About the Program
More than a license — a career.
Our program covers manicures, pedicures, artificial nail enhancements, and diverse forms of nail art. You'll graduate with the technical skills and the business mindset to build a personal brand that clients follow and book out weeks in advance.
Hours
State-Licensed
Hybrid Schedule
Train without putting your life on hold.
The Nail Specialist program runs on a hybrid model — your hands-on practicals are scheduled in-person across ~11 weeks, while the theory portion is completed online on your own schedule. Most students keep their day job and graduate ready to take the Florida State Board exam.
In Person
2 days / week
Hands-on practicals at our Fort Pierce campus. Real clients, real tools, real chairs — no simulations.
Online
Theory on your time
Complete the theory portion online when it works for you — mornings, evenings, weekends. No fixed class times.
Graduate
~11 weeks
Most schools take 8–12 months. You'll be ready for the state board in about 11 weeks.
