“We take a different approach to education. Instead of concentrating on selling product, we encourage our students to bring in their own,” says Shari Finger, owner of W. Dundee, Ill.-based Finger’s Nail Studios. Through her Nail University, Finger offers continuing education for nail techs. “Our non-product-specific approach allows the student to receive help with the products she is using every day — or a generic product will be supplied at no extra charge,” she says.

Only 12 students are accepted into each class, so everyone receives individual attention. Each technique class includes hands-on time to work one-on-one with an instructor. Technical subjects include acrylics, gels, wraps, nail art, and natural nail care. Along with technical education, each class has a special business section where subjects such as marketing, customer service, and business ethics are covered.
