I recently completed the 15-week training at Prestige Nail School, and I'm thrilled to say it exceeded every expectation. After researching multiple schools, including Euphoria, Academy of Hair Design, and CILV, I found Prestige to be the one with its commitment to student success and professional development. First, Prestige's Shadowing Program was a gamechanger. Unlike other schools, Prestige offers real life salon shadowing, allowing students to observe and work alongside seasoned technicians. This unique experience gave me a firsthand look at what it's like to operate in a professional environment, something other schools simply couldn't offer at the same level.   One of the highlights was Prestige's Real Salon Experience component. Their clinic side of the school is built like a real salon, where students practice their skills with authentic tools and full-service experiences. This real-world practice was invaluable in building my confidence and client interaction skills, including the often overlooked art of upselling-a vital skill if you want to make money in this industry. The environment truly stands out. Prestige has three dedicated ventilation systems that maintain a fresh and safe atmosphere, free from the strong odors found in other schools I visited. Compared to other schools that merely recycle air, Prestige's system made the classroom and salon experiences much safer. The learning environment at Prestige is second to none, the layout provided an open, comfortable workspace, making learning more enjoyable and effective. The focus on quality facilities reflects Prestige's commitment to delivering top tier education. Lastly, I was impressed by the school's skill-focused training. Unlike other schools that concentrate primarily on passing the state board, Prestige goes above and beyond by equipping students with the skills necessary for real world success. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient and dedicated to preparing us for the actual demands of the nail industry, not just exams. If you're exploring nail schools as I was, Prestige Nail School is a no brainer. They have everything you need and more, creating an experience that's as fulfilling as it is professional. read more

I will need to edit my review when I go back, because my phone accidentally ate my photos from this magical little place, I only have a few. I am not a cosmetic services type person-i can count on 1 hand about how many manicures I've ever had, haven't had my hair professionally altered besides cut many times, and don't do much that involves aestheticians etc. I decided to do something unusual and nice for myself before a big festival I was working, and got a gel manicure with glittery silver polish. I feel terrible because I forget who did my nails, but know Devyn did my manicure newbie partners. I hadn't had gels before, and she explained the whole process to me. I got an upgrade service to make them last longer and was glad I did. We were there for about an hour, the environment was simply and clean, they had vending machines, comfy chairs for us to sit in, and we were seated with our students promptly. The lady next to me got hot pink tips and they looked great. For a first time gel experience and my partners first manicure ever, they made the whole experience wonderful and everyone was kind and professional. Also getting gels for the 2 weeks they lasted helped me not pick at my nails, and when the polish came off my nails had grown out the most they have in years. I will definitely be back read more

I had my nails done yesterday by one of their students, Isabelle. it's such an amazing job, she was so meticulous, gentle and careful with my cuticles, which I really appreciated. I am an artist and I use a lot of acetone and rubbing alcohol, causing my cuticles to dry out and then on top of it I have a habit of picking at them without even realizing when I do it, so they're not the prettiest and definitely posed a challenge for her but she did great!! She asked me what my dream nails would be, and I told her I always wanted pointy but short claws with chrome- I have asked for short pointy claws, many times at other salons, and I have always had to go home and make them a little bit shorter and a little bit pointier but not this time! Isabelle made them the perfect length and so pointy I could do some serious damage with these things. :-) I am in LOVE with my nails. Her teachers were super awesome and came around to check her work and give some pointers which she barely needed! I am impressed with how great my nails look. This was Isabelle's first full set of acrylic nails, and they are better than any nails I've ever had. I highly recommend this place if you want to learn they clearly do a great job teaching their students, or if you just want to pamper yourself. read more

As a student at prestige, I can confidently say that the experience I have had here was the best. All the instructors were welcoming , knowledgeable & extremely helpful with students. Prestige is a very organized school , tsu did an amazing job showcasing it. Franco was also an amazing instructor as well! Thanks to his demos I received a 100% on my practical. Kiaras talent as a instructor is remarkable, she is able to educate students not only about nails but life skills we need. One of my favorite staff at prestige was the front desk receptionist ,Yari. Yari not only makes the environment comfortable for students, she does an amazing job guiding clients through the salon area & preparing potential students to get ready for their tour. Again, I have nothing negative to say about prestige. If I could stay & work here I would :) read more

I cannot express enough my gratitude to Prestige nail school. I have 3 small children and decided to go back to school to learn this amazing trade. Prestige made it fully possible and worked around my busy schedule with the kiddos. For anybody who says they can't go back to school, it is fully possible. The teachers are incredible and I have learned so much. I was taught the correct and incorrect ways of working in a salon, which will help me tremendously in becoming a great nail technician. I visited numerous schools before choosing Prestige and they truly are the best. There are so many nice, welcoming people here and made many new friends. The school participates in contests, guest speakers, and field trips. If you are deciding on a nail program, look no more because this is the best school. read more

I had a fantastic experience, a Prestige nail School. The staff was fantastic. The students were great. I had so much fun with the techs while they were doing my nails. The techs are truly talented and I highly suggest going there to get your nails done or your toenails done. It's wonderful. It was a much needed boost for me. It cost me about $40 to get tips and toes done. I can't complain. And I definitely will be back. Take notes that you need to book an appointment in advance because they do get busy and make sure you let them know the services that you want before you show up. Trust me you will not be disappointed. You will be so happy you saved money and have nails that look like 1 million bucks. Highly recommend. read more

Walking into a clean and welcoming atmosphere was what I was hoping for. That is exactly what I got. The girl at the front desk checked me in with grace as I waited for my appointment, which by the way is all they take. Isabella was my student technician for both my pedicure and manicure. Professionalism and cleanliness was more than what I received from her. The range of colors and products is top notch. I did not know what to expect but going to this school and having a student get credit plus experience is the best way to go! Thanks for being great already before even stepping out into the nail world. read more

This school is great! I would recommend it to anyone looking to become a nail technician. At this school they teach so many different things, which can open up so many future opportunities for students. The instructors are all so kind and always happy to help, they make it such a fun and happy environment. We are able to take clients at the school and it is so helpful because you are able to learn hands on and get real experience before going into the workplace. If you are looking for a school specifically for nails, i would HIGHLY recommend you look into this school! read more

It was my first time here & I went to kylee to get a gel manicure and she was amazing! You can tell that she cares about making the customer comfortable & she cares about her work. She was so gentle and took her time to make sure I was happy with my nails. The vibe was so friendly & way better than any salon I've ever been to. All of the other students came over to make conversation & give compliments as well, which I thought was very sweet! I will definitely be returning read more

I came in as a client for the first time getting a pedicure with Cindy. As soon as I came in she greeted me and had already everything set up. She took her time doing my pedi and you can tell she was very detailed in her work. She made sure to inform me she spend a little more time on pedis which I appreciate the transparency respecting my time. Overall, it was a great experience and the instructor comes check after, Cindy did a great job! read more

This place is wonderful. First time here today. I had a basic pedicure with Cuong. Cuong did a phenomenal job. He was very professional and paid very close attention to what he was doing. I'm very happy with my pedicure and would even say that it rivals some that I've had at triple the cost of not more at regular salons. I will continue to visit in the future. Plan on a mommy and me date with my daughter for manicures next week. read more

Coming to Prestige Nail School, isn't what I was expecting. I was expecting more on the books than hands on, but it was the complete opposite! The teachers were very helpful and knowledgeable! Every training they provided was hands on, easy to follow, and they were always there to help give advice and tips rather than criticism. This is a great school to earn your nail technician licensing and training. read more

I went in for a male pedicure, with Maribel. last time I had one was 15 years ago, at Al Udeid Air Force Base in Qatar, so my feet were kinda rough. Time flew by and my feet felt great. It was a surprising experience. Great attention to detail and overall a pleasant experience. I highly recommend the school, since they take all customers, but by appointment only. Thanks! read more
