Finding a Licensed Nail School in Utah
DOPL runs its own Licensee Lookup and Verification System; search license type Nail Technology School there to confirm a school's status.
Where Online Training Fits
Our course does not count toward Utah's 300-hour requirement; only training on the route DOPL 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 Utah licence.
