What do I need to do to become a nail technician?

Phone up your local colleges and ask for a prospectus and see if they do a beauty or nail course. Most of the colleges should do an adult learners course in the evening, if you work full time. You should get a qualification for these courses, but check with your local college and see.


After you have a qualification the world is your oyster! Good luckWhat do I need to do to become a nail technician?

a jack hammer
I would want my nail technician to have taken a course over a period of time, and to have something to prove she/he knows what she/he is doing.





Good luck!
You can do a night course over a 6 month period but if you want to work in a beauticians maybe you should go to beauty school a learn everything .
let me guess, you have straight blonde hair, fake st.tropez tan, jeans that show your stretchmark belly, you live with your mummy, you have a boyfriend who has a fiesta and you live on a council estate. Right? I bet a few of those things are. The place where I live is full of people like that. Your question just reminded me that's all. Answer to your question, do a one day's course and already you'll be qualified. *lol* A deeply meaningful career.
It may depend on in which state you live. Some require a license, but you will need to go to school to learn the techniques, either way.
Go to beauty school.
You must be aware that different jobs require different types of nails - I'd say the MINIMUM you need is a good hammer and a selection of nails.

Hands and eyes!
Go to either a technical school or a cosmetology college. Check out the various ones in your area as the prices may greatly vary. You may be able to get grants too. Ask students what they think of the schools, they are very honest about the education they are getting. You could also do an apprenticeship at a nail salon if the owner is licensed to teach you. Sometimes, they will just be in it for the $ they'd be making off of you, so you have to be careful of that. Good luck.
It can be done in less than a year. Some people need to work through Cosmetology school so they take the two year course. I would just get it done in a year. Buckle down and go to school and work. Lot's of girls did it when I was in Coz school. Every state is different in their requirements for being a nail tech. In Michigan, you have to go to Cosmetology school. Pass. Pay for and take a state board exam (written and practical). Pass that and then pay and apply for your licence.


It sounds harder than it is.
go to cosmetology school.
Don't bite them!
