How old do you have to be to work at a nail salon?

What experience do you need to work at a nail salon, and how old do you have to be, can you just make a resume and walk in and ask, and they will teach you, or do you have to go to a special school too learn, then apply. Thanks!How old do you have to be to work at a nail salon?
You would need to go to school for it. In 49 of the 50 states, a license is required to do nails. Experience? It depends on the salon. Most want at least some experience, others want 3-5 years or more of experience. Doing nails is a skill that needs to be learned, then mastered. You won't have many customers for the first year or two. It takes a while to get a steady flow of regular customers. Also, be prepared to work nights, weekends, and on some holidays too - especially when first starting out. A successful nail tech sets his/her schedule to fit the needs of their customers, not the other way around.

You have to be 18 and check your local beauty schools for nail courses, why not learn to be a hairdresser and nail tech too. My daughter just graduated and found employment in 2 weeks at a very popular salon.
