Taking a cue from Steven Covey, author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people”, the NAILS editorial team identified seven characteristics, or habits, of the highly successful nail technicians we’ve met over the past 18 years.
Canadians are just as passionate about the nail industry as their American neighbors, and with the recent rise of nails-only salons and nail services up north, the time is right for the installation of associations, expansion of education, and – most importantly – the certification or licensure of nail technicians.

I was in beautiful Toronto for four days visiting salons and attending the Canadian Hairdresser magazine show.

Although still not as prominent, discount salons are redefining the nail industry there as well.
Award-winning salon owner Debbie Krakalovich was introduced to the nail industry when she herself was a nail-biting client.
