The 18th annual Nail Tech Event of the Smokies welcomed over 700 attendees to Gatlinburg, TN, for four days of nail education, networking, product launches, and hands-on workshops.
After attending a networking event in Michigan in 2009, nail techs Dayna Knight and Annette Sykaluk set out to bring a similar event to Canada. The two discussed “a mountain of ideas” over a glass of wine and the Canadian Nail Tech Connection (CNTC) was born.
Like many salons, East Village Spa in Des Moines, Iowa, was fully booked for Valentine’s Day, then right before the appointment cancellation charge cut-off of 48 hours, clients “suddenly” realized they wouldn’t be able to come in. Rather than lose money on empty appointments, the salon posted the new openings on Twitter. “They were immediately snatched up by people who’d waited too long to make Valentine’s Day plans. Twitter helped us stay 100% booked,” says owner Cassie Sampson.
To organize a networking event for nail techs takes an enormous amount of work and discipline, but the rewards are worth it. Learn the steps to make your event go off without a hitch.
By intentionally cultivating a sense of connection among clients, techs and salon owners can extend their sphere of influence beyond the walls of the salon and establish their place in the community.

Salon owner Jill Wright wondered what would happen if she introduced her clients who own small businesses to her clients who love to buy. The result was a successful and fun pre-Christmas networking event.
