Nail Artist — Junior to Educator

Hi! We're inviting nail artists to join the Svitnail team — and we mean it when we say your craft becomes a real career here, not "just a job."

This is you if

You're skilled in the European dry (e-file) technique — or you're eager to master it with our Educator.
You have at least one year of experience as a nail artist.
You care about clean cuticle work, nail architecture, and healthy nails.
You follow nail-design trends and understand hand skincare.
You love trying new things and aren't afraid to suggest bold ideas.
You love your clients the way we do — a warm welcome, a real "how are you?", and making sure they feel good with you.
You're passionate about your craft.

An official W-2 contract with paid vacation and sick leave.
A stable flow of clients — our booking keeps your chair busy.
Competitive pay, twice a month: your level base + commission + tips.
Everything provided — premium tools, supplies, sterilization, and cleanup. You just create.
SVITNAIL Technique™ training and certification.
A clear path to grow: Junior → Senior → Expert → Educator — and we teach you every step of the way.
Support, and knowing your voice matters — we bring your ideas to life.
A team that values you, respects you, and truly hears you.

Your path & pay

Start as a Junior, grow with us — and one day open your own Svitnail.

All levels: W-2 base (from $25–55/hr by level) + commission + tips. Grow your level, grow your pay.

A portfolio — your Instagram or a few photos — is all you need to start.

Tell us a bit about you. We read every application personally.
