First, Mr.Dan not only has an amazing school but is a phenomenal educator! He is so detailed oriented, thorough, and honest. As an experienced nail tech in need of my license in NC, this program was perfect. It taught me things I never knew after doing nails for many years. Even having beginner classmates was amazing because he met us ALL where we were at and made sure we were prepared right after school! His preparations for the state board test were so spot on I went into the test so confidently and passed with very high scores! This school is perfect for everyone interested in this career field! I highly recommend this school! From the way things are taught, the COST and the amount of knowledge you gain… this place set me up for success! I’ve not be able to advance my skills but be more knowledgeable as a professional! Thank you Mr.Dan for all of your advice and help! 😊

I absolutely LOVED my time studying at Avalon. Mr.Dan and Ms.Davis were outstanding instructors. When I went in for a tour of the school I knew it was the one for me, the energy was right. On top of that- supporting a family owned school was so incredible to me. Now I am a year into my career and loving it everyday. If I could I would go back to school here again ❤️ Thank you Avalon.

I'm glad I decided to come to Avalon. This is my very first time attending a nail school, so I don't know if it's better than any others, but I can say it is definitely great. Mr Dan is very informative and patient. He doesn't beat around the bush, so you'll get the criticism you need to grow and improve. But he can be very encouraging when you're being too hard on yourself. It's a pretty good balance for an instructor. It keeps you motivated and not afraid to fail and thrive. I like how hands-on this whole course is. We go right into the important stuff and waste no time at all. I drove almost 4 hours each day for this class. I just appreciate how short, yet informative this program is. I felt like I was learning the basics of what's needed for this profession. I really like the nail challenge contest as it lets me take a step back from nail correctness and just relax and express my creativity. To anyone looking for a great nail school, this is the one. You don't need to divide your money and time into different semesters and spend most of the time talking about nail theory and history. Of course you wont turn into an expert over night (even the very experienced nail techs/artists out there are still learning), but you'll learn the basics needed to start your nail career and to pass your state exams. My advice to anyone attending this school is to relax and trust that you're in good hand. I made the mistake of not working on clients for a while because i felt like i suck at polishing. Dont waste your time like me. Come with a humble heart and an open mind, you'll learn a lot and you'll do great. I just got my license. Waiting for the official copy to arrive in the mail. Thank you once again Mr Dan, Ms Davis and my fellow classmates especially my fellow full time classmates. You all have made this an awesome experience. I appreciate you so much and I hope you all continue to do great. HalleluYah, Praise Yah!!

Editor's Description
The Avalon Cosmetic Art Institute started as a small, family-run salon in 1993 and grew to over 30 salons in the Charlotte area before owners founded the educational program.
Nail technology is the focus of this school. They offer full-time programs that you can complete in four to six weeks or a part-time program that takes about eight to nine weeks with morning or afternoon class options. There’s even a custom class schedule based entirely on student choice. With 25 hours of study per week, you can complete the customized program in five to nine weeks.
On Google, Amy Lu calls Avalon the “best school ever! Very knowledgeable and talented instructors and will not hesitate to help you in any way they can. Best decision to come to this school!”
