Frequently Asked Questions
Can I come in to get my nails done by students?
Student services are free whenever students are available. We will have a booking stie coming soon, but currently we are maintaining a waiting list of clients for the next two months. A waiting list form will be available shortly.
Please note that services performed by studnets may take up to twice as long as those at a regular nail salon, as students are learning and practicing their skills under instructor supervision.
When can I start?
Students can begin their online theory study immediately after payment. In-person attendance starts in the month you choose when enrolling, giving you a head start on reviweing the theory material before your hands-on classes.
NOTE: To remain enrolled you must start attending in-person classes within 30 days of your chosen start month.
Do you have financial aid?
2010 - present
No, we do not offer financial aid.
Starting around July 2026, the Workforce Pell Program may provide funding for Nail Technology programs completed in 8-15 weeks, with potential awards ranging from $125 to $1,260 depending on your SAI. However, we do not plan to participate in this program.
As a nail-only school, we prioritize small class sizes and individualized instruction to ensure every student receives the guidance needed to achieve licensure. This approach allows us to focus on quality education over high enrollment, which differs from larger programs or multi-training schools that may qualify for this type of aid.
If financial aid is a requirement, you may wish to explore cosmetology or barbering schools that offer nail courses and participate in the Workforce Pell Program.
How often do I have to come in?
