Disputes between clients and manicurists do not subside. Clients complain that manicure is expensive, and the masters say that all consumables with rent and training pay off only after a couple of years.
Well, let's figure it out :-)
The first and most impressive item of expenses for a master is room rent. The amount depends on the size of the room, the popularity of the salon (if the office is in the salon), the area (high traffic or not, it is convenient to call in or even nowhere to park the car). On average in my city (Kaliningrad) 8-10 thousand. rubles per month. Plus utility bills every month.
Moving on to the furniture.
Desktop. The main place in the office of the nail service master. It should be convenient and functional so that you can put consumables and everything that a master needs during work into it. I found the cheapest regular table for 5300 rubles. The price depends on the model, the convenience of the master, the design idea and can reach up to 30 thousand rubles. rubles.
Master chair, on which the master sits all day and in almost the same position. You can buy a cheap plastic one for 2,100 rubles without a back, which God forbid will last half a year. Or you can buy a good chair that will serve the master faithfully and will not give him a sore back and an extra expense item for a masseur. The price of such comfortable chairs starts at 5,000 rubles.
Customer chair. Although the client sits in the chair no longer than the master, he should be just as comfortable. Sitting for 1.5-3 hours even in a comfortable chair is like torture for some. A good chair for a client costs about 5000 rubles on average.
In the office of any respecting himself and his clients, the master should stand dry heat or autoclave. Dry fire GP-10 costs at least 16,500 rubles. Autoclaves are more expensive, from 25,000 rubles, but they are more economical to operate, as they are faster and they sterilize the instrument better, which will affect the electricity bills (which will be less than with dry heat).
Still needed ultrasonic cleaner, which costs from 3000 rubles.
Apparatus for manicure (for example, STRONG 90/120, if it is not a Chinese counterfeit, but purchased from official representatives) will cost from 11 thousand. rubles. Good devices, aimed at a long and high-quality service, cannot cost less, because if the master has a large flow of clients, the device works almost without stopping.
Cutters. From 3 to 6 sets of cutters, depending on the workload of the master. The set contains an average of 3 cutters. Two for a manicure, the price for each is from 80 rubles, and one for removing the coating, the price is 400 rubles apiece.
Curing lamp. You can buy, of course, an inexpensive UV lamp, but by saving on it, the master will lose greatly in income in the future. Because the curing time in a UV lamp is 2 minutes. Well, even if the layer is thin, let it be a minute. Now let's imagine that we have 10 nails, and we need to dry the base, two layers of color and the top. Ideally, this is 8 minutes per nail and 80 minutes per two hands.
If you use an LED lamp, then the time is significantly reduced from 2 minutes to 30 seconds. The total total of 80 minutes is reduced to 20 minutes. The average price for a UV lamp is 1,500 rubles. The price for a hybrid UV / LED lamp is from 3000 rubles.
Vacuum cleaner. An integral part of the manicure room, it collects most of the dust when cutting the coating.
On average, the price for a vacuum cleaner with a capacity of 65 watts is 3000 rubles.
Cuticle nippers / cuticle scissors / pushers
If the master does a combined manicure, then in his arsenal there will necessarily be either nippers or cuticle scissors. And one piece is not enough here either: the quantity is also from 3 to 6 pieces, depending on the number of clients per day. The price for one piece of nippers of medium quality is from 400 rubles. Scissors have a similar price.
There should be as many pushers in the master's arsenal as there are nippers, that is, according to the number of clients per day. The average price for a pusher is 200 rubles.
Bases / Tops
Some craftsmen prefer to keep several types and firms of bases in a case. Let's say the master has 3 different bases, the average price is 500 rubles for one.
The situation is similar with tops. At least 2 types per case, matt and glossy. Glossy price from 400 rubles. A good matte top is more expensive, about 600 rubles.
Colored gel polishes
The minimum set of color gel varnishes is 10 pieces, the more the better, but let's take the average. Colored gel varnishes do not have to be bought in large volumes, so they buy 6.7 ml. The average price is 300 rubles.
Designs
Here the spread is very large, it all depends on whether the master makes the design and how difficult it is. Sliders, rhinestones of different sizes and colors, design brushes, broths, etc. Dots for nail design cost an average of 30 rubles per piece, you need at least two if they are double-sided.
Brushes, at least 3 pcs: for fine lines, for a jacket, for a gradient. Ideally, the master has a lot more brushes. The price for a thin brush is on average 100 rubles, for a French brush is 150 rubles and a brush for a gradient is about 250 rubles.
Slider designs on average 50 rubles per sheet with several designs. On average, a master can have 10 sheets or more.
Rhinestones have a very large price range, and a master should have a lot of them. On average, a set of rhinestones costs from 100 rubles for 200 pcs / pack. Swarovski crystals cost 130 rubles per pack of 30 pcs.
Rubs for nails, which some people love very much, cost on average from 300 rubles, for the most part a master can have from 3 rubbing.
Auxiliary liquids, cuticle oils, hand creams, coating removers
If the master removes the coating by soaking, then he just needs to buy such a liquid. The price per liter of the product is 360 rubles.
Degreaser of the nail plate and a means for removing the sticky layer, usually this is a 2in1 product, the price is for 500 ml 290 rubles.
Large volume cuticle oil costs 350 rubles.
Hand cream in a volume of 500 ml - 350 rubles.
Gloves, aprons, masks
The master must also protect himself from dust and chemistry, because he breathes this and collides with it in general all day.
A package of 50 pairs of nitrile gloves costs 380 rubles.
Three-layer face masks cost an average of 100 rubles per pack of 100 pieces.
In addition, the master may have a reusable apron or a disposable plastic apron to protect the clothes. A reusable apron costs 600 rubles. A package of 50 disposable aprons costs 150 rubles.
Some craftsmen cover the vacuum cleaner with a non-woven cloth to collect dust. A package of such napkins measuring 30x30 cm 100 pcs in a package costs 180 rubles.
Lint-free napkins for a package of 1000 pieces cost 200 rubles on average.
Disposable mini buffs, which are used once for one client, cost an average of 7 rubles apiece.
Orange sticks (also disposable) cost an average of 120 rubles per pack of 100 pieces.
Nail files. Files can be used disposable, the price per piece is on average from 5 rubles. Some craftsmen use metal-based nail files with replaceable abrasives.
The metal base costs 550 rubles, removable files - from 500 rubles for a package of 50 pieces. The master for shaking off dust still has brushes, the price of which is from 10 rubles per piece, and it is better, of course, if they are also for one client.
Sterilization
The antiseptic agent that the master sprinkles your hands with before starting the procedure costs an average of 150 rubles per 200 ml.
Kraft packages. Price per pack in 100 kraft bags in the size of 75x150 ml. which is just enough for a set of tools for one client costs 280 rubles.
Disinfectant solution for soaking, for example, the most popular of the certified Optimax, the price for 1 liter is 450 rubles.
Plus, the cost of a manicure includes such intangible assets as ongoing training, attendance at master classes and participation in master tournaments. The winners of such tournaments can safely double the cost of their services, they deserve it. The presence of a large number of certificates is also an indicator. This means that the master develops and does not deal with the same body movements for years.
I could develop the beauty economy section on the channel and prepare materials, for example, calculating the cost of applying gel polish on 1 nail or the cost of dyeing hair. It all depends on how interesting people are (judging by the "thumbs up").
