I went here last year under the nail technician program and it was a great hands on experience. They supplied me with all of the tools I’d need to be successful. I’m now a year in working at a nail shop with a steady clientele thanks to the job placement program. 10/10 recommended if you want to get licensed.

Extremely pleased with my progress in the Nail Tech Program at Academy of Hair Design! Signing up was the first step toward opening my own shop. Truly feel that every hour I'm in school I'm literally taking a step toward my business.
Nail tech schools don’t just teach you how to paint nails – they empower you to become a nail artist! We’re passionate about nail design for both men and women, and love staying up-to-date with the latest trends and styles. Whether you love a classic, square french tip, or rock a colorful stiletto set, we do it all here at Academy of Hair Design.

Our nail program, students, and faculty all bring a ‘wow factor’ you just have to see for yourself! We work with professional products and real clients in a fun, high energy setting. Our nail center features a generous work space where we host up to 500 customers per month! Come visit Academy for Hair Design and take a tour to see if it’s the right fit for you. We can’t wait to meet you!

We know how crazy life can be, which is why we aim to make our nail tech program accessible for any schedule. We offer both day and night classes, both part time or full time, and start dates begin monthly, including the summer.
