Nail techs in demand throughout Las Vegas.
By Cristina Rodriguez 

It may be surprising that nail technicians can make $40,000 in their first you of work and $60,000 with a couple of years in hand.

The fallout is that Las Vegas high-end salons are battling an image, created by an influx of discounts shops that nail work doesn’t pay much. An owner in one local chain says she’s having trouble filling the positions for nail techs, but not for other positions.

License figures from the Nevada Board of Cosmetology depict a rapid boom. Since 2003, the number of nail-only salons has grown 32 percent to 679. The number of manicurists, 3267, jumped 11 percent in the past three years. The same period saw a 15 percent rise in nail salons in the state, to 1951 and a 6 percent increase in manicurists, to 5338.
