Nail care is one of the hottest specialties in the beauty profession today. Nail Technology develops skills in all facets of manicuring, pedicuring, nail extensions and nail art. Students will acquire experience through hands-on training devices, as well as customer work. To obtain state licensing, students must complete 600 hours of instruction and pass the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology written and practice exams. High school students may spend additional hours in training beyond the school year to meet state licensing requirements and for program completion within one year. These hours may be completed during the month of June by making arrangements with the teacher for secondary students.
