National Nail Price Increase Day
A nail technician in Cardiff is part of a movement called “National Nail Price Increase Day” where more than 5,000 nail technicians across the UK are collectively raising their prices to ensure fair wages.
Raising Prices for Fair Wages
The Nail Tech Org (NTO) reports that many nail technicians earn below the minimum wage, prompting the need for this price increase. With rising costs of utilities and products, nail technicians like Elsie Tate are taking a stand to ensure they earn a fair wage.
Challenges Faced by Nail Technicians
Elsie Tate, a nail technician for two years, highlights the unseen overheads and expenses that often leave nail technicians earning less than minimum wage. The increase in prices aims to address this issue and provide a sustainable income for nail technicians.
Client Support
Niamh Crawley, one of Elsie’s clients, supports the price increase, recognizing the need for fair compensation for the services provided. She acknowledges the rising costs in the industry and believes it is only fair for nail technicians to adjust their prices accordingly.
