Our school offers a program of 300 hours that will qualify the graduate to take the NH State Licensing Examination for a Manicurist License and then go to work as a Nail Technician in a nail salon or beauty salon. The state of VT requires an additional 100 hours in order for the student to take the VT State Licensing Examination. Students may complete the extra 100 hours at NESHD in order to take the VT test. An additional charge will apply for these 100 extra hours. The course includes instruction in all manicuring and pedicuring techniques, as well as, sculptured nails, nail tips, wraps and nail repair.
The Manicuring course begins by providing a foundation of knowledge in professional ethics, sanitation, safety, anatomy and disorders and then progresses through the practical skills of client consultation, manicures, pedicures, artificial nails and business skills. The scope of the course includes both theory and practical skills; with approximately 100 hours of theory to be expected.
Students are required to buy and keep updated a kit of professional tools and textbooks for their training. The student may purchase the their kit items on their own from Beauty Industry Suppliers or NESHD will provide each student with their kit. Attendance will be held at abeyance if the student has not purchased a suitable and approved kit at least one month by the start of classes. NESHD reserves the right to make changes or substitutions to the kit items as necessary to respond to the needs of the program.
