Our Story
As salon owners, we are always skeptical about hiring new graduates. It didn't matter which school they graduated from, they all required intense training. Most graduates can't paint, do cuticles or shape nails. That's like hiring a painter that can't paint or a chef that can't cook.
​
After years of frustration, we enrolled in one of these schools to understand why graduates struggle with the basics. We noticed the problem is the education that they are getting. It's outdated and not detailed enough. Most instructors hold a cosmetology license, and their primary focus is hair and not nails. They know enough to get you to pass the state board exam, unfortunately that is not enough to make you succeed as a nail tech professional.
​
To put it into perspective, consider a medical scenario: if you needed surgery, would you prefer your family doctor or a specialized surgeon to operate on you? Even though both are licensed medical professionals, clearly the surgeon has more knowledge, experience and skill when it comes to surgery.
​
At Prestige Nail School, we prioritize teaching you the crucial skills needed to excel as a nail tech professional, ensuring that you’re not only prepared for the state board exam but also set up for a successful career in the nail industry.
