Advanced Manicurist
430 clock hours
The Advanced Manicurist Program is a combination of the basic and advanced manicurist programs and is longer than the hours required by the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology. The additional hours allow for additional theory and practical work to better prepare graduates for employment. The program is designed to train the student in the basic and advanced manipulative skills, safety judgments, proper work habits, business skills and desirable attitudes necessary to obtain licensure and for competency in positions in Nail Technology or a related career field.
