When choosing to be a Nail Technician, you will prepare to enter into a fun and creative profession. Students learn to express their personal creativity as they perform nail services.

The Nail Technician program is a minimum of 300 hours and prepares students to take the State of Utah Nail Technician licensing exam. Students receive valuable experience focused on the importance of various nail services including sanitation, communication and skill. Successful students will provide a variety of services for their clients, including manicures, pedicures, nail art, acrylic nails and gel nails. As students develop the skill and passion for the nail industry and are successful in passing the State of Utah Nail Technician exam, they can work in a traditional salon, spa or independently in their own personal nail salon.

Being a nail tech has been amazing! I have had the opportunity to grow in ways I never expected. I have loved being able to meet so many new people who may have started out as clients but are truly friends now.
