The nail technology program at our schools prepares students to sit for the state licensing exam, so they can go on to achieve a professional nail technician career. Possible career paths for a nail technician include working in a nail salon, day spa, or high-end resort, managing or owning your own nail salon, or becoming a nail technician educator. Nail technicians also become social media beauty influencers or sales representatives for nail products.
Nail technology is a highly creative and innovative branch of the beauty industry, and it holds a lot of possibilities for students who have the drive to pursue a nail tech career!
