Finding a Licensed Nail School in Nebraska
Nebraska DHHS runs a Facility/Service Search tool for licensed programs; use it directly rather than a third-party list, since program status changes.
Where Online Training Fits
Our course does not count toward Nebraska's 300-hour requirement; only training on the route DHHS sets, described above, does. From home, you can start on gel, acrylic and Russian-manicure technique now, with Darya Shevchenko's feedback on photos of your practice work. It ends in a Sublime Professional diploma, not a Nebraska licence.
