When you become a nail technician, it’s not necessary to specialize in a certain type of nail service. However, as you’re building your career and your client base, you may wish to do so. If a certain area is your passion and speciality, for example, acrylic nails, it may be desirable to carve out a niche as the go-to acrylic nail specialist in your area. Typically, this level of specialization is pursued by nail techs with an existing client base. Beginners won’t want to close the door on new business by not offering all types of nail services.
