CHECK IF YOUR VA NAIL TECH IS LICENSED

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.

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

To get a DPOR Nail license a state exam must be passed. Attend our state licensed school to take that exam. Ask yourself: Will DMV give somone a driver's license just because they tell them "but I've been driving unlicensed for a while"? There is a reason a Nail License is required to sell nail services in each state.

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 to your career. Most chemcial burns and allergies in nail services is caused by a untrained Tech. 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. As your books fill you will have less time for school so get your license now!
Be cautious of unlicensed training that will not get you licensed.

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