3 Keys To Salon Success

Success in the professional nail care industry depends on education, hard work, and perseverance.  Your conduct should exemplify the attitudes and behavior of the professional in any health-related field.  Professional nail care offers many opportunities to those that have mastered their craft and developed a professional appearance, personality and work ethic.

Professional ethics are those principals of conduct and business that the nail professional lives by in her dealings with patrons, co-workers, and employees. Nail care is a service industry, and the essential considerations here are commitment, cleanliness, courtesy, and respect for others.
