What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a more individualized form of nail school than a traditional nail school. With an apprenticeship, you will receive a 1:2 education, rather than having one instructor per 10+ students. An apprenticeship also offers more modernized education and a more relevant, advanced supply kit. Our program is designed to deliver a hands-on approach to schooling, and give a real life salon experience to students, in order to help students build their career while they are in school.
