Excerpt from The 6-Figure Nail Tech™

 

By Phylicia Henry

 

Most nail techs believe their income is tied to how many hours they can physically work. But the truth is: the moment you stop trading time for dollars, your entire career unlocks. A six-figure nail tech isn’t defined by how fast she can polish or how many sets she squeezes into a day — she’s defined by how she builds systems, elevates experience, and positions her value.

 

When you first enter the beauty industry, you think skills alone make you money. But skill without strategy is just talent. Strategy turns talent into income. Strategy turns income into freedom.

 

The nail tech who thrives isn’t the one with the prettiest designs — it’s the one who understands:

 

• Pricing is a business decision, not an emotional one.

• Boundaries create professionalism.

• Systems create consistency.

• Consistency creates trust.

• Trust creates money.

 

In every chapter of this book, you’re going to learn the exact blueprint that top-earning beauty pros use to build sustainable, long-term wealth in this industry. Not hustle money. Not burnout money. Real money.

 

And it all starts with one truth:

 

You don’t get paid for what you do —

you get paid for the level of transformation you provide.

 

Your clients aren’t just buying a manicure. They’re buying confidence. They’re buying convenience. They’re buying an experience. Once you understand how to package that experience, price it correctly, market it with intention, and automate the business around it…

you are no longer “just” a nail tech.

 

You become a brand.

You become a business.

You become a six-figure earner — on your terms.

 

Every page of this book is designed to help you think like a CEO, move like a leader, and earn like a professional whose time is valuable. Because once your mindset shifts, your income does too — and there is no limit to what you can build.
