Opening a nail salon in the US, easy or difficult?

Opening a nail salon in the US, easy or difficult?

Many people dream of owning a nail salon in the United States. But having good skills and abundant capital is not all that it takes to open a nail salon. So, is it easy or difficult to open a nail salon in the US, and what preparations are needed? These are the questions that many people ask. Keep reading to discover the important steps and valuable advice to keep a positive mindset to make your American dream come true.

What are the requirements to open a Nail Salon in the US?

A common misconception that many nail spa business owners face is that they believe that if they succeed in doing business in Vietnam, and have skills and some capital, they will be able to easily build a successful nail salon in the US. However, this “naive” thinking can lead to complete failure after just a few weeks of starting a business.

When doing business in Vietnam, you can freely do what you want and succeed quite easily. However, when you join the “playing field” in the US, this means that you must comply with US laws. If you are not familiar with the regulations and rules, you will easily fail.

What preparations are needed to open a nail salon?

To operate a nail spa business in the US, you need to understand the Business Law of this country, including regulations on business registration, taxes, and obligations and rights of small businesses.

First of all, to operate a nail salon legally, you need to prepare two types of licenses. The first is the City Permit, which you need to apply for in the city where you want to open your salon. The second is the license from a professional agency of the state, such as the State Board of Cosmetology of the state.

The owner doesn’t need to have a Nail Certificate. The certificate is only required when you directly touch and work on the hands and feet of customers. You can hire a technician and pay them a monthly salary or a percentage of the profit.

To prove that you are living stably and can do business in the US, you need to have a US permanent resident card or prove that you are living stably with relatives or friends.

To ensure success in starting a business in the US, look for partners or acquaintances who are good at their profession and share the same goal to support each other. Entrepreneurial life in the US is not easy, and if you work alone, you will face many difficulties, and even overload.

Budget planning for the nail salon is always the right thing to do.

Budget planning for the nail salon is a necessary step to avoid budget deficits. In the US, opening a small nail spa can cost a few hundred thousand dollars, and this number may vary depending on the style, small-scale, and criteria that each salon aims for.

To be clear about each expenditure, you should create a budget plan for the nail salon to proactively deal with any issue.

Some advice for you

Before starting a nail salon business in the US, visit and use services at nail salons owned by locals or Vietnamese people to learn how to provide services and support customers.

Listen to the opinions of those who have gone before you to receive the most valuable advice. Always maintain an endless learning spirit and try continuously to improve your service. When opening a nail salon, you are not just a nail technician, but also a personnel manager and must be creative to attract customers. Therefore, always enhance your learning spirit to achieve success as you expect.
