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.

Testimonials

"I have been a student here since April 2014, I can only say it’s a great place to learn and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The instructors and staff are the best."

Lyndsey Marie Boudrie

"The student did careful, excellent work. It took forever, but she was just trying to do it well. She trimmed and shaped my nails, massaged my feet and legs, painted them (having advised on the color). I got a pedicure."

Mark Moritz

"loved my color done by Deja. and my eye brows turned out great as well. enjoyed my experience."

Susan L.

"This is a really nice place to get a good haircut for cheap. $9.50-$13.50! You can give a really great tip and it’s still very, very affordable. The students do a really precise & excellent job under the supervision of their instructor."

Katie Riedinger

"This is my second visit to the spa school. I went in for a simple cut with layers and Huda was an excellent stylist! She had great ability to make small talk so there wasn’t the awkward silence. She also Consistently asked if the temperature of the water and blow dryer were OK, which I appreciated! The cut was great and her instructor said she did a great job! I was very happy with it."
