Thank you for this video! Do you have a pdf with the steps written out? My school didn’t provide us with anything like this. And are there any updates since this video my test will be next month!
@@RussellFerro www.tdlr.texas.gov/barbering-and-cosmetology/individuals/examinations/#bulletin Within this page click or look for the chapter Candidate Information Bulletin With drop down menu, Then select "Cosmetology Manicurist - English" If anything updates will be on page 14 - 16 on that PDF make sure to book mark the page too
More questions lol, can I use a Q-tip for applying cuticle remover, and another to clean up under nail? And, do we have to trash each item after we use them or can we wait till end of the service to trash the items?
Yes but pack 3 Q tips (incase you drop one) Yes trash each item and best to hand sanitize BUT don't throw the hand sanitizer away and always close the cap and put it on the table.
Bless teachers like Miss K shes the best! I just took the video and answer Qs on here 😂 Congratz dear! Hmu on insta if you need product help/suggestions - - no Gatekeeping over here haha
This is an amazing resource. Thank you so so much for posting. There are some schools who do not have this kind of guidance and This will help so much.

@@sophiegonzalez2772 do the steps exactly as you see on the video. I promise you will pass. Don’t be nervous even if you mess up on a step just continue like you know what you’re doing. “ You Know What You Know”. Good luck on your test. You got this !!
Thank you so much for your video. How do you prep the hand with Nails/hand for state board? I’m going next week and I’m having a hard time gluing tips. Can I put acrylics on there for prep? 😊
I wish I had her as my teacher my teacher didn’t teach so when I see stuff like this those students are very lucky and thank you for being an amazing teacher 🩵🩵💅🏼
Very true,I’m in cosmo school right now,and same the school director is the teacher,and some students,don’t get taught properly and the education unfortunately is lacking. Thank God for RU-vid. If the school wasn’t so affordable with no interest I would’ve been left.
what school is this? I want to learn how to be a nail tech in tx . is there a school where I can only do this? Most schools I looked at are cosmetologist and dont really show how to do nails. Mostly hair and makeup
Milan Institute - Ingram location in San Antonio, Texas They have quite a few campuses in Texas. Sometimes Nail Technician courses are Listed as " Manicurist " they are 6months - 600 hours minimum per TDLR requirements. While Cosmo is longer however they will only train you with nails for a week which would be making a acrylic nail. Milan, Ogle, Vogue, and even Paul Mitchelle school have Manicurst Programs in Texas. Which ever school you choose 600 hour / 6months really doesn't prepare you for working the field. Out of my graduating class only a hand full of them are tech 2 years later even including myself.
Best advice I can give is.... Practice painting with regular polish to help your hand muscles devlope the proper pressure. Practice french tips in regular and gel polish. Practice Laying acyrlic 3 bead method and then 1 bead (turn and burn salons will force this methodology on you) Practice on as many people as you can! Wear gloves and wear masks whenever possible. I have contact dermatitis from acetone and acrylic from doing removals bare handed. Best gloves are nitrile gloves from sams club. School really only teach what will be on the tests but everything I've actually learned has been in the field. And don't let people discourage you. It can be rewarding and others frustrating especially with clients that don't care about your mental health. But fill your schedule and eventually weed those clients out as well as bosses too!
I’m looking into signing up and this video helps me feel better about the process and I’m new to Texas and saw I can take the course right here in Round Rock which is super close to me
@@raylynncruz8093 I dont remember because I donated it. But big enough for everything and make sure it has latches! They will ding you for not closing your kit so latches will remind you to do so. I bought mine from Walmart.
Nail art is not really something they teach is in school to be honest. I learned in the field and Watching videos from "Nails by Dev" (Instagram/RU-vid) & "Notpolish Nail" on youtube. Other than that nail techs do workshops range of $200 to $800 but don't know of any in Dallas area 😵💫
Everytime AND also if you touch your face or sneeze. They watch people like hawks. Basically after every part of the test sanitize your hands think of it is like a closing procedure
Just checked the TDLR and PSI handbook on their website this is still accurate it was updated August 2023 but they haven't released PSI for 2024 on their website. For up to date break down google " TDLR Barber and cosmetology exam information" Then click Candidate Information Bulletin from their select cosmetology manicurist it will give you the latest psi handbook for the test
Hi, thank you for the video. I appreciate it. Every time you eliminate a nail tip size and throw it in the garbage do you have to sanitize your hands between nail tips sizes! 😊
@@Sukeban-nailz I actually started school January 2021 and graduated school in July of 2021 with 600 hours and have never actually went to try to take it. I paid for the stateboard test in December 2021 and called psi to schedule a test in January 2023 but they told me my payment had expired 🙄 and my school only credits the hours for up to 2 years so I’m kinda on the ringer for taking this test! I called my school a while ago to ask for more assistance/ guidance to which they are honestly oblivious themselves I realize I chose a poor institution to study because resources were and still are to a minimum but also the schooling was super cheap🫤 We didn’t even have a instructor everyday at my school to actually teach the nail program🤦🏽♀️ and not to mention when he did come in he was late and would sit at his desk til lunch in silence. Only time he would talk to us was if he needed one of us to do the school’s customers. The classroom had no kind of structure at all and wasn’t very much of a learning environment. So honestly now I’m just watching everything I can on RU-vid and learning from others! If you have any more study suggestions please lmk 😩🙏🏾
