    S3E6: California's nail tech booth rental ban | Beauty Bound Podcast

    In this episode of the Beauty Bound Podcast, find out more about how and why California nail techs can’t rent booths in salons. 📢 *Episode Overview:*California has officially banned booth rental for nail technicians as of January 1st, 2024. In this episode of Beauty Bound, Cristal and Jackie break down what this means for beauty professionals, how it could impact the industry nationwide, and why estheticians and hairstylists fought back against similar restrictions.💅 *What Happened?*• As of January 1, 2024, California nail techs can no longer booth rent in salons.• Originally, this law aimed to ban booth rental for all beauty professionals, including hairstylists and estheticians.• Hairstylists fought back and secured an exemption—but nail techs were left out.⚖️ *Why Did This Happen?*• The state claims it’s to regulate employment and ensure proper worker protections.• However, many believe it's a major hit on small beauty businesses and independent beauty pros.• Nail technicians now have limited options:✅ Work on commission or hourly at a salon.✅ Rent a private studio at places like Sola Salons or Phenix Salon Suites.✅ Open their own salon (which comes with added business expenses).💣 *The Impact on Beauty Entrepreneurs*• Fewer independent opportunities – Nail techs now have to either work under a salon or invest in their own space.• Higher costs for beauty professionals – Renting a solo studio is often more expensive than traditional booth rental.• Possible ripple effect? – If this law stays, will other states follow?✋ *What Can Nail Techs Do Now?*• Speak up & share experiences! If you’re a nail tech in California, how is this affecting your business?• Explore alternative business models like salon suite rentals or collaborative studio spaces.• Stay informed! Follow beauty industry groups like the Pro Beauty Federation for updates on regulations.😂 *Funny & Unfiltered Moments:*• The best Spanish curse words (Cristal swears she’s cutting back… but we’ll see! 😂).🎙️ *Key Takeaways*⏰ 01:00 - 🚨 California Bans Booth Renting for Nail Techs – A major law change went into effect on January 1, 2024, eliminating independent booth rentals for nail techs in California.⏰ 02:00 - 🔍 *What This Means for Nail Techs* – The new law forces professionals to either go commission-based, hourly, or rent a private studio.⏰ 03:30 - 💬 *The Fight Against Booth Rental Bans* – Hairstylists successfully fought against similar restrictions, but nail techs were left out.⏰ 05:10 - 😡 *How Nail Techs Are Reacting* – Some are moving into studios like Sola and Phoenix, while others are considering career shifts.⏰ 07:00 - 🤯 *California’s Wild Beauty Regulations* – You can’t booth rent as a nail tech but you CAN do dermaplaning—and injectables—with a medical director.⏰ 09:00 - ⚖️ *Inconsistent Laws Across States* – Texas restricts dermaplaning without a medical license, while California allows it freely.⏰ 12:00 - 💰 *QuickBooks vs. Xero for Beauty Businesses* – Cristal shares the best bookkeeping software for beauty pros and which integrates better with Square & banking.⏰ 15:30 - 😂 *Spanish vs. English Curse Words* – The duo debates why "pendeja" sounds less harsh than "estúpida."⏰ 16:00 - ❓ *What’s Next for California Nail Techs?* – Cristal & Jackie call for nail techs to share how they’re adapting to the booth rental ban.🖥 *Follow Us for More:**Connect with us on all our social medias*https://www.instagram.com/beautyboundtx/https://www.facebook.com/BeautyBoundTXhttps://www.tiktok.com/@beauty.bound*Cristal*https://www.instagram.com/beautyprobookkeeping/ for Bookkeeping Services or https://www.instagram.com/artsycristal/ Tattoo Services or visit her website https://www.beautyprobookkeeping.com/https://www.facebook.com/BeautyProBookkeeping*Jackie*https://www.instagram.com/skinfinitesanantonio/https://www.skinfinitesanantonio.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084045943776
