In the state of Virginia, you must have a DPOR issued Nail Technician license to sell any type of nail service to avoid a Class 1 misdemeanor. Anyone selling nail services (without a DPOR license posted at all times) can be reported for violation. A cease and desist may be issued if violated with issues to obtain licensure in the future.

Send an email with the name of the unlicensed tech and their location to: ComplaintAnalysis@dpor.virginia.gov

MESSAGE TO UNLICENSED TECHS WORKING AT HOME:
Having a license means that you are capable to understand the safety and health of the client as a priority. Most proscecutable injuries, chemical burns and allergies in nail services are caused by unlicensed Nail Techs. 
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 to work less and make more. As your books fill you will have less time for school so get your license now!

Almost half of our students come from scams, closed schools or schools that did not help lead them to licensing. 

Human/Labor trafficking is VERY real and much closer than you think.
