Where have you been all my life? I’m battling working a 9-5 wanting to quit and go to the nail school!! Nails are my PASSION! I currently sell press on nails but want to be a “Legit” Nail Technician. Thank you for taking the time to even do this video to help others like myself.

So glad it helped Stephanie! I did quit my day job, and picked up an evening shift as waitress. You’ll need some sort of part time for a few little nail splurges. I literally had no more than $100 sometimes a week to spend... so I had to pick up a part time.

There was a lot of helpful tips in this video. I think the scariest part of being an independent nail technician is taxes. Everyone usually tells you to just save money for taxes and that supplies are a write off but not the process or how to record the necessary information.

Thank you for the feedback! I think you are right about many no specifying how to write off things, but I believe it is because of liability reasons. Unless tax law is your thing, then you cannot really advice ppl 🤷🏻♀️

I had just opened my nail studio last March when was asked to close because of the virus. I didn't have the need to look into things like mileage & quick books because I haven't been opened. I am now hopeful that this year will be better and this video gave me knowledge as how to be better prepared for when that happens. Thank you for all the great information in this video.

Does that insurance cover clients who no show. For instance you charge a no show fee of say $40 and the client does a charge back with their bank saying it’s fraud. Will this insurance cover that cost so you still get paid?

Hi Paola - I'm so happy to have found your channel, theres nobody as informative in the business side of this as you! I have a question about the Sole Proprietor//LLC option; I want to become an LLC because I know this is something I am doing in the future and working towards building. Gracias a dios, i'm moving pretty quickly. However, I still only make about $1500-2000 a month. Do you think it is still worth it to become an LLC? Even if it's just me for now? Most of what you mentioned i've already done or have been researching to do this year! I feel like i'm on the right track, but still unsure on what to do just because I'm not that busy just yet.. I appreciate your help and knowledge! thank you!
@PaolaPonceNails

Ugh... I cannot advice you on a legal decision, but I do understand your dilemma. I'm thinking you can still insure yourself/business as sole-prop. I think you will know exactly when it is time to become and LLC. There are fees every year for that, our experience was like $1000 per year?? So you can afford to pay it, but then doing taxes as an LLC just gets more complicated then needed for tiny businesses like yours. I dunno!

From personal experience, if you get an LLC faster you can start building your business credit and you can start applying for business credit cards, lines of credit, loans to open your future big business or more businesses. Banks like to see that people are keep track of their business money. The sooner you start the faster you will grow your business credit. I recommend opening a business checking account using a credit union bank. Hopes this helps.
