Manicure

Join the Thriving Nail Services Profession

The nail salon business is booming, and our 300-hour Manicure course will prepare you for success in the industry by delivering the skills and knowledge you need to achieve a NJ Manicure license.

Learn the basics of manicure, pedicure, sanitation, and infection control, as well as advanced techniques like gels, acrylics, and nail art. You’ll also gain a competitive edge with lessons in waxing, a specialty offered by most nail salons, and spa management, to become familiar with the business side of nails and expand your options in the field.

All classes are taught in a newly-constructed, state-of-the-art school facility, built with custom details tailored to the needs of each curriculum to enhance the learning experience for our students.
