Many people think that nail technicians are only performing services in the salon. This stereotype is no longer the norm. Many nail techs across the country are salon owners, booth renters, and are running their own businesses day in and day out. They know their business backwards and forwards, and can also bust out a fantastic set of nails.
One of the pitfalls that many nail techs run into is finding ways to make supplemental income beyond the number of times they can turn their chair every day. Some turn to MLMs or retailing, but find it to be hard work with too little reward.
I’ve recently been turned on to a new app offering artists like ourselves an open marketplace to find clients, work when we want, and SET OUR OWN PRICES. It’s called LISA, and it is available right now in Illinois.
LISA is an open marketplace to find new clients. It’s a platform that lets independent nail techs start their own businesses outside of their salon, or in addition to it, with no risk and virtually no overhead.
Since I’ve started on The LISA App, I’ve been able to relax a bit because my marketing is done for me – with photos of my work, a full profile, star ratings, and client reviews. I can see clients on demand (within one hour of request) in their homes, or fill my chair when I have future openings. It handles all of the back office work for me, so I can communicate with clients in one place, schedule them with my current calendar, take their payments and tips, leave a review, have peace of mind with security monitoring, and get liability insurance — all through LISA. Using the app is kind of a no brainer.
LISA works like Uber; you can turn it on when you have free time, and take clients “on demand,” or in the future, scheduling them for a free time in your calendar. And there’s great comfort levels through Lifeline Response so you never have to worry about entering a new client’s home or office. LISA was built by 50 artists for artists like us. See the tips our fellow artists have to say about using LISA here.
Going mobile no longer needs to be intimidating. LISA has a list of items needed for your mobile beauty kit to ensure an exceptional client experience – customized by you. Add or subtract based on your service menu and travel time, or if you perform dry services.
The LISA App has allowed me to take back my career on MY terms: my prices, my hours, with my service menu.
To welcome more nail techs onto the platform, the LISA team is picking up the tab for your first 50 services for 90 days starting April 1. That’s a “no-fees-while-you-learn-the-app promise.” When you ask a few handfuls of current clients to find you on the app and then go mobile to perform 50 services in 90 days, this simple to use app should become second nature.
