A State Issued Nail Technician or Cosmetology license must be posted for clients to view at all times to sell any nail service in the state of Virginia to avoid a class 1 misdemeanor and potential lawsuits by clients.  Any certificate, LLC, city/county Business license is not this license.  Any 100% online training and one day classes do not lead to licensure or the ability to open a salon and sell any nail care services. State exams must be passed to get licensed: this ensures the Tech's identity is available plus the Tech has been tested to know how to prevent injury and prevent the spread of blood borne diseases to clients/themselves. Violations of not seeing this license posted can be reported to the state. Funds may be available for some injury cases when reported.

For over a decade students have been driving 1-4 hours to attend this unique school. We offer a private education that adjusts to each student's learning style/skill up to licensing.  We have a high student licensing ratio rate for a reason. A guide for clients going to salons is provided at the end of this page. 

.After completion of our course: Students will also pay to take the state exams for about $200, gather about $100 of supplies to take an exam and after passing both exams $105 to get the State License. Renewed every two years by paying about $105.

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 overhead for you to pay. 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. Just get your license!

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