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.
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.

Our passion is to turn yours into a reality. At our schools, we aim to prepare you to jump right into the exciting world of beauty after completing your education. Our fast-paced learning environment will teach you the basics of proper hand and foot care, but at The Ohio State School of Cosmetology and The Spa School, we take your learning to the next level.
With our hands-on training, you can get the practice required to become a skilled Manicurist. A combination of classroom instruction and practical training can help you to gain the skills necessary to excel in the industry and complete the state board examination.
A quality education is one of the best investments you can make, and we don’t believe that financial roadblocks should get in the way of your dreams. While this program does not qualify for federal financial aid, limited financing options may be available to those who qualify. Contact our admissions department to discuss!

Offered only at The Spa School, our Advanced Esthetics students can move directly from our Advanced Esthetics program to a unique Manicuring program offered only at The Spa School. This provides an opportunity for dual licensure in Advanced Esthetics and Manicuring. If you want to add more services to your repertoire and open up more opportunities for your future career, make sure to ask about our Manicuring program for previous Advanced Esthetic students!
Our Advanced Manicuring program is 300 clock hours. The length of the program varies based on the program schedule you choose, as our full-time schedule can take as little as 8 weeks, while an evening schedule (available only at our Columbus location) can take as little as 17 weeks.
We have a variety of start dates as well as daytime or evening classes to accommodate everyone as much as we can.
The best way to get the process started is to talk to our admissions team. You can do this by filling out a form on our website or calling the location closest to you to schedule a tour and start the enrollment process.
