Cosmetology: Nail Technology

Are you artistic and good with people? Do you love fashion and enjoy expressing yourself through color and design?

Both a science and an art, nail technology is a valuable skill leading to a great career. Nail technology is one of the fastest-growing specialties in the field of cosmetology. Nail technicians work exclusively with clients' hands and feet, providing manicures, artificial nail enhancements and pedicures using the most up-to-date products and techniques.
