5.0 out of 5 stars Guide to owning a Nail Salon, October 7, 2005
I found this book to be very helpful and informative on how to get started and the pitfalls of owning a nail salon. I am a computer programmer who has had my nail tech license for 7 years and I am interested in making a career change by opening my own nail salon and didn't know how to get started. Milady's Guide to Owning and Operating a Nail Salon has helped me tremendously and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about opening up a salon.
