Virginia Nail School was founded on the idea of improving the nail industry by providing more "Licensed" Nail Technicians into the industry in order to build more respect to our trade. "Licensed" Nail Techs are respected for their ability to provide a safe and sanitary service to the public. Having an actual license opens door for opportunities in the future as their skill and knowledge grows. We are a small private school with decades of experience putting licensed Nail Techs into Virginia. 

About half of our students come here after being scammed by salon apprenticeships, attending unlicensed schools, going to nail schools with a course that did not fully prepare them for an updated licensing exam, leaving schools with instructor/training issues or schools that went out of business. "Nail Education only" schools for profit are difficult to keep open because there is no financial aid offered in Virginia for Nail Education with low enrollment compared to the profitable Cosmetology education. In the past 20 years we have seen most "nail only schools" close or big beauty schools end their nail program within a few years of opening for lack of profits. We are not concerned with profits here and focus on other business endeavors for our income. 

We are SERIOUS about helping our students obtain licensure from their study. We keep our enrollment small enough to focus on each student and offer flexibility to attend. We cater instruction to each student's "own" learning style to lead them to an actual license not just a certificate. The instructor stays available 24/7 to all graduates until they pass their state exams to get licensed. The individual attention and 24/7 direct contact to the instructor during their study is what sets us apart from other schools.
 
We very strongly believe that students that are meant to be here will end up here. We NEVER push anyone to attend this school and enrollment questions will be answered openly for enrollment here or anywhere else. A certificate means nothing without the license (licensing exams are updated regularly). The knowledgeable 30 year experienced instructor updates our own unique course several times a year to ensure graduates (that study and follow instructions) can be ready for the most current exams to get their nail license.
