Hey all and welcome back to another amazing blog post. Today I wanted to review the top 3 nail schools in Georgia. Of course there are many to choose from so be on the lookout for a part 2!. But for now I will happily give you an introduction into schools you can try or look into if you are excited to become the next great nail tech!
For me, I attended the Elaine Sterling Institute. I did not include it in this list as I wanted to write its own article devoted to just this school if you were thinking about attending it. It was a fantastic school and I have learned a lot through it. However, I felt as though I should give a platform to others and showcase their highlights and achievements they offer.
So let’s start shall we. But before we begin, how do you know if nail school is for you? Or do you want to do nails only? Some schools offer a full cosmetology program and that could get you into the nail industry. I chose to do a nails only program as I only wanted to focus on nails. But this may or may not be the option for you. It is always great to weigh your options so you don’t miss out on all the opportunities that will be presented to you.
It is great to go to a nail school if you genuinely love doing nails, have a fantastic creative artsy style and love to express it on tiny canvases, or if you’ve been doing nails in the kitchen and are very excited to finally be licensed and have your own salon or suite.
So let’s dive in and begin to look at the different or top 3 nail schools in Georgia! Remember, all nail schools will offer programs to lead you up to finishing and graduating. Next you will move on to take testing with the state board, and then you will be finally the nail tech you’ve dreamt of!
This wonderful school located in Norcross, Ga, has a nails only program for those interested.
- This school requires you to complete 525 hours of school
- You can choose a Full time or Part time schedule to suit your needs.
- Tuition is $3,000
- Register at anytime to start.
With a low tuition cost, this school is a great option for those living north of Atlanta. It is convenient with its time requirements and will not last for many months too long as well. I find this very beneficial for those who work full time jobs and have to share their time. They also have a payment plan that you can use to pay for your schooling.
International School of Skin, Nailcare, and Massage Therapy
Located in Sandy Springs, Ga, the ISSNMT school is a place where you can learn multiple trades if you want to be a nail technician and more.
- You are required to complete 600 hours of school
- This school also offers a Full Time or Part time schedule
- Tuition is $10,645
- Register at anytime to start
The ISSNMT School does offer a higher tuition cost, but they have multiple campuses for you to attend their nail programs. Giving you lots of options and flexibility for you when commuting. This is a great school for those looking to cross and learn multiple programs as well.
Shawntay’s School of Creative Nails
This wonderful school is located in Lithia Springs, Ga. Great for the metropolitan area, this local school stands out by offering hybrid classes.
- Requires 525 hours of class curriculum
- Offers Hybrid (online/in person) learning
- Tuition is $4,400
- Seasonal schooling
This awesome school is a great start for nail techs looking to manage their time easier. With hybrid learning it offers a great option for scheduling with those who need more physical time away. With just a quick 16 week program this school offers everything you need to know to be prepared for state board.
So what do you think of all the options presented to you? Do you feel closer to making a decision on what school works best for you? Discovering tuition options and costs can be a big factor into what you can afford. Does a a school offer financing? Mine did, that could help you figure out what’s best as not everyone can afford to go to school upfront. Also looking at schedules, seeing if a full time or a part time schedule would work for you. I did full time going to school in the morning, but went to work in the evenings into the night. Not everyone can do that. So a part time might work for you.
Also don’t forget to reach out to the schools, call them and ask what are their class sizes. You might want to be more personal and do a smaller class if thats what you prefer. But definitely google search and look at reviews of these institutions to see what other people have to say as well. You want to be sure you are going to a credible institution to make sure you are getting quality but also that your money is being well spent.
So take all this knowledge and go choose your next nail school. It is out there waiting for you! I hope this article has helped you make a choice or at least navigate to a direction that will work best for you. And if you have any questions be sure to reach out to those schools or message me through my email or leave a comment. I’ll be sure to help you and answer questions as well. I had a great experience with my nail school so I love to answer questions. Until then thank you for reading, and I will see you next time sweets.
