Manicuring/Nail Technology

A career as a Nail Technician can offer individuals the chance to feel pride and satisfaction in what they do. Opportunities are endless for nail professionals, from working in a salon to owning your own nail spa. As a licensed Manicurist you would be able to offer creative, relaxing and beautifying manicure and pedicure services to your clients.

The Manicuring/Nail Technology curriculum provides competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the nail technology industry. The curriculum provides a simulated salon environment which enables students to develop manipulative skills. Course work includes instruction in all phases of professional nail technology, business/computer principles, product knowledge, and other related topics.

It is our goal to provide you with the knowledge needed to take the North Carolina Cosmetology State Board Licensing Exam and upon passing be licensed and qualify for employment in beauty and nail salons, as a platform artist, and in related businesses.
