State Licensed Education to those wanting a Nail License that must be posted at all times to sell any nail service in Virginia

For over a decade, more than half of our students drive 1-3 hours to attend. We offer a private education that adjusts to each student's own learning style/skill up to licensing. We are a small attentive school that cares about each student.

MESSAGE TO UNLICENSED TECHS WORKING AT HOME:
Years of doing full sets nails at home can burn Techs out from constant odors/dust to you and your family, never really being "off work" from not saying no to $$$ and having people in/out of your home to make your home not your place away from work. Having a license could offer the ability to work at a benefit paying job that pays you a take home salary that could be more than what you earn now because there is no supply cost. Experience working at different beauty businesses with your license can expose you to ideas, visions, connections and training that makes it possible to become a successful business owner of your own professional salon(s) or spa(s) in the future. Having a license gives you more career options later when you become a master at your trade. Just get your license!

Human/Labor trafficking is real and closer than you think.
If you see nail salons or massage parlors with staff that have the signs report it. This is happening all over the United States at an alarming rate. Click the picture above to see the statistics in your state. RECOGNIZE TRAFFICKING
