chair in an hour. Ink is about C$3 a set. Only official O'2Nails distributor for Canada and the USA. V11 $2,999 CAD. X12.5 $5,999 CAD.

Profit moves when the extra is named

  1. Write last week’s chair-hours and deposit. That is your baseline, not a national average.
  2. Name one extra. Put a dollar amount on the menu and the booking app.
  3. Count how many times you sold it. If the count is zero, do not buy a second machine. Fix the sentence at the desk.
