Run a nail salon business?

With the spa day refresh, is it possible to run a nail salon business out of your home? I think I remember trying to fool around with this when the refresh happened but I don't remember if it worked.
  • Yes you can become a nail technician, although this is not an official career. All your Sim will need is a portable spa chair and Wellness Skill level six.

    The chair can be placed on any lot and your Sim can click it and "tend chair." This will allow Sims close by to stop for a manicure or pedicure. You'll also be able to offer hand and foot massages, although these can be disabled.

    If you want to earn more money from the practice then the Self-Care Specialist aspiration rewards the Self-Care Expertise trait. This enables your Sim to earn more money from all spa services, including manicures and pedicures.

    Thanks for the help. I tested it having a sim do pedicures from home. I clicked "tend" on the chair and she had only two "customers" just walk into the house. Of course, the game being the game that it is, it took her like 7 sims hours to do those two sims. lol.
