1) Is it wise to look for a total new place or a salon available for take over business ?
2) Also, what kind of concept or new ideas should I look into?
3) Most important, how successful will a Nail Salon be ?
Thanks for the assistance.
Cheers.

I would think either would be suitable provided which you did your homework first. If it's a new location, how much are you going to have to sink into total renovations?
If it's an existing location, why is the owner giving it up? You need to know this as if the traffic is low, it's no go, if the traffic is high but the wrong type it's also no go. I have a friend who opened a Thai cooked food stall a number of years ago in the Amara Hotel. This stall did a booming business. With that confidence in his menu and so forth he decided to expand and opened a shop in the heartlands in Hougang - it was a total flop and he had to close within 6 months. Why? Plenty of traffic, but unfortunately the uncles and aunties were going to the chickenrice stalls. They're not as adventurous as the expatriatate crowd that frequents his Amara Stall.
Concept or new ideas, haven't a clue - if I did I'd have probably opened a nail salon as well.
As far as how successful that depend on a combination of the above informations and answers that you have to find as well as the reputation you develop with you clientel. Word of mouth advertising is the most valuable there is. It costs nothing and can create huge returns. Problem is it is usually dependent on "QUALITY SERVICE", something that is sorely lacking here in Singapore, and value for money. If you have a habit of tearing the quick's of your customer while doing their nails, you won't have business long.
Service, Quality, Cost and concept. Get these right in the right location and you should be okay.
