Commit to the practice
We understand the excitement to move forward to the next lesson but learning is a process that requires time. Make sure you are turning in your best work. We carefully take into consideration the time (on average) it takes a student to complete a course, in addition to the time for a teacher to check assignments. Those factors are included for courses with limited timeframes. The only exception to this is when we offer deep discounts during the holiday season.
Be challenged by our educators
The relationship between student and teacher is important to us. We know that having an assignment declined can be frustrating. However, our educators will critique your work to help you become a better nail technician. They will offer new perspectives on your work and may require you to make adjustments. For experienced nail technicians, educators will help you break out of your comfort zone, change old habits, and expand your skill sets. Most importantly, it is imperative that you never compare yourself to others. Our teaching criteria will differ from student to student depending on their level of expertise.
We look forward to being part of your journey, and are eager to see what you can achieve with your talent and dedication!

Is the course still going this year?
Natural tips are more flat and imitate actual tips. While sculptured nail tips have a deeper c- curve and look more like nails on forms. We recommend taking sculptured tips as they will fit to most nail types.
We are not absolutely sure that our certificates will be accepted in this state, however, we can assure you that we provide qualitative education.
We provide continuing education and skills. If license is required in your country you need to contact local board of cosmetology or other authorities. Licensure is government regulation. We provide continuing education and skills for current nail technicians.
