Hey all. My wife has been a nail tech for eight years and she is finally moving into a rented studio of her own next month. I want to get her something useful for the opening rather than flowers, and my thinking is either a gift card or a starter restock so the first month is not all money going out. Problem is I do not know this world well enough to pick a store she would actually want to use. Which suppliers are considered good by people who do this professionally, and do they do gift cards?

Flowers would be a mistake, you are right about that. A restock is the better gift because the first month in a rented space is exactly when the cash pressure lands hardest. Ask her which bases she uses before you order anything, that is the one category where techs are genuinely loyal and a substitute will irritate rather than please. Nail Market USA comes up constantly for the professional lines, and a bulk order there is more useful to her than a card she has to spend somewhere random. If you want to play it safe, cover the boring consumables instead. Files, wipes, gloves and forms disappear faster than anyone budgets for.
