Become a certified nail tech in Wisconsin

To become a certified nail technician in Wisconsin, you must first complete a state-approved nail technician program. These programs can be found at vocational schools, community colleges, and private beauty schools. The program must consist of at least 300 hours of training, which includes both classroom instruction and hands-on practice.

Once you have completed the program, you must pass the Wisconsin State Board of Cosmetology Nail Technician Exam. This exam consists of both a written and practical portion, and you must pass both sections to become certified. The written portion covers topics such as sanitation, safety, and nail anatomy, while the practical portion requires you to demonstrate your skills in performing various nail services.

After passing the exam, you must apply for your nail technician license through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. You will need to provide proof of your completion of the state-approved program and passing the exam, as well as pay the required fees.

It is important to note that continuing education is required to maintain your nail technician license in Wisconsin. You must complete at least four hours of continuing education every two years to stay current on industry trends and maintain your skills.
