To sell any kind of nail service in Virginia, you must have a Nail Technician license posted from DPOR to avoid a Class 1 misdemeanor...
We are already known for having one of the highest enrollment to licensure rates. Now, we will offer almost 80 hours of hands on training from a Nail Technician Instructor with over 30 years of non-stop nail care experience to answer ANY question and provide extensive training. There is no nail school like us in Virginia and each 2026 class will have a limit of 2-4 students to ensure we can continue the attention that we are known for.
2025 Graduates taking the 2026 Licensing Exams
If you found employment and want to re-review service skills reach out to Ms. Vivian to talk or meet. Graduates can book free nail services by our new students in 2026.
ALL students enrolled here before Dec 2025 (& did not finished their course here by Feb 21, 2026) will be reported to DPOR as not passed and must pay to restart again in the new 2026 program.
Those filing taxes in 2026 for 2025 enrollment cost do not get a tax deduction for nail education like those in more than 600 hour programs like cosmetololgy, esthetics or barbering. You could write off nail supplies (if you were self employed) but why were you self employed if not licensed?
Human trafficking may be closer than you realize. If you notice nail salons or massage parlors with staff showing signs of exploitation, please report it. This issue is occurring across the United States at an alarming rate.
