FAQ
Answers to our Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer Financial Aid?
Not at this time.
If financial aid is a requirement, you may wish to explore Cosmetology or Barber schools that may also offer nail courses and participate in the Federal Pell Program. We do accept DARS, Social Services or Virgina Workforce
We do not accept Military GI (contact a beauty school in the Northern VA or Norfolk areas for Military Aid)
When can I start?
After paying in full (or making a down payment) to enroll into a date, students will get access to review and complete online study work before attending on their selected class date when paying.

We do not include:
-
state exam fee of $194

These costs are paid 1-3 months after finishing the course here.
Is a Kit included in the cost?
No. A kit is NOT included in our course cost. We provide all supplies in the school for lab training. Students can choose to buy a $800 kit to have for home practice. The kit includes sanitation, mani, pedi, gel and acrylic supplies. A foot soak tub and rolling carrying case is NOT included.

After completion of the course students will be responsible for paying the exam center $194 to book exams. Supplies for the exam is not included and costs about $100-150 (list provided). We sell an optional state tote for $150. The student will also pay the $120 license fee to DPOR after passing the exams to get their licensed. Renewed with a fee every 2 years of $105-150. No CEU's for Virginia.
How can I pay at the school?
BOOK an appointment to pay at the school or call/text the school number to schedule a visit.
What happens when it snows?
Almost all of our students drive an hour and more than half drive 2-4 hours to attend. When there is bad weather like snow we will cancel class and conduct zoom video (if you have electicity). When students don't feel safe to drive they should stay home to study online.
I never finished or took exams after attending here. What do I do?
Reach out to Ms. Vivian to discuss your options to complete an unfinished course. CONTACT FORM
If you have completed your course here and need to take exams reach out to her for help.
What if I miss a class day/hours?
The school is also subject to random attendance reviews by DPOR during inspections.
Any missed class time must be made up during your enrollment period or within 7 days after your final class date to successfully complete the course.
If you are planning to miss a date for a future class that you are enrolled into, contact Ms. Vivian to find an alternative make up date for that class day.
How many students are there per class?
Each class date is limited to 2-4 students per date. We like to keep classes small to ensure that the teacher can focus on each student during training without too much social distractions during their training. Everyone enrolls with different levels of skill, strengths, weaknesses and learning styles.
Can I mix and match days?
No. The new 2026 regulatory changes will not allow you to pick random days or hours to attend. Students are reported for the days they attend so that DPOR can come in at any time to inspect that they are here.
Can I get my nails done here?
Currently we are maintaining an overwhelming waiting list of clients for the next few months. Student services are free whenever students are available. We will have a booking site coming soon. A waiting list form will be available shortly.
Please note that services performed by students may take up to twice as long as those at a regular nail salon, as students are learning and practicing their skills under instructor supervision.
