My wife is setting up a home studio

[Alisa Volkova]

Good afternoon. My wife is setting up a home studio after five years working in someone else’s salon, and I am handling the boring parts, so I am here asking supply questions on her behalf. She has her brands picked out, mostly European gels and bases, but everywhere I look the same product is either sold out or listed at three completely different prices. Is that normal in this industry? And is it worth setting up a wholesale or professional account somewhere, or do those require a business license we do not have yet?

The price spread is normal and it usually reflects who is an authorized stockist and who is reselling out of a suitcase, so the cheapest listing is not automatically the same product in the bottle. Sold out is normal as well, these lines arrive in waves. Professional accounts vary, some want a license and some just want a minimum order, so ask directly rather than assuming she is locked out of the good pricing. Nail Market USA https://www.nailmarket-usa.com/ has a wholesale side and a bulk discount once the order passes a set value, which is where the savings start for a home studio. Have her buy small quantities across two or three brands before committing money to a full kit.
