Do you have to have a license to practice as a nail technician? The answer really depends on where you live- in today’s Biz Talk Tracey and Habib discuss where you must have a license, as well as where it is okay to practice without one.

“How do two brothers get into the nail care business?” This is the single most common question people ask us. There’s a long and rocky version but we’ll give you the short one. We have our fearless and unconventional mother, Young Salo, to thank. With a single-minded entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to start her own business at the age of 49. She had a passion for the nail industry and we did everything in our power to support her. In the end, this is a family business.
Greg, the older brother, became a licensed nail technician after switching gears from fire fighter’s training. He is energy personified and has a true passion for developing the best professional nail care products and education. Habib is the younger brother. He jumped in a few years later; taking a detour from medical school and a life in music. He brings his own creative mind for business, marketing and strategy. Unexpectedly, we are a perfect team.
Today, more than 20 years later, Young Nails Inc., is a professional nail care manufacturing company exporting to over 40 countries worldwide and distributing domestically to over 3000 stores. We’re respected for our next-level product innovation and education. Our mission is to bring you the best quality products and we’ll show you how to use them with incredible results. It’s really that simple.

I’m a DIY-er and have looked into getting a license. It was a turn off when I heard schools charging thousands of dollars just to pass the board and not really teach you the skills to do nails. I also agree that a license doesn’t guarantee a good tech. That’s the whole reason I started doing my own nails - I got tired of mediocre results from professional chop shops.

@brandyquintana5649 4 года назад

I totally agree w u.. that's why I started doing my own nails cuz the salons in my area were not very good and charging me up the wazoo for ugly results.. 🤔

@glossnailsupply3762 4 года назад

So if you don't want to get a license, then you BETTER understand the golden rules to Nailcare!!!

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

Right, the education is more for sanitation and client safety

@regisnyder 4 года назад

Anika Gabrielle I agree! Because of YN and The Nail Hub and Hillary Dawn Herrera, I’m very interested in getting my license so I could justify charging what I would charge vs being a unlicensed tech just trying to get by. However in my state it’s 600 hrs of schooling! I have a 9 to 5 job (M thru F). It would take me forever to complete 600 hrs (training and practice). Plus I’ve heard a lot of schools in my area are shady - scheduling training outside of availability which puts a student behind; therefore causing the student to add more training time at the end of her/his expected end date. (Which means more loans being applied to the training.)

@queenshad1161 4 года назад

I got licensed but it was a total waste of time and money. The money I spent could have gone to buying product. All I learned was sanitation, anatomy of nails and the VERY VERY basics on enhancements. I didn’t learn how to properly do an apex for longer nails and how the apex placement varies by length, how to do other shapes, how to use forms, why my gel polish kept wrinkling or why the nails kept lifting. I learned more online than I did in school. They just handed me the book, I did tests on how to properly disinfect, and when it came to hands-on practice they would just throw clients at me who wanted a free set to do their nails and I had to learn things myself. Having a license doesn’t mean you’re better. I think the US should either drop that requirement or make it less expensive and actually improve what is taught.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

Right, I think it is pretty standard that schools don't teach much technique more so just client safety and sterilization. The US is one of the few countries that requires licensing. Of course it is most important to continue education after school to perfect your craft. I always say school is like high school and the education you seek out after is like college.

@celiallool3247 3 года назад

Really true. You invest a lot of money only get the paper or permission To work in the beauty industry just like in any other profession. Time and dedication to keep learning makes a difference in what you can do with it.

Seems like it is harder to become a nail tech in America than in South Africa 🇿🇦 which is sad as if you qualified nail tech in SA u won't be able to practice in America for instance

@Danellr007 4 года назад

I think that states should give you the option of taking the exam even without the 400+ hour school that does not teach you nails but disinfection, or online courses to teach those things so people were not doing nails without a license. If you can pass, great here you go.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

That would be an interesting option.

@barbaramatthews4735 Год назад

I'm sorry I disagree. I went through the process of going to school. I went through manicure part first then got a full cosmetology education. You really need the education. You really learn aot more in school than watching online videos. There is no regulation on RU-vid if it is correct or not.I What if other occupations allowed to test out? Nurse? Fire Fighting? Dentist? I'm speaking of the US. Other countries probably have some training programs. They have different regulations and ways of doing things.

Not if you get fined or sued. There are nasty people in the world who will slander, accuse you of untrue things like injury. If someone attempted to sue you they can use having no license against you, and it will be counted against you. It takes one person the destroy everything that you worked for.

@imbadatlife1377 4 года назад

I definitely agree with you but in some states like mine New York it is illegal to practice cosmetology without a license so all somebody has to do is get mad and Report you and just because you have no license you will go to jail it is against the law it's sad

@han3lla 3 года назад

I’m 16 and I’m self-taught. I’m old enough to get a license, but unfortunately I have to graduate high school first in order to get my license. I’ve spent many hours on researching and educating myself on sanitation, nail products, and technique. I love your channel, it has helped me improve a lot. I hope to get my license as soon as I graduate high school. I think it will be a good side job for me while I’m studying in college for my other degrees. In the meantime I have 4 sisters, my mom, family, and friends that I have been practicing on. I started off with learning how to work with press-on nails just to learn the basics of how to prep the nail and apply gel polish and dip powder. Then, I started learning how to work with nail-tips. I am now working on perfecting hard gel, next I will work on acrylics. I’m very thankful to have parents that can invest in me. I feel like a lot of it comes so natural to me though, I’m very impressed and excited with how amazing my sets are turning out already!! I honestly don’t think that a license should be necessary to be a nail tech, I think that self-taught nail techs should just really enunciate that they are self-taught if they are providing services and be careful with those in their clientele/who they choose to provide services for. But unfortunately the U.S. doesn’t work this way, so for legal reasons I must abide to the law since I would like to have a larger clientele someday (And not get fined for it.) 😅

@Denisejohn65NailEd 4 года назад

I always enjoy these discussions . I think why the USA requires a license in all 50 states is because it’s such a sue happy country . You can get sued for doing the wrong thing to someone if they get an infection. That’s again , probably one of the main reasons there’s so much Emphasis put on sanitation in schools . They teach what we as nail technicians are allowed to do in our scope of practice as well . Seems like every trade has a license in the USA . It’s to cover yourself and you can get insurance to protect yourself if you get sued . You can open a business legally .... and pay taxes ! 🤣 But yeah , coming straight out of nail tech school doesn’t Guarantee you will know how to do nail enhancements of all kinds .... sadly ...

@MissANailArtist 4 года назад

Attending nail school can be a great experience if you're open minded! Most people who are "self taught" are not open to learning new things. I speak from experience. However when I did open my mind to learning especially because I was paying for it I learned more than just safety and sanitation. Yes a license covers people while practicing, but you forget liability insurance, and safeguarding the public from the spread of diseases and infection, what nails to work on which ones not to. RU-vid has a lot of resources, but people don't know the videos are edited and say nothing to techs on videos reusing files and buffers, reusing the same efile bits. I'd say if you're interested in getting a license do it, visit the school and get a vibe for the environment. What experience does the instructor have? Be open to learning and look forward to becoming a lifetime learner. Continuing education is key in our industry.

@Denisejohn65NailEd 4 года назад

Exclusive nails with Vonne ....It might as well be all 50 , because come October this year 2020 , Connecticut will need a license. Then , YES it will be all 50 states .

@rhondaallison7815 4 года назад

I've always thought it was a little hypocritical how people look down on someone that is self taught because aren't we all self taught? I can't think of 1 person that never practiced or played around with nail products before deciding to go to school and honestly even after going to school 90% are still self taught bc school didn't teach them to do nails only what they needed to pass state. I think a lot of the people that criticize forget that. The school in my area was up front and told me they would only teach what we needed to pass our test and the rest was up to us.

@brandyquintana5649 4 года назад

I totally agree w u.. just cuz someone has a license doesnf make them an actual pro.. out of school there real education begins.. so me being self taught I already have a lot of the tools I need and get my license after lol if that makes sense haha.😅

Getting licensed opens doors for nail tech as you can work anywhere!! Specially when just starting off . You can work in a salon to get real hands on experience !! And also built a clientele. If you do a good job your clients will follow you anywhere you go!!

@linseyvallett3069 Год назад

I love this conversation and really all of the knowledge you guys are willing to impart. I'm a nail tech novice (unlicensed) using polygel as my medium bc I don't like the smell from acrylic. I want to start taking on clients and charging but have this hangup about not having a license. From what I have been able to gather from your videos and others is that the sanitation is the biggest thing you learn with obtaining the license. Thank you so much for this conversation and including your audience.

@jocelynvelasquez592 4 года назад

even though i don’t want to become a pro licensed nail tech, i’d still go out of my way to learn sanitation and everything that you would need a license for just to protect myself, i only want to learn how to do nails for myself and maybe as a small side hussle instead of it being my entire career

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

@danayager 3 года назад

There is a clear learning curve happening regarding the internet/today’s educational resources and licensing laws. There should be a way to loosen up licensing laws without endangering customers. For example; allowing for quick safety certifications in different artistic fields so more people have the ability to work from home without fear of being fined or sued. They can use the internet to learn the craft and just get certified in safety.

@christinalacy4141 4 года назад

Thank you for this video. The topics you touch on are so important. I wish more people were open minded like you about nail techs whether licensed or not. You are right license or not, everyone doing nails should know proper sanitation and other important things that impact the client and tech. I agree with people's comments about letting the client know in advance if you dont have a license, we are all adults and should be responsible and ethical no matter if you work put of a salon or ur home. Thank you Young Nails for everything you do, you are appreciated!

@Hellsbelle13 4 года назад

I work in a salon without a license. I feel as though I learned more in the salon than I ever would with schooling. I've researched codes and laws and everything about sanitation (because they didnt tell me anything about that when I first started). For me personally I don't see a license meaning much about professionalism. I work with people who are licensed and do terrible work and aren't clean. I am now apprenticing and will be doing hours so I can get a license but that's only so I dont have to stress when state board comes in.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

@Oechibell1 4 года назад

You guys are so inspiring and a great mentors... I used to go to a license nail tech in Amsterdam. They would buff my nails for enhancement and file till my nails started to burn. When I told them it hurts more pressure they buffed. I am not talking about how my cuticle was chopped. I was traumatized and never went to a salon. Instead I started doing my own and after some course I started to do clients. First I practiced first before I did my first set.

I’m a Nail Tech in the UK, I have a licence as it’s required here. I only did a weeks course though so it’s fair to say I’m self taught. I’ve just watched a lot of RU-vid and practised designs on a practice hand. We need a license so we can purchase public liability insurance to cover our backs. It was a long time after I did the course that I was at a point I could take money for a service. My nails were finished to a good, hygienic standard, but I was far too slow. Thanks for all your education, you’ve taught me a great deal. Xxx

@Ezster69 4 года назад

Well, licensed nail techs are running a business and charge reasonable prices for the art, the non licensed nail artist usually don't have to run it like a proper business. They don't want to deal with liability insurance, permits, and other licenses to be legal. They don't know or don't charge for designs because they don't understand the costs of labor and materials. We do, because we need to pay taxes and everything else.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

It should never be mandatory to attend a nail school to pass a liscensing exam. Educating oneself online and being allowed to take the exam only without paying out thousands should be allowed. I therefore sympathize with the non liscensed group in this respect. The state should never make it near impossible to get said liscense in the current situation in the USA.

Commenting a year later. Last year due to quarantine I got into nails. Thanks to RU-vid, TikTok, Google, IG and FB I’ve learned a lot. Amazon knows me personally. I went to a licensed nail tech in a salon and got a horrible infection and never went back. I say the key is sanitation. I would be willing to take classes for that. Not spend 4500 for certification. I could get that paper and suck!

I almost paid someone to teach me thinking I'd get those hours & go take my test. Apparently you can even pay to get fake licenses, There's a lot of illegal activity going on so make sure y'all know the laws & save yourself from being scammed & getting in trouble. This was a great video. I started off doing nails on my own for several years then went to school so I got lessons from both sides.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

@missjones5602 4 года назад

I am self-taught as well and on the school there's so much for that you need to know aside from the acrylic application or the gel application that a lot of DIY you're so self-taught don't even research or think about. for instance safety and sanitation what to look for in the different issues of the nails. As with any school they are there to teach you the basics and give you a foundation to build on. Schools do not teach you skill, experience cultivates and sharpens your skills.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

Correct

@jadalong9587 3 года назад

This was a great discussion and I totally agree! I saw a post on Instagram a few weeks ago where a professional nail tech posted a blog about why she thought licensing wasn't necessary and the people in the comments (even licensed nail techs who know they didn't learn a damn thing in nail school) were hammering into her like "it is so important to be licensed. That's what guarantees your client's safety." But the flaw with that logic is that while keeping your tools sterile is one way to protect you client, you're also protecting your client by keeping their nails healthy and damage-free, which is what a lot of licensed nail techs are NOT doing because as mentioned over and over again... they didn't learn anything in nail school! I just graduated nail school about a month ago and while I was fortunate to go to a school that I learned more than other people did, there is still a lot of things that I don't know and I'm learning as I go. My school was also on the cheaper end at only $2500 (though most nail students who went to my school only paid $1900 because the school gave most of them, including me, a $600 grant), and I'm sure that also takes into account that in Florida, the state I live in, only requires 240 hours, which is only between 2 and 4 months. How much material can people really learn in that small amount of time? I'm so glad that you guys did this discussion because it's a really complicated concept for people to accept.

I totally agree with Habib & Tracey on this topic. I'm all the way here in Guyana, South America (Not sure if you guys ever visited here before) but the art and profession of nails are usually done by persons who are without license. Those persons are exceptionally talented and gifted and they were actually self-taught individuals so it is really not the service problem of unlicensed VS license giving a bad name but you generally find persons who are gifted and really skilled practicing across the world without a license and they Craft are is way better than some who go to school to study the art.

Thank you for what you do to help the nail industry! I actually began doing my nails at home because "salon licensed nail techs" always have their tools extremely dirty with other clients nail dusts, and they would do the famous "rings of fire" which I had a felling was wrong cause it hurt. Happy to have left salons before getting an infection or fungus on my nails, also my nails look more professionals and have no lifting with the little training I have gotten from you guys than what a "salon licensed tech" does as their always in a hurry.

So I feel like in a few years in order to be a licensed nail tech in ky you will have to take an entire cosmetology program (10 months +) just to do nails! It sucks for those of us who are great unlicensed nail artist bc I’m almost certain I’ll never get a nail tech license due to the “rules” they have 😫

In South Africa when you go to nail tech school the first thing you learn is how to sanitise! Then application of acrylic, filling another very very imported thing AND teach the client it self how to take care of her nails. You can also learn how to do art etc. I know of people that don't go to a Salon for there nails and they get fungi specially on there toes! This was a very interesting conversation! 💞💅🏼😻🇿🇦

@YoungNailsInc I wish there was an online nail tech course for licensure in all 50 states for a reasonable price like they have in Canada. That could be adjusted to each states hour preference. Because most beauty school dont really let you use products you normally would use besides gel due to the smell. Because the odorless acrylics just doesnt work as well or the same. I dont just have 3-4 gs to go fulltime and work full time and not see my kids or husband. And theres only like 4 schools in the entire state that even offer a nail program in my state. They want all the money up front. No financial aid because its under 600 hours. Only 350 hrs. They dont teach you what most clients really want, new fads etc, you learn those from youtube and trade shows and other veteran techs. But mostly practicing on fake hands and other students. You really get more pedicures and manicures than anything in a school setting. I think if Young Nails/ OPI/ CND or other professional nail organizations could dominate if they could somehow figure an online self paced education system thats reasonably priced (with there own student kit) that would work for all 50 states cosmetology licensing boards for ppl to become nail techs and become more knowledgeable about the profession and client safety. Whether its meant to be there only income or a secondary income. I would be first to sign up!!!!

What is diff from a certification and a license? Can u charge to do others just here and there when they want it w just a certification? I’m in Texas btw. And I can’t afford to go to school. But I do mine and have forever and my friends ask all the time for me to do theirs. And I do, but for free. Which I love it so I don’t mind all the time but sometimes, when I have to drive to them and buying products, I wish I cld charge something. Also, does anyone know of the “love offering” or “donation” thing? Can they do that w that umbrella and my not get into any trouble? I haven’t done it but they always ask.

@abbie5998 3 года назад

@@aross1576 late response but a license is what you need to do nails on others legally speaking. Nail certificates aren’t really a legal thing, they mean nothing in the eyes of the state board. I’ve heard about people getting donations for doing nails but I wouldn’t do anyone’s nails that you don’t 1000% trust. The risk for an unlicensed nail tech getting sued or fined is so high and all it takes is 1 phone call. Just don’t work on people that aren’t close to you and you should be fine, the real trouble is when you try to branch out and do random peoples nails.

I'm in Florida and I was licensed here as well. 600 hour course and I've had my license since 1993. I do not know what kind of information some are getting, but the state of Florida **requires** a license to own, operate, or work in a salon to do nails and absolutely requires continued education every two years. That education involves a course on sanitation/diseases and such, and the other course is on the nail business itself. When you've had your license a number of years, you are required to take the sanitation/disease course every two years. I wish every state required a license and every salon--no matter where they are located--required some kind of learning to earn and keep a license.

@DeliasNailStudio 4 года назад

I live in NJ, the hours you need for the nail course is 300. I was only taught to pass state board, & my teacher that taught me is a licensed cosmetologist and has never done nails. License or no license I believe anyone who teaches you should know what they are teaching. ( real life skills) Also NJ has no apprenticeship program and doesn’t require nail techs to take classes for there license.

@youngnailsinc 4 года назад

@Somedayyjay 3 года назад

I’m also in NJ and experienced a similar situation. My school’s administration was a mess; over the course of 6 months-I only took classes 3 days a week 4 hrs a day-I had FOUR different teachers. Only one of which was a nail technician. It was a classic case of promises with no follow through. No proper instruction, our kits were incomplete, and the administration/staff was understaffed & disorganized. Thankfully there’s plenty of video instruction and classes through the internet now. If we didn’t have all these resources I would’ve gone into the industry severely unprepared.

@yonnielove8234 4 года назад

@SantaMonicaGhoul 4 года назад

There isn't such a thing in my country (in Europe) as an official licence. You just finish a tranining in a salon that offers that, they teach you how to sanitize stuff, do nails on real models, you can pay extra if you want to learn nail art and then you get a certificate. This training lasts for about 4-5 days and I would say you are ready to work in a salon after that. But that is not an official "licence" like you guys have it in the US. So technically speaking, in some countries it is impossible to be "a licenced nail tech", which doesn't mean we are not going a good job. Btw this was a great video, as always ❤️

@BreMue 2 года назад

Really wish they based the license on sanitation test vs time worked in a class (since you can't work on others.... but need practice hours?) I want to do as a side hustle to my corporate 9 to 5 but I'm not trying to do full time school to learn about the nail and sanitation when I could just do a sanitation course and pass an exam. I'm pro regulation/certification but idk about license.

@DanteVelasquez 4 года назад

It's the same with hair. You are taught the basics, cleanliness/disinfection, the science and how to pass the state board. But the advanced things that are done everyday are not taught. And the artistry isn't taught at all. so there are many stylists that can't do a basic layers cut, or the more advanced coloring techniques like balayage. and even pros don't know how to use bleach properly because thats a whole thing unto itself. I didn't know Connecticut didn't require licensing for nails though.

Hi love all of your stuff here on RU-vid, but I just feel the need to clarify... I am from Denmark and the fact that we call it a course instead of calling it beauty school doesn't mean that we learn less than you do in the US. The course we take here is also about two months long and the exam can be taken within a year where you can reherse and get better before you get your license. We cannot buy professional products without a license and it even sounds like we learn the same stuff that you do in beauty school in the states. Here we are able to buy additional courses to learn even more about different styles and techniques :)

@sohamohamad2175 3 года назад

You may not need a license in the UK but you sometimes do and it’s heavily stressed to get a government recognised level 3 diploma in nail technology etc cause it’s insurable and makes it easier to work in nail salons or freelance. People in the UK regard certification as a reassurance but that’s if you’re saying your a pro nail tech vs a hobbyist or just for you, friends and family

@SASHAMIRANDAA 4 года назад

I'm kind of glad I sought out a certified beauty school where I obtained my license first because it had me learn the importance of cleaning and sanititation. But all schools have limitations to certain nail techniques unfortunately, I would still accept tips and compensations from only family and friends when practicing. I used that compensation to pay for school supplies. Did I consider myself as a nail tech at that time? Well now I can say having a license can cover you as a tech and it helps with getting jobs. All I can say is practice, practice, practice and don't let nothing stop you. Glad you guys share this topic 👌

What's the difference between going to an actual school or getting an apprenticeship through a salon? Whats the pros and cons? Advantages and disadvantages?

I know schooling is shorter and more expensive but an apprenticeship in a salon is cheaper and longer. Plus if I'm in a salon environment, I can possibly retain clients versus a school.

All they talk about is how much money I can get by doing nails. I'm not in it for the money!! That is why I don't do other people's nails or open up a nail salon. I do my own nails because one I like doing it and two it gives me something creative to do. Now don't get me wrong I appreciate my friends and family member for their support, but I don't want to take what I like to do and turn it into a money making business. It's way too much BS getting licensed, business license, accounting and government taxes.

New South Wales is a state of Australia (the state Sydney is in), and NSW doesn't regulate the industry very well, but nail techs are required to be certified. You need to have done Certificate III Nail Technology to register your business with local council and be legit. There are way too many nail tech who don't get the training and I think it's really, really wrong. Although, I'm doing my certification through the state run vocational education institution, TAFE, and it's an absolute joke. At least that's the way it is at the regional TAFE I go to. Maybe Sydney is different. They cut an entire day a week from our program and I'm being made to do assessments on advanced art that I've never even been shown how to do. The teachers are also just not really interested. I've taught myself how to do the majority of what I already know. I'm really unimpressed with the training and now I know I'm going to need to probably go to an nail educator through a private company, so that I can unlearn all the terrible habits TAFE has taught me.

My ex wouldn’t support me in going to school so I didn’t go and my now hubby would, even though he feels it’s too expensive too, but now I live on an island in alaska where there is no school so I can’t go. I’m a DIYer too and I can’t get enough, partly because I NEED the practice, I’m not very good and I just want to learn by doing the hands on part and I love it. I don’t have anyone to practice on here so I don’t know how to get the practice needed to get better. By the time my hubs retires from this job and we move to where I could go to school I would be in my 60’s and I feel by then we’ll be doing the retirement thing, traveling and doing other things. So I’m really bummed 🙁 Any advice? I know I could buy a practice hand I guess and make my own press on nails and practice that way.

We would recommend contacting your local state board of cosmetology to see what your state's requirements are. Most states do not allow online classes for licensure, but they will be able to guide you further. They may also be able to let you know if there are other schools you can attend.
