During your program you will work with and own high quality nail art brushes, a brand new Medicool Pro Power 35K e-file (including bits), an Aprés complete starter Gel-X kit, brand new cuticle nippers and all related implements, and we provide all listed required items for your state board exams — and more.

Earn While You Learn

Our apprentices gain real-world experience by earning commission and tips on services throughout their program — because hands-on learning is just as valuable as mastering the fundamentals. You will learn how to manage appointments in a real salon setting with real paying clients.

Apprentice testimonials

"My apprenticeship with Vayanna has been such a special and unforgettable experience. She not only taught me the skills and techniques I need for nails, but also shared her knowledge about the business side of the industry — like time management, client care, and how to build a career with confidence. What meant the most was the environment that Vayanna and all the techs created. Working alongside them truly felt like being part of a family."

Ajah

"I've been doing my apprenticeship for five weeks now, and I can confidently say that this is the best apprenticeship you can find. To start my nail journey, I was greeted with a full kit of goodies. Every single member of the team has been incredibly kind to me, and I couldn't think of a better introduction to the beauty industry. This apprenticeship has given me more than just training; it's given me a family away from home."

Cadence

"Going the apprenticeship route was the best decision I could've made in my nail career. I've talked to many people who have taken other paths in acquiring their education, and it became clear that I made the right choice. There's just so much more you can learn in an apprenticeship that you can't get in traditional schooling."

Vee

"I chose the apprenticeship program as I needed something flexible, as I have other responsibilities that traditional schools aren't able to work with. It allows for a catered instructional setting, as we work one-on-one with each other. It gives real life salon experience, and opens up the possibilities to work with real customers while still in training."

Noah

"Her expertise and passion for nail technology were evident throughout my apprenticeship. She not only shared her extensive knowledge but also fostered an environment of creativity and encouragement, allowing me to fully thrive as I navigate the nail industry. She also taught me the importance of providing exceptional, professional, and luxury services to all of our clients."
