how much do nail techs make irl?

[OfTheCross]

According to Indeed.com it's like $20 / hr.

But we know for a fact them females aren't reporting all their income...

My girl tryna get into that now, so I'm asking for research purposes to make sure she on the right track to retire me early.

Depending on the salon/clientele these tech are caking. The shops they work out of and their skillset plays a huge part in how much they make. There's a shop here that caters to a certain clientele, athlete wives, professional women and local celebs etc, all of their techs are paid and the shop stays busy.

I see. Those nails are hideous. But if that's what pays well now I'm sure my girl will happily oblige

Imma say it. Getting nails done are pointless. Polish your toes and thats it.

It seems like one if those gigs where it depends on your hustle. I see the techs that advertise, do house calls, own they own shop, etc. Of course those one can build up a clientele that allows them to charge a premium or keep some would be overhead. I suppose the lazier ones aren't making that much

also skill levels. some tech can barely file all of your nails in a consistent shape and cant do specific designs and shapes. im not paying 100 for a manicure if you dont even know what stilleto is

then you have some that know how to freestyle designs and are up on the latest trends charging 100$ for a set. that's probably more than 6 cert brehs make
