2006 Index of Articles

Compiled by Allison Rost

It happens every year. You get the nagging feeling that you saw a new product or interesting service in Nailpro that you might like to try in the new year, but you can't remember which issue it was in. Since it's January, you want to implement this new feature now and get your salon off on the right foot for the rest of 2007. And of course you don't have the time to flip through all the back issues you've saved.

That's where our 2006 Index of Articles comes in.

Every January, we publish our index so that you can locate exactly what you need quickly and easily. We've separated listings by category and included the headline (in alphabetical order), author, month and page number. Let this index act as the guide to your Nailpro library. But if you're missing a month, don't worry! Back issues can be purchased for $5 each. Click here to order online, call 800/442-5667 to pay by credit card, or specify the issue(s) you want and mail us a check or money order for the appropriate amount. Send your order to Nailpro Back Issues, 7628 Densmore Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91406.
