Your Key to Continuing Education
The Importance of Continuing Education
As a nail tech student, you are embarking on an exciting journey that will shape your career in the beauty industry. While nail tech school provides a solid foundation, it is crucial to recognize that education doesn't stop there. In fact, it is just the beginning.
Continuing education plays a vital role in staying current with industry trends and advancements. It allows you to expand your knowledge beyond the basics taught in school and delve deeper into important topics that directly impact your work as a professional nail technician and your clients.
​
It is unfortunate that many nail tech students may not receive comprehensive education on crucial topics such as nail allergies, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ingredient knowledge in nail products, safety concerns, and related matters. In some cases, if these subjects are not covered at all or the information provided may be superficial or lacking in depth.
This is where the Healthy Nails Collaborative pathways come into play.

They offer comprehensive resources that cover crucial aspects such as safety protocols, in-depth disinfection practices, UV light usage, understanding different nail products, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), addressing medical issues related to nails, and much more.
What sets these pathways apart is their commitment to delivering unbiased information without any hidden agendas, costs or sales pitches. The emphasis lies solely on equipping you with the necessary knowledge to ensure client safety and well-being while maintaining high standards of professionalism.
Upon completion of each pathway within the Healthy Nails Collaborative program, you will receive a certificate – an achievement worth celebrating! Displaying this certificate proudly on your wall not only showcases your dedication to ongoing education but also reassures clients that you have undergone rigorous training in essential areas related to their health and safety.
