A Nail Program Built Around Real Client Results

Your training at Turning Point Beauty College will follow a clear path. We start by clearly demonstrating techniques used in real slaons, breaking them down into easy-to-follow steps. You can then practice these new skills as you prepare for opportunities to work on live models and real clients in our student clinic. Our instructors will be at your side as they coach you on shaping, structure, and finish. You can also work on timing and consultation skills so clients come back to you again and again. You can build up a professional-looking portfolio of work that can help you find future opportunities in the beauty industry.

Expect real salon experiences, from consultation to after-care, plus time to photograph your work for a growing portfolio. Training is offered at Phoenix and Chandler, with multilingual instruction available. Arizona requires 600 hours of training before you can sit for the state licensing exam. You can complete the training in as little as five months, but your exact timeline will depend on your schedule, attendance, and effort in the class.

We went on a fieldtrip to three different salons. They each showed us how they operate, and explained what the hiring process would be like. It was a very informative outing, and I look forqard to possibly working with one of those establishments.
