The curriculum for students enrolled in the Nail Technician program consists of 600 clock hours of Practical Operations and Technical Instruction in the art and science of spa manicuring, which will include at a minimum the State mandated subject hours listed in the chart below. The program provides the student with the knowledge and skills needed for an entry-level spa manicurist/nail technician position in the beauty and wellness industry. Students will learn the State Board requirements for disinfection, sanitation, and safety, as well as basic manicures, pedicures, acrylics, gels, wraps and application of nail tips. Students will learn spa consultation for nail services with an emphasis on creating a “customized spa experience”. This program of study satisfies the requirements of the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers.

THIS COURSE EXCEEDS THE STATE REQUIREMENT BY 75 HOURS.  WE BELIEVE THAT ADDITIONAL HOURS IN SANITATION AND DISINFECTION PRACTICES AND NAIL ENHANCEMENTS ASSIST OUR GRADUATES IN PASSING THE STATE EXAM AND SECURING EMPLOYMENT.
