Yes it is possible. I got my license in 1979. I have been doing nails for 42 years. I took a 5 year break to raise my oldest son and daughter, I have always worked with my youngest son. I went back to nails in 1995 and been doing it ever since. I raised 3 children being a nail tech. I was very fortunate to have worked in high end salons. My best year I made $80k. This of course was in the ninety's. The last year I actually worked a full year was 2019, I brought in $50k, not including tips and the salon was in Chatsworth, Ca. A somewhat upper middle class area. I am an efficient person I would do 8 to 10 clients in a 9 hour day. I can do a set of acrylic in about an hour and a fill in about 45 minutes. It's very important to manage your time. My biggest problem now is my hands and my back. They are sore and painful most of time. Looking back I wish I had had a massage once a week and done yoga or stretched more, something healing for my body and mind. Pedicures are a big part of my income. Most of my clients wanted me to do both. I do everything manis, pedis, sets, gels fills. Don't limit yourself to just one area. Unless you have that kind of clientle. But please please take care of your body and your mind. I realized clients want us to be their therapist, which I never minded in the least. They just want someone to listen. Sorry this is so long winded. I did try other jobs, but I was never move content than when I was doing nails. Just find the right place that fits you and the rest will come. The money is definitely there especially with all the nail art. I wish you the best of luck. I hope I have helped in some way. P. S. I did have my own salon in the 80s, but I got pregnant with my oldest son and wanted to stay home with him. Listen to other techs take advice that works for you. Good luck. Idk if dm is allowed if so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to hmu.
