You’re Only Helpless When Your Nails Are Drying

Becoming an Advanced Manicurist is a great way to get into the salon industry quickly. With one of our shortest programs, you can go from beginner to an artificial nail specialist, nail art master or even an educator. If you enjoy attention to detail, a fast-paced environment and making people look good from “tip to toe,” this may just be a match made in heaven.

Extend Beyond the Basics

In our program, you can learn the basics of hand and foot care through both theory and practical learning. We start with teaching you about the structure and function of the nails along with manicuring and pedicuring services, but it doesn’t end there.

You can get hands-on experience while we go beyond the basics to teach you the art of nail design. You can learn how to create artificial nail enhancements, apply different polish techniques and types as well as create beautiful nail art master pieces. We’ll even touch on the business basics of how you can build your book and keep clients coming back. If you love expressing your creativity and adding a little glitter to your nails, our Advanced Manicuring program could be a good fit for you.
