Late fee
A late fee of $35 is applied on the 2nd  and the 16th after the 1st due if the minimum payments is not paid by 11:59pm on the 1st of the month due. Fees will continues each month until paid up to date. Being late could lock you out of online study with the 6 month deadline still applying. Always communicate early when you have financial issues to get options. Accrued late fees will be due to graduate. All paid late fees go into a scholarship fund for students experiencing hardship during their course. 
 
Paying ahead is to your advantage with no penalties to help process paperwork faster for a quicker course completion without delays to take state exams for licensing. Those paying off a 4-5 monthly payment plan course in full within 60-90 days of a down payment can get a discount of up to $50-150 (depending on which month you pay off the course and what payment plan length you selected). 
 
We are a small school and unlike bigger schools we can offer flexibility to those with financial issues during their payment plan. If you are having financial difficulties or serious life issues then you must notify the instructor before the due date to get flexibility with your payment. There are no refunds on any paid cost here since payment plans pay for cost as used. Your course can be temporarily paused for up to 90 days or you can get time completion extensions with proof of your serious hardship. (Medical, death, job loss, fire etc). Disappearing, not saying anything and just missing payments will create negative opportunities for assistance. We want to work with students having financial issues but consider that we have pre-paid costs to take the course that are non refundable to us (especially our biggest expense for each student to use the online study per month/per student). Just communicate when you are having financial issues, we all have those types of days (we are not here to judge that) we want to see you get your license to have more financial opportunities for the future. It's our passion and why this school exist. 
 
Those that want to quit a course during a monthly payment plan with our in-house financing, can do so without making any more payments and there will be no collection for the future payments. Refunds are not given on payments already made. A missed payment more than 15 days late with no contact made by email, text or phone message (to the school) could instantly fail a student from the course. To restart-late fees applied (before contacting us to quit) will be added to a re-enrollment cost later. 
Those that have issues for allergies to chemicals, attend your first day BEFORE doing acrylics or gels to understand how to avoid this. Mani/Pedi only services can be VERY profitable working in a Spa to never even work with acrylics!
For those that applied with Klarna, Affirm or Apple Pay you must pay back your loan with them (with no refunds) even if you quit the course here.
 
A refund of any paid cost is not given to those that quit a course at any time, this includes paid in full. If you are not serious about completion of the course consider the down payment option. Completed hours for transfer is given based on attended lab days and completed testing at the school. Restarting a quit course will require updated fees paid that varies based on work completed, new updated exam requirements, your completed attendance/testing, when you restart/continue and what you have paid. Contact us to consider a portion of your paid cost to be applied towards another student wanting to enroll (within 30 days of paying in full or making a down payment). We don't get refund on your card transaction fees or pre-paid limited online study access. 
 
Completion delays past six months could instantly fail a student with no refunds. The online study access is paid up front for a use up to six months only. A course can be paused with pre-notification to use the balance of pre-paid (non expired) online study months within the one year of paying to enroll. On the 185th day after enrolling by a down payment or payment in full, if the student has not completed the online study with passed testing at the school (and minimum atttendance), then they have instantly failed the course. To continue a failed or quit course within one year of starting, the newest course cost cost must be paid to restart again. A varied discount of up to $1,500 will be offered based on what was previously completed in the course and what was previously paid. After one year of the first down payment or payment in full then the full cost is due to attend. 
 
Students that missed their payment(s) and did not reach out to us should contact us within a year of quitting the course to see what the cost is to re-enroll and continue finishing the course. We want to see all our students get licensed but we can't do it for you. Contact Ms. Vivian by email to discuss your cost to restart the course before 2026.

Students that did not take their licensing exams within 8 months of completing their course here should reach out to us to see what we can do to assist you with learning new updated exam information. Additional costs for pre-paid limited online study access, class to discuss new updated practical exam steps and/or updated state exam supply time will apply. After 1 year the course you previously took is not current to the state exam to pass it. You may have to repay to start a new updated course to be ready for the updated state exam with a possible discount depending on your previous tests scores here.
