Get Licensed as a Nail Technician or Manicurist
In most states nail technicians are legally required to hold a license. To gain this license, you must complete training at a registered educational facility. Following this course, you must then pass a nail technician licensing exam. The specific requirements needed to become a nail technician may vary from state to state, so it is essential for you to research and become familiar with the needs of your own personal circumstances.
There are also different regulations that revolve around working within a business or working as a freelancer as a nail technician. Some states also have age restrictions in place for training and employment or require a high school education or the equivalent. Most states also require their artists to be at least 16 years old, so again, it is best to conduct your own research into your specific situation as your options moving forward may change.
