I am studying Managing Nail Technician as a career and was wondering if salons hire felons?

Well I think mosts of them will. I seen a lot of men gets out of prison and they go into barbershop program or they open they're on shop. I seen it on A*E one time.

Most don't actually hire nail techs, but have them work as independent contractors. Some will hire them, many will not, same as in most professions.

Thereis a lot of profession won't hire ex fellons because they are involve personal info like a nursing home or hospital but a nail tech? You are not dealing with personal information there's a better chance of you getting hired there than in a hospital that's for sure.

There is in my area, which is NY - you see "chairs for rent" signs all the time, ads in the paper. Nail techs are also licensed in NY.

Nail techs on the payroll are in the great minority.

I'm in NY. Where are you that this is uncommon?

"Personal information" or lack thereof has absolutely nothing to do with why felons cannot find employment in hospitals and nursing homes.

What is your employment experience or licensing experience in this regard?

Assuming this is the US, you have no idea what you are talking about, sorry but this is the most common method of nail people in a salon. As it is barbers or hair dresses. They are almost never employees, but are paid the house a percent of the money they take in.

It's not called "independant contracting" where I stay at and a lot of salons where I live don't always reant out seats. Have you worked in the salon industry? I have no idea what I'm talking about? I am a student in Managing Nail Technology how can I have no clue what I am talking about?

I don't know where you stay at. I can only tell you what it's called in MY area - by the industry, by the taxing authorities, by the licensing authorities.

I never heard the phrase "rent out seats." I have heard "rent a station."

I don't know how you can have no clue what you are talking about. Again - what State so your original question - can an ex-felon get a license - can be answered? Here are the requirements by State. Some do background checks. Some do not. http://www.ginawallace.com/images/US...l_Licenses.pdf

Then the question becomes if two candidates apply, one a felon, one not, which one would more likely be hired?

Have you studied to be a nail technician? In different states/cities it varies on what salons do. According to my instructor a lot of nail salons in my area do not rent seats anymore and pay weekly/biweekly to their technicians because the salon usually has their own set price for services unlike beauty salons and barbershops in my area where the prices can vary depending on the stylists.

Independent contractor is the proper name and what it will be considered, since you are not an employee, and not "hired" This is a reference that if they pay you from the money taken in, you are a 1099 worker not a W2 employee

As such they are not hiring you, there is really no application but you sign a contract to do work there in return for percentages.

The other is normally an employee who works on commission, based on amount of money they bring in, so you are to try and upsell additional services.
