For nail technicians

    Grow your nail clientele with reviews in your name

    Sets that hold for four weeks are why clients rebook. Put that proof on a profile that belongs to you, not the salon's front desk.

    Why nail techs start from zero at every new salon

    Nail work is judged on detail, longevity and design — all things a specific technician delivers. But the review goes to the salon, and the next client is booked with whoever has a gap.

    Move to a suite or go mobile, and the reviews for hundreds of sets stay on a listing you no longer benefit from.

    The gap: a business rating answers “is this place any good?”. It never answers “is this nail technician any good?” — which is the only question your next client is actually asking.

    How to get more clients as a nail tech with verified reviews

    • Design portfolio and verified reviews under one handle
    • Clients can request you by name instead of by time slot
    • A QR code at your station that captures reviews before they leave
    • Your reputation moves with you to a suite or mobile setup

    How to ask nail clients for a review while they dry

    1. Claim your @handle

      One free profile in your name, marked as a nail technician, with your services and area.

    2. Ask after each appointment

      Share one link or QR code while the client is still happy. It takes them under a minute.

    3. Share the proof

      Send your profile to referrals, print the QR, and let verified reviews do the convincing.

    What a nail tech portfolio and review profile should show

    • Services you offer: gel, acrylic, structured manicures, nail art
    • Photos of sets you actually did
    • Verified reviews mentioning wear time and design work
    • Your rebooking link and typical turnaround

    What clients say when the review has your name on it

    Example reviews showing how clients talk about a nail technician once the feedback lives on the nail technician's profile instead of the salon's page.

    • “I followed my nail technician here from the salon — the profile made it easy to check the work before I booked.”

      Elena V.

      First appointment

    • “Finally a way to review the nail technician and not just the front desk. The photos on the profile are exactly what I got.”

      Sofia G.

      Referred by a friend

    • “Booked from a QR code at the end of my appointment. Two taps, review left, and I could see every past client's feedback first.”

    Nail salon reviews vs your own nail tech reviews

    No, and it should not. Google reviews belong to the business and help it get found — keep asking for them. Kleos records the part Google cannot: which nail technician did the work. The same client can review the salon on Google and review you on Kleos in the same minute.

    If you want the Google side sharper too, our how to ask for a google review: 18 scripts covers the ask, the timing and the follow-up rules.
