Welcome to the Salon Success Podcast with Monaco Nail Academy.

Our topics stretch beyond nails and into all things salon related – business, marketing and social media – and at very least hits you with real, honest stories about our experiences. This isn’t school; this is real life, real business, and really freaking hard work.
