Build Yours.
VÉLOURA brings the clients to you — you keep 80% of every booking, set your own schedule, and grow your business on your terms.
Nail tech doing 4 bookings a week?
$400–$600 in your pocket.
Hairstylist with 6 appointments?
Easy $700–$1,000/week.
No chair rental. No salon split. Just you, your craft, and your clients.
Honestly? We really didn’t want to do this.
We used to cover background check costs for everyone because we believe in making onboarding easy. But with so many starting and not finishing, it’s become tough to sustain — especially when we’re focused on supporting pros who are all-in.
So here’s the new move: starting April 10, 2026, there’s a $29.99 onboarding fee. Not a profit — just a way to make sure we’re both serious. And the best part? It’s 100% refunded after your first completed booking.
We’re doing this to keep the community strong — and we’re really glad you’re part of it.

NAIL TECHNICIANS
"I was skeptical about the fee at first. Then I completed my first booking, got it refunded, and made $280 that same weekend. I haven't looked back."
Jasmine R.
Nail Technician · Pasadena, CA
"I used to rent a chair and stress about slow days. With VÉLOURA I set my own hours around my kids and still pull consistent income. This is the move."
Destiny M.
Nail Tech · Los Angeles, CA
"NYC is competitive but VÉLOURA gave me an edge. Clients come to me in their apartments, I charge premium rates, and I keep most of it. Best decision I made this year."
Kezia A.
Nail Technician · Brooklyn, NY
"Miami clients want luxury and they want it now. VÉLOURA fits perfectly — I do poolside nail sets, hotel visits, bachelorette prep. My bookings doubled in 6 weeks."

"Cherry reached out to me personally and I'm so glad she did. Within two weeks I had a full client roster on my days off from the salon. My side income is now my main income."
Tanya K.
Hairstylist · Arcadia, CA
"The clients come to ME. I show up, do what I love, and go home. No drama, no overhead, no splitting my earnings with a salon. VÉLOURA changed how I work."
Maria L.
Hairstylist · Glendale, CA
"I work Midtown and Upper East Side clients mostly. They pay well, they tip well, and they rebook. VÉLOURA gave me access to a clientele I never had working in a salon."
Danielle F.
