Two registrations in one: everything facial + everything nails.
Enrollment opens upon CIE licensure. Leave your contacts — you will be first in line with the exact start date and payment schedule.
The 400 hours run over 4–5 months on half-day, evening or weekend blocks. Most students front-load one specialty and add the second — the order is flexible and planned with your instructor at enrollment.
The kit is included in the all-in price and is yours to keep after graduation.
Practical hours rotate between the nail stations and the skin care room of the student salon. In the final block you run combined face + nails appointments for real clients — the exact service format that makes Full Specialists the most flexible hire in any spa.
Median pay for skincare specialists (facial side): $41,560/yr (national, before tips). Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, May 2024 data. National medians before tips; tips and self-employment income are not included. Not a promise or guarantee of income.
One program, one registration, two complete service areas — cheaper and faster than taking Facial and Nail separately, and you can offer combined appointments.
No — hair services require the Cosmetology license (1,200 h). Full Specialist covers skin and nails.
Two revenue streams per client. Skincare specialists earn a $41,560 national median (BLS 2024); adding nail services raises your average ticket.
Anyone planning a spa career or their own studio. The dual credential doubles the services you can sell per visit and makes you the most flexible hire in a spa.
Hours do not transfer directly, but working as a Full Specialist while studying cosmetology is a common path — you earn in the industry while you add the hair scope.
Enrollment agreements for licensure programs begin after the school's CIE licensure is granted. Join the interest list to get the first start date.
