200 Hour Manicuring Program Objectives

Upon completion of the Manicuring course the student will have knowledge of nail wrapping, acrylic nails, sculpturing nail tips, anatomy, nail structure, oil manicures, water manicures, French manicures, nail irregularities, diseases and sanitation. A graduate of this course will be able to take the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology examination to be a Manicuring. A typical day will consist of a combination of theory, practical and clinical experiences. You’ll have a half hour break for lunch then get right back to it. This course gives you a lot of information in a short period of time so be ready to learn.

Students begin as junior manicuring students. They can achieve senior status by testing out of the junior portion after they earn approximately 50 hours. At that point they may begin performing basic services on clients on a rotation basis. Tests are given at the end of each chapter. Students are tested on practical skills as well as theory. Tests are primarily multiple choice to correspond with the State Board of Cosmetology test, but will also include essay and fill in. We use the Milady Standard Nail technology Textbook, Milady Standard Nail Technology Workbook. Theory is taught through a combination of lecture, handouts, videos, workbooks and reading. Practical is taught through demonstration, lecture and hands on practice.
