What is a Nail Technician?
Nail Technicians, as the name suggests, work with their client’s nails to maintain, decorate and improve their nails.
They’re considered artists as they showcase their creativity and love for beauty. From crafting stunning nail designs to providing luxurious spa treatments, nail technicians play a vital role in the beauty industry.
It may also be possible to offer these services as part of a wider repertoire, such as beauty therapy, however the services of a Nail Technician are often available in solely focused establishments.
According to Indeed, nail technicians make an average salary of GBP£11.11 per hour in the UK. The highest-paying cities include Victoria at GBP£12.45 per hour and London at GBP£11.69 per hour.
In the US, nail technicians receive an average salary of US$21.63 per hour. The highest-paying cities include San Antonio, Texas, at US$35.97 per hour and Louisville, Kentucky, at US$34.02 per hour.
