When I first decided to attend beauty school, I knew that I wanted to be a nail technician but was not sure what they would entail. It did not take long to find out that the top beauty schools all offer a wide variety of courses. As a result, students who graduate from them are able to perform many jobs in the industry.

Of course, like many other students at beauty schools, I expected most of my courses to prepare me for a career as a nail technician. They definitely did this in courses that covered everything from manicures and pedicures to nail art. As a result, my classmates and I all felt prepared for a job in any salon after we graduated.

In addition to learning how to be a nail technician, there were courses that covered business and how to manage a salon. Having those skills makes any graduate more valuable to a salon because they will be prepared to take on leadership roles. Someday, I may even decide to open my own salon because these courses showed me exactly how to run one.

When students graduate from beauty schools, they cannot get a job until they have passed the test that is required by the state board. Thanks to some specialized courses, we are also qualified to be members of the board and help license other technicians. This is a unique and exciting career path that I never imagined would be available when I first enrolled in school.

All of the top beauty schools offer nail technician courses that help prepare students to be great technicians, but there is so much more to them than that. Students learn everything from how to run a salon to how to sit on the state board as an effective member. When they graduate, they are prepared to serve the industry in a number of exciting capacities.
