The Instructor (Ms. Vivian) is trying to retire and close the school towards the end of 2026 to focus on her expert witness & consulting career. Students enrolling after 2024 will see a reduce class day availability. Please be cautious of unprofessional training that does not get you licensed. About 1/4 of our students coming here got scammed from fake salon apprenticeships or poorly run schools that cared more about profits then guiding students towards licensing. 

• In 2023-24, about 20-25 class days are available per month (limit 15-20)
• In 2025, about 15-20 days per month (limit 10-15 students this year)
• In 2026, about 10-15 days per month (limit 5-10 students this year)
• In 2027 we are completely closing the school for Ms. Vivian to retire from teaching

Continued education after being licensed is important for all beauty professionals!
Students should regularly attend advance Pro workshops like CND, OPI, Kupa, NSI, GelX, MediNail etc. Amazing knowledgeable workshops can be done at yearly beauty trade shows in California,  Florida,  Tennesse,  Nevada or New York. Also check other Professional Nail product manufacturers for workshop classes all over the United States and Canada. If the class asks to see your nail license then it means that they are professionals providing a good quality education. 

Open minded safety first learning should be in place when learning from self taught or unlicensed nail teachers. Virginia regulation requires licenses to be posted for clients to view. The second violation is not having a nail/cosmetology license. Not posting a license in a easy to view area can be reported for violation.

Lawsuits are very real and happening all over the US with nail injuries from improper service/chemical use paying thousands to millions of dollars to clients (more if unlicensed). The Instructor here, Ms. Vivian, only teaches part time. Her main job is working with lawyers to sue nail techs and salons across the United States. She works on several cases each month!
