Retail items

[Saucygirl]

What are some ideas for retail items in a 'nails only' salon?

I am thinking polish, foot files/pumice stones, toe rings, lotions, cuticle oil......

What else can anyone think of? What have you guys had luck retailing?

 

[lisa-marie]

files, buffers, polish remover, base coats, top coats...

Good ideas, keep 'em coming!

have we said hand creams? nail strengtheners thingys?
bracelets to show hands off to best advantage?
shimmer lotions.
those white pens that you use under your nail to make em look whiter!
toe divider things.

Nail geek or not, these are good ideas. Sometimes I get tunnel vision, and a need some creative inspiration-I'm not picky about where or who it comes from:green:

look at taking on a costume jewellery line. There are so many funky ranges out there that it could increase your sales by clients falling in love with certain items.

I also found the glass & crystal files were a huge seller.

What about a range of spray tans. I know people can buy these in boots, but you may have clients that impulse buy before a night out.

What about strip eyelashes, make-up, handbag sized items that clients may buy on the day.

Hope this helps

Barefoot sandals. I sell a lot of them and they are georgeus, just do a pedicure and let your clients try them on, especially if they are going on a beach holiday. They sell themselves. I match Toe nail art to their sandals and provide velvet pouches to store them in. I also have a porcelein foot to display the sandals, I paint the toe nails with nail art and display on reception table where I do there client consultation.

That's a great idea with the sandals, in case people forget their open toed shoes.
