Nobody was speaking for nail salons. Now somebody is.
Nail salons are a growing UK industry, heading towards £1 billion a year. They are some of the most resilient businesses on the high street. They give young technicians their first step into work. They bring local people together. But when costs rise or rules change, nobody asks salon owners what they think. TNBA was made to change that.
Seven areas of help.
The things that decide if a salon does well or struggles.
1. Make more profit
Most salons can earn more from the same space. We help you find out how.
Now: pricing guides, cost checklists, the Salon Business Health Check.
Coming soon: profit workshops with other owners.
2. Lower running costs
Rent, rates, energy, insurance. The biggest bills, checked and challenged.
Now: cost benchmark survey, so you see what other salons pay.
Coming soon: group deals with founding partners.
3. Standards and fair licensing
Good salons should be proud of their standards, not scared of inspections.
Now: ready-to-use documents: cleaning logs, risk checks, staff records.
Coming soon: licence guides for London boroughs, and clear rules for salons outside London.
4. Find and keep good staff
Great technicians are hard to find and easy to lose. We help you build a team that stays.
Now: staff file checklist and hiring basics.
Coming soon: training partnerships and career paths.
5. Member discounts
One salon pays full price. Five hundred salons get a better deal.
Coming soon: discounts on insurance, card payments and energy. This starts when we have enough members. That is why joining early matters.
6. Research and a real voice
Councils and government listen to numbers. We are collecting them.
Now: the UK Nail Salon Cost Survey. Free report for every salon that takes part.
Coming soon: a yearly industry report, sent to government, councils and press.
7. A community of owners
Running a salon can feel lonely. It does not have to be.
Now: online meetings for members.
Coming soon: more ways to meet, as TNBA grows.
Seven areas. One membership. £99 a year.
