It’s been a tough month for the nails sector with business largely remaining on par with June last year. However, with 21 manicures and pedicures to perform on average per week, it’s no wonder that you shop for supplies monthly.
Growth is the word on everyone’s lips with 15% of you having added new services to your menu in the past 12 months, such as powder-dip systems, and the majority employing between three to four nail techs in their salon or spa.
