Is a salon suite right for me?

For beauty professionals only — not for booking services

Clarkston clients value a private, quiet appointment and will drive past closer salons to see someone they trust. At 5480 Sashabaw Road, Cosmo Clarkston leases private nail suites with 24/7 access.

Nails at Cosmo Clarkston

That loyalty suits nails well. A client who books a pedicure every month and a manicure every two weeks can stay with you for years, and a quiet suite is where that relationship grows.

Many clients here work non-traditional schedules, from small business owners to semi-retired professionals, so midday and early appointments fill as easily as evenings.

What a nail suite at Cosmo includes

Every suite is a private, lockable room that you set up for manicures, pedicures and nail art.

  • Room for a nail station and a pedicure chair, laid out the way you work
  • Something of equal value for your nail work, in place of the shampoo bowl hair stylists receive
  • A design package with a full-length mirror, millwork, a workstation and a luxury light fixture
  • Utilities, Wi-Fi and commercial-grade washers and dryers on site for towels
  • 24/7 keypad access, with exterior and doorway security cameras
  • No extra charge to share your suite with another licensed professional

Nail services that suit a private suite

Nail clients come back more often than almost any other beauty client. A fill every two to three weeks and a monthly pedicure mean a full book is built on regulars, and regulars want the same tech in the same quiet room.

Plan your air before you open. Michigan requires adequate ventilation for nail work, and a source-capture extraction unit at the table pulls acrylic dust and monomer vapor away from you and your client before it spreads through the room.

You choose your own systems, whether gel, acrylic, dip or builder gel, along with your products and your menu.

Licensing for nail techs in Michigan

Nail technicians need a Michigan manicurist license from the Board of Cosmetology at LARA, or a cosmetology license that covers nails. Training is 600 hours for anyone who started on or after July 1, 2024, and 400 hours before that.

Your suite must be licensed as a cosmetology establishment and pass a state inspection before you take clients. Inspectors look for adequate ventilation, hot and cold running water, a pedicure basin if you offer pedicures, and nonporous surfaces you can disinfect.

Michigan bans methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, blades in manicures and pedicures, and filing that exposes the nail bed. Confirm the current rules with LARA before you open.

Building a nail book that refills itself

  • Pre-book the next fill before the client leaves. At two to three weeks a visit, pre-booked clients fill your calendar for you.
  • Photograph every set in the same good light. Nail art is visual, and clients choose a tech from photos.
  • Offer take-home care such as cuticle oil and hand cream. In your own suite you keep 100% of your service and retail revenue.
  • Ask for a review after a first visit, and give clients a reason to send a friend.
