Boost Profits with HONA Cuticle Oils & Sanitisers
Raising your prices isn't the only way to earn more as a nail tech. Sometimes the biggest opportunities are already sitting on your nail desk.
Retailing aftercare products is one of the easiest ways to increase your income without taking on extra clients or extending your working day. Whether you're selling cuticle oils, cuticle balms or hand sanitisers, a few retail sales each week can quickly add up.
Here's how
Why Retail Matters
Retail doesn't have to feel pushy.
The reason retail works so well in a salon is because your clients already trust your professional advice. When you recommend an aftercare product, you're helping them get the most from their manicure not simply trying to make another sale.
Using your retail products during every appointment also allows clients to experience them first-hand. By the end of the service, they've already fallen in love with the scent, texture and finish, making purchasing feel like a natural next step.

Make More with Cuticle Balm
Our HONA Cuticle Balm is one of the easiest products to retail.
Created as a richer evolution of our much-loved Cuticle Oil, it's packed with nourishing ingredients including cocoa butter, shea butter and our signature cuticle oil blend to provide long-lasting hydration.
It's ideal for:
- Dry cuticles
- Hands
- Elbows
- Knees
- Any dry areas that need extra nourishment
Its luxurious vanilla scent and premium packaging make it an easy addition to any retail display.
Profit Opportunity
Our retail bundle of 12 Cuticle Balms has been designed to help nail techs maximise their profit.
Purchase the bundle at the discounted trade price and retail individually at the recommended retail price to generate almost £60 profit from one bundle.*
A Salon Favourite: Cuticle Oil
No manicure is complete without Cuticle Oil.
Handmade by HONA in South Wales, our bespoke formula combines skincare-inspired ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil and Vitamin E to deeply nourish cuticles and support healthy nails.
Regular use helps to:
- Hydrate dry cuticles
- Prevent hangnails
- Support healthy nail growth
- Keep manicures looking fresher for longer
Available in a wide range of bestselling scents, Cuticle Oil is the perfect impulse purchase at the end of an appointment.
Profit Opportunity
Whether you choose our bundles of 6 or 10, Cuticle Oil offers an excellent return while giving your clients an aftercare product they'll use every day.
Complete the Routine with Hand Sanitiser
Hand Sanitiser has become much more than a hygiene essential, it's now part of the salon experience.
Our glycerine-enriched formula kills 99.9% of bacteria while helping to prevent hands from feeling dry or tight after use.
Available in both salon and retail sizes, it's the perfect companion to Cuticle Oil or Cuticle Balm.
Recommend the complete handcare routine:
- Clean with Hand Sanitiser.
- Nourish with Cuticle Oil or Cuticle Balm.
Simple for your clients. Great for your retail sales.

How a Few Sales Can Add Up
Retail doesn't need to become your main source of income to make a real difference.
For example, selling each week:
- 4 Cuticle Balms
- 5 Cuticle Oils
- A handful of Mini Hand Sanitisers
- A few Full-Size Hand Sanitisers
could generate around £100 extra profit without adding extra appointments to your diary.
Over the course of a month, that's around £400 in additional revenue from products you're already using during every service.
