Manicuring

Manicuring is a 400 hour course which takes approximately 2 ½ months to complete for full-time students.

You learn the basics of:

  • manicuring
  • pedicuring
  • artificial nails
  • nail wrapping

This course is designed to teach the basic skills necessary to receive a state board license and to begin a career in the manicuring industry.

      Hi Liliana, if you have a license for cosmetology already then try getting a hold of State Board. They will send you the information on what you need to do. Normally they say to put in about 600 hours here.

    • Candace says:

      Oh and our classes are $10,000 total. If you only need to put in 600 hours, the cost would be about $4,170. We do have financial aid available for qualifying students.

    I plan to move to another state after I complete the manicuring program. There licensing requirements must show proof of ;
    Sanitation, sterilization & safety- 70 hrs.
    Basic manicuring & pedicuring – 75 hrs
    Application of artificial nails – 135 hrs
    Laws, rules, & regulations – 25 hrs
    Management, ethics, interpersonal skills & salesmanship – 25 hrs
    Disinfection, cleaning, & safe work practices – 20 hrs

    Does your program cover these areas for the number of specified hours? If so, is there some proof of that to send to their state Board of Licensing?

      Hi Laura:)
      The entire cost for the manicuring program is $3,000, including books and kit. You pay $1,000 when you enroll, another $1,000 when you reach 200 hours, and the last $1,000 is due when you graduate.

    • Candace says:

      Hi Brenda, we are starting a new manicuring class on the 20th, or if that’s too soon the next class will start March 17th. You can make an appointment to get enrolled.

    • Candace says:

      Hi Alexys, no we don’t accept financial aid for the manicuring course. PELL only covers programs that are 600 hours or more, and manicuring is only 400 hours. We do accept credit card payments if that’s easier.

    Does anyone know if these classes are still available and what the schedule is for this course? How many weeks is this ? Anyone gone to this before? Trying to figure out how in depth the artificial nail part goes and buy that we mean acrylic right? Can you pay for this class without signing up for financial aid?

    • Candace says:

      Hi Melanie,

      Yes we still offer the manicuring course. It is Tues-Sat, 8:30am-5:00pm. Financial aid is not available for the manicuring course, so you would have to pay your own way. We do accept credit card payments.
