What steps do I need to take to become a licensed nail technician?

I know that I need to attend a cosmetology/beauty school, but can you tell me the following:





How long does it normally take to earn a certificate





How many hours does a person typically need to earn





How quickly can I begin working as a nail tech once I graduate





Thanks!What steps do I need to take to become a licensed nail technician?
You take the nail Tech course(Unless you want to be licensed in hair and skin too.), The Tech course depends on your states hours, It's usually alot shorter then the Cos. Course(Go to your Cosmetology State board for your state, and look it up, They usually have the hours on how long it takes.), If you get a working permit(Not sure how this goes in your state, But in maine, You can get a 6 month working permit.)...You then go to boards, take your test, and if you pass it, You get your license(Not right then and their, You have to send out the money.), and then you are fully licensed.What steps do I need to take to become a licensed nail technician?
Well, my wife is a licensed nail technician, and it took her 16 years to fully earn her certificate. Rigorous tests, years of schooling, but it all payed off. She sacrificed her social life, having to study each and every day for hours on end. Because of the high demand for this profession, you have to go BIG or go HOME as they say...
actually u dont have to take cosmo


i say dont take cosmo you only cover nails for 2 weeks


go to a nail tech program it takes about a year


most of our nail tech girl get a job before they graduate and start working the day they pass the state test its a really easy test


*they guy who said it took his wife 16 years either lied or his wife is really stupid but he was right about them getting paid a lot usually 30-65 bucks an hour depending on the side of town you go to
