How much can you earn as a nail tech?.

Your earnings as a nail technician will depend on a number of factors: your training level, experience, location, the services you provide & the environment in which you work. In Australia, the average salary of an employed nail technician, working in a salon, spa or equivalent, is between $50,000 and $60,000. This is a fantastic income for doing something you really love, and a great way to add stability to your beauty therapy work. However, if you wanted to take more control of your earnings, and your schedule, you could choose to work from home or as a mobile technician. Whilst you might have to invest in your own kit, your earnings could rise to 6 figures! While you might initially charge around $40 for a set of nails, as your experience, your skills and your clientele list grows, you could raise your prices. Some of the top nail techs in the most affluent areas charge around $80 – $150 a set. Don’t forget you can add extras onto this too, with packages or bundles of extra treatments. If you reached 4 clients a day average spend of $100, that would net you $400 a day. In a year that would equate to over $100,000 a year!.
