NAIL TECHNOLOGY COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Nail Technology students will complete a required 400 hours of in school training and earn 4 credits over a period
of 3 years. Nail Technology is designed to enable the students to obtain the theoretical and practical knowledge
necessary to become a licensed Nail Technician. The students will learn 5 methods of manicuring: pedicures, toe
cures, nail extensions (gel, acrylic, and fiberglass), nail repairs, nail art, and other related skills. Initially, work will
begin on practice hands and fellow students. As students advance through the Nail Technology courses, they will
service clients who enter the salon-setting in the classroom.
Along with the compulsory academic courses, Nail Technology students have the opportunity to spend time in
the cosmetology lab developing the practical skills required for the nail industry.
