Before you ask

No. Most of our 45+ certification courses — braiding, makeup, lash extensions and more — are open to complete beginners. Licensure programs prepare you for Florida DBPR registration or the state board exam from zero.

All classes are taught in English. Printed study materials and textbooks are available in Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese, admissions support is offered in English and Russian, and we teach English for Beauty Professionals as a course.

Yes. In Florida, performing pedicure services — including dry (e-file) pedicure — for compensation requires a Nail Specialist or Full Specialist registration with DBPR. Our Nail Specialist program (180 hours) leads to that registration; the Advanced Dry Pedicure course is advanced technique training best taken after registration or by already-registered techs.

Cosmetology (1,200 h) covers hair, skin and nails and requires the state board exam. Nail Specialist (180 h), Facial Specialist (220 h) and Full Specialist (400 h) lead to direct DBPR specialty registration — no state exam; a 4-hour HIV/AIDS course is included.
