This is a great thread! For the record, I would never purchase a client list, but if someone would be willing to pay for mine, I would sell it. Clients do not need to know they are being sold. Look at it as it is just a list. Now as for who is the best in your area, hmmmmm, that is pretty subjective. I adm not embarrassed more am I conceited to day that I am the best in my area. I have seen ALL the nails from every salon and chop shop. Their work is shoddy. You could not pay me to go to any of them. This week I got so new client from one of the"upscale" salons. Nothing but so snooty, snotty nss. This woman had a two tone shellac french. It was awful!!! I would rather teach a tech MY way, then sell him or her the business. Good luck with your choice!

For example; Jane gets a French Gel Fill for $35, Sally gets a natural nail manicure for $20 and Lucy gets a Shellac Manicure for $30. You sell each name for the price of one service, the price of the service that each client gets, so, Jane is worth $35, Sally, $20 and Lucy, 30 and so on for each name that you are selling. The theory behind this is that the clients will most likely give the new tech at least one try, most will give them 3 try's to earn their loyalty, so the purchasing tech is buying the chance to earn new clients. It will cost her nothing to try because she will recoup her investment with just one appointment. As for finding a buyer, the nail tech mailing list, a sign with an explanation of the benefits of buying your clientele posted at your local beauty supply, telling your supply store sales rep that your clientele is for sale, Craig's list, Facebook, Twitter and even a notice on the job board at your local grocery store. Print up a flyer with paragraph 1 in your own words with your contact information on it and post it everywhere. You could also sell it off in pieces. Ask around and find out who is the best natural nail manicurist in the area and offer your natural nail client list to them. Find out who is best at gels and sell them your gel clients and so on. Best of luck in your new career! New beginnings can be scary, but they can also be exciting, energizing and a lot of fun! Best wishes.
