There are other ways to get beauty training on the Gulf Coast — community colleges with three intakes a year, corporate chains, single-niche nail academies. Here is what we do differently.
Hands-on from week one
Classroom theory is short. You practice on mannequins, then on real clients in our student salon — under licensed instructor supervision.
Medi foot care — our signature
Advanced dry pedicure, compromised skin & nail care, non-invasive ingrown nail support. A niche almost nobody else teaches — with clients who have nowhere else to go.
All-in honest pricing
The price you see includes the $150 enrollment fee, books and student kit. Payment plans with no interest. Nothing hidden.
Small groups
Limited seats per intake — the instructor actually holds your hand until the technique is perfect.
Materials in 4 languages
Classes are taught in English; printed study materials are available in Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese — plus an English for Beauty Professionals course.
Career path, not just a certificate
Business & marketing training, portfolio building, job-search support and a roadmap from graduate to salon owner.
The honest numbers
What we bring to the table: modern techniques, small intakes and instructors who still work with real clients. Entry-level pay in the industry is public data: 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.
- Manicurists & pedicurists — median $34,660/yr (BLS, May 2024)
- Skincare specialists — median $41,560/yr; top 10% above $77,330 (BLS, May 2024)
- Hairdressers, hairstylists & cosmetologists — median $35,420/yr (BLS, May 2024)
What moves you above the median is exactly what we teach: premium techniques, client retention and business skills.
