Manicure businesses
Manicure businesses
Can they really be profitable? For example charging each customer $80-$100 per treatment, and rental and employees would easily cost them $5,000 - $7,000 a month. Breakeven 3-4 treatments a day...So they must at least have 8 customers a day to make a decent profit?

Re: Manicure businesses
A lot of these businesses actually offer more than just manicure services. Many also do pedicures, spas, and treatments. Coupled with upselling customers, they can easily charge over $100 per customer. If it wasn’t profitable, there wouldn’t be as many manicure businesses as there are today.

Re: Manicure businesses
I doubt it hahaha, except maybe the less legitimate ones. I’m pretty sure that is illegal, so if there were, they are probably no longer in operation.Myasis Dragon wrote: ↑Sun, 07 Feb 2021 4:20 amThe ones that really make the money offer "happy endings".

My friend used to work in a manicure shop. Her pay is not so high though.
Re: Manicure businesses
Very interesting point brought up. Not sure how this "extra" services will go in such COVID times. even the legit ones are facing plenty of challenges ahead i believe.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Mon, 08 Feb 2021 12:28 pmYou'd be surprised.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Mon, 08 Feb 2021 11:03 amI doubt it hahaha, except maybe the less legitimate ones.

Re: Manicure businesses
Same way it work in hospitals. Disposables. Bit of modifications and/or sensations but I assume that the risk is worth it. I don't know, never had a massage.
