Mobile Nail Services Guide
Build a mobile nail business around the legal service model your state actually allows, a client base a salon can't reach, and a price that accounts for drive time. This 65-page guide walks through the four-question board call that confirms your regime before you spend a dollar, what a licensed mobile unit versus a tethered or salon-only setup actually requires, and what you must always refuse — plus seven working templates to run it with.

What It Covers
Call your state board first to find out which of four legal regimes applies — salon-only, charity-only, tethered to a salon, or a licensed mobile unit — before spending on a kit or vehicle. Confirm training hours, the license and permit route, and insurance and vehicle requirements for your state, since a licensed mobile unit is a plumbed vehicle with tanks and a toilet, not a folding table. Build the client base a salon can't reach — nursing homes and activities directors, homebound clients, and group bookings — and always refuse MMA, skin-cutting tools, UV sterilizers, and any condition you can't identify. Price at mid-market with a separate, visible travel fee, track your rebooking rate as the number that predicts revenue, and build a recurring book instead of chasing one-off appointments.
