What Can I Learn in the Program?

Our curriculum was designed to educate our students to become a part of the beauty industry. We know that a career as a nail technician takes more than just a love of art. Professionals in the field need to know so much more! Here’s what you can learn at both of our locations:

Curriculum

  • Manicuring

  • Nail Forms
  • Nail Art
  • Nail Design
  • Safety
  • Sanitation
  • Hygiene Procedures
  • Beauty Business Skills

Business + Beauty

You read that right. Our nail students can learn the business of having a beauty career. In this program you can learn networking, business strategy, and more.

Products We Use

Because we strive to prepare our students to work with products they may encounter outside of our schools, we utilize salon-quality brands in our classrooms and student salon. Morgan Taylor and Gelish, among others, can be found on the fingers and toes of our guests and in the hands of our students.

Learn Differently at Our Aveda School

Salon & Spa Floor

We think the best way to learn is by doing. After putting in a dedicated amount of time in our classrooms, students can move to improving their learning and skills in our student salon. There they can provide salon and spa nail treatments on real guests while under the supervision of licensed professionals.

In addition to learning and doing more, they have the opportunity to start building their own book of business and growing a consistent guest count to take with them after they graduate. This also gives students the opportunity to start compiling and organizing their own portfolios of work, perfect preparation for their next job interview.

Our students can enjoy beautifully built nail areas in both of our campuses. Modern, innovative, imaginative, and bold. All things that describe our students and our student salons!

Lectures, Seminars, and More

Listen to and learn with industry professionals, visit local employers, and even start networking with local pros all while you’re in school. Learning in beauty school is different than your average school environment.

Should I Learn Nails?

Those who thrive as a specialist in nails often have the following traits:

  • Outgoing
  • Artistic
  • Bold
  • Inventive
  • Creative
  • Hands-on
  • Empowered
  • Driven

Do you long for a career in the fast-paced world of beauty? Are you looking to begin your future career in the next few months? Nail technology might be your perfect match! Don’t wait! Get started on the path toward your new education today.

A Future in Nails

You can design your future in nails! Put your career in your own hands. Because our program is just 600 hours, it is designed to prepare you for a career you specialize in that you’ve wanted in under a year’s time. After licensure, any one of these careers may be possible!

We believe in leaving the planet in better shape than we found it. It’s important to us that our nail students still live and breath the Aveda lifestyle.
