Nail Technology
This course begins with learning the basics in our pre-clinic classes where we teach natural nail care, manicures and pedicures. Pre-clinic also includes instruction in artificial nails – both with tips and free-form building, including acrylics, gels and wraps. Later in the program we teach colored gels and nail art – with the options available, nail design creativity is limitless.
