Industry Guide
Salons need to stay modern to compete. New stations, updated decor, better lighting, and comfortable seating keep clients coming back and attract new ones.
Gel polishes, acrylics, nail art supplies, disposables, and sanitization products need to be purchased in bulk. Wholesale orders tie up cash before services generate revenue.
Pedicure chairs, UV/LED lamps, ventilation systems, and sterilization equipment wear out and need replacing. Quality equipment improves service speed and client satisfaction.
Expanding into lash extensions, waxing, facials, or microblading requires training, licensing, and equipment investment before the new services generate income.
Finding and training licensed nail technicians takes time and money. New hires need to build their client base before they're profitable for the salon.
A successful salon owner looking to expand needs capital for lease deposits, buildout, equipment, and initial inventory for the new location.
Nail salons are a bread-and-butter industry for MCA funders. High volume of small transactions, consistent daily card processing, and repeat customers make them low-risk and easy to underwrite. Most funders will take a nail salon deal without much hesitation as long as the bank statements look clean.
The typical nail salon processes a high percentage of revenue through credit and debit cards, which gives funders clear visibility into daily sales. Cash tips and walk-in traffic add to the picture, but funders primarily evaluate the card processing statements and bank deposits. Salons with booth rental models can be trickier since the owner's deposits may not reflect total salon revenue.
Deal sizes for nail salons typically range from $10K to $75K. Multi-location salon owners or those with additional services like waxing, lash extensions, and facials can qualify for more. These deals move fast — clean statements, 6+ months in business, and $8K+ in monthly deposits will get offers from most funders on the list.
