How a nail printer makes your salon money

The most common business model our salons run: add printed accent nails as a premium upsell on existing manicures. Here's the math.

Most common buyer questions

Is nail printing hard to learn?

Like any salon service, it has steps. Most techs learn the basics from the tutorials on this page, and every machine ships with hands-on onboarding from our Canadian team. Salons are usually running paid printed services within their first week.

What does it actually cost to run? (cartridges & ink)

Every machine ships with our free $499 Startup Package โ€” two cartridges, the full gel system, nail guards, and 1,500 practice tips. After that, the only ongoing cost is replacement cartridges via our Monthly Ink Refill Plans (~70 nail sets per cartridge). Most salons offset this many times over with a single day of printed accent services.

How does a salon make money from this?

The most common model is adding printed accent nails as a $15โ€“$25 upsell on standard manicures. Salons running 4 add-ons/day at $20 add roughly $400/week in new revenue (~$1,700/month). Run your salon's specific numbers in our ROI calculator.

Which nail printer should I buy โ€” V11 or X12.5?

Choose the V11 ($2,999) if you're learning at home, creating beauty content, or starting small. Choose the X12.5 ($5,999) if you run a salon and want a wall-mountable, 10-inch touchscreen machine your team can run as a paid premium service all day. Not sure? Take the 60-second quiz.

How long does printing take?

About 25โ€“30 seconds per nail. Most printed accent services add roughly 3โ€“5 minutes to a standard manicure.

Can I finance a nail printer?

Yes. The V11 is about $125/mo and the X12.5 about $135/mo through Affirm and Shop Pay Installments. Subject to approval. See financing options โ†’

What if it doesn't work for my salon?

Salon orders come with a 30-day risk-free trial โ€” if it's not working for your business, return it. See trial terms โ†’

Do I have to leave my chair to get help?

No. Canadian-based support 7 days a week โ€” email, phone or chat. Plus every machine ships with a hands-on onboarding session at no extra cost.

Does the printer replace my nail tech?

No. The printer removes the bottleneck of detailed hand-painted custom work, so your nail tech can offer a wider range of services in less time. The artistry โ€” sealing, finishing, building 3D accents โ€” is still done by hand.

What is a nail printer?

A nail printer is a beauty-tech machine that prints custom designs, photos, patterns and artwork directly onto nails or nail tips, so you can offer detailed nail art without hand-painting every design.
