Welcome to Academy of Nails & Esthetics, where passion meets professionalism in the world of nail technology and skincare! Our campus serves North Carolina and South Carolina! Our mission is to empower the next generation of students with the tools, knowledge and latest trends and advancements they need to not only to pass their State Board examinations, but for an amazing career. What sets us apart? Our instructors aren't just licensed--they're extensively experienced professionals who bring decades of hands-on expertise to the classroom. We have built strong relationships in the industry and word-of-mouth remains our school's greatest endorsement. Ask any salon or spa in the area about which school to attend, and you'll hear about our commitment to excellence and our reputation as the best school in the business.
We believe in diversity and exploration, which is why we work with top brands like Dermalogica, PCA Skin and Young Nails, while also encouraging experimentation with other leading products. To keep our students ahead of the curve, we host guest educators who introduce cutting edge techniques and insights.
Whether you're drawn to the art of nail design or the science of skincare, our inclusive and supportive learning environment is designed to help you turn your passion into a thriving career.
