How to Become a Nail Tech

Within the world of beauty,  Nail techs often work in a nail salon, nail studios, or spa, but there are a host of other places they can work as well. Nail technicians are able to perform a variety of nail care, nail art, and design services. Beyond nail skills, techs also have knowledge about chemicals and products, safety and sanitation, customer service, and sales.

Tuition for the Advanced Manicurists Program at Aveda Fredric's Institute is offered at no additional cost to graduates of our advanced esthetics program in good standing from the Aveda Fredric’s Institute in most of our locations. Manicuring is included in our cosmetology program and no additional classes are needed for graduates of that program.
