Now Offering Beauty as a Business

We are proud to announce that we have now added Beauty as a Business to our nail technician curriculum! This unique program provides powerful insight on how to use social media to build your book of business, how to ask for and respond to reviews, and even how to get your own website!

Business and marketing skills are becoming more and more important for our students, and we are grateful to be able to offer this program to help our students have that foundation in their future careers.

After graduating high school I was looking for an amazing school where I could start my career. I toured at Hays Academy and it was the perfect fit for me. After starting they soon became family and I created amazing relationships with fellow students. Hays Academy provided a great learning environment to create a foundation in skills that I will carry with me to the salon. In the past year my life has changed for the best and it is because of my experience at Hays Academy.
