advanced nail program

For already licensed nail technicians and cosmetologists


Enhance Your Education and Revamp Your Career

about our program:

Our Advanced Nail Program is for licensed nail technicians and cosmetologists who are looking to completely revamp their nail career. It is a perfect fit for:

  • cosmo’s who didn’t get enough nail education during school but want to fully offer nail services

  • nail technicians who have been in the industry for a long time but would like to learn all the new techniques, services, and treatments

  • new nail technicians wanting to learn advanced techniques

Our program is structured a lot like our apprenticeship program so you can get 1:1 education plus on-the-job training with your instructor. It’s like a 1:1 course on steroids! Since you already have a license we can leave out all of the state board requirements. You also get the freedom to choose which services/techniques you want to learn.

Your training is 2-3 days/wk, lasting 3-12 weeks depending on how many topics you would like to learn.

  • 1 class day (1:1 or 1:2)

  • 1 model day

Starts: TBD on an individual basis

Days: TBD on an individual basis

Hours: 9:30 am - 4:30 pm

CLASS DAY

This day we focus on education and theory. You will be 1:1 or 1:2 learning the topic of the week with your instructor. Each week has a different topic depending on the options you choose.

MODEL DAY

This day we focus on taking models for the topic of the week. You will be responsible for providing at least some of the models to practice on that day. Your instructor will sit with you the entire day to watch, critique and help you improve during real life services.
