We are always expanding, but our current certification programs are :

 

Gel Nail Technician Certification - FastTrack Certification

The FastTrack certification program is our most popular option. It consists of 4 intensive 7+ hour days in class with one at home practice day in the middle. It's laid out Monday, Tuesday in class, Wednesday at home, and Thursday, Friday back in class again. This program is jam packed with information and hands-on training, and is perfect for those who want to get a jump start on their new career in this industry instead of learning over a 3-6 week period!

 

This program is best suited for those who are passionate about this industry and are not afraid of some serious hard work and dedication!  We spend 7+ hrs each day mastering every aspect of nail shapes, art, business, branding, photography, even how to price your services! To top it off, Mia will help you with creating a logo that reflects your personal style so your business will look professional right from the start!

​

Gel Nail Technician Certification - Weekend Certification

This gel certification option is similar to the FastTrack but designed for those who are unable to take time off during the week and need weekends.  This course runs over the course of 2 full weekends (sat/sun) back to back until all 4 classes are complete. There is also the option to do bi-weekly classes spaces out every 2 weeks instead. Classes for the weekend option are 7hrs each day.  

Coffee, tea, drinks and snacks are always provided

 

Far above and beyond learning about nails, salon safety and client communication, we also cover in depth branding, marketing, business development. During your time practicing in class Mia gets to know each of your personal styles and create a logo for your business if you don't have one already in mind. 

 

The weekend certification costs slightly more at an additional $400 compared to the FastTrack option, this is due to it taking up weekends which are highly sought after. However it also comes with the benefit of the space between each class allows for students to practice at home and feel fully prepared for their next classes! As everyone learns at a different rate, we want to have all options available.

Student Kit

Our in person certification courses include an enormous student career kit, one you won't find anywhere else! It was designed to set you up for success in your business, and means you won't have to go and purchase a bunch of products on your own outside of class to get going like larger institutions require.

Cost

The total cost of your FastTrack certification program is $3499+ gst if paid in full.

​

If signing up for the Weekend certification program, the total cost is $3899+ gst if paid in full.

​

Our highest level of investment is through 1:1 certification, the total cost for this $4499+ gst if paid in full.

SPECIAL OFFER, all courses are being offered via 1:1 format until September 1st, 2025 for $1000 less, the cost of our FastTrack!

 

This price includes your tuition, and your student career kit which has a value of $1800, but has been heavily discounted for this program.  As an added bonus you now get a full year of access to our Student Assistance, an online resource featuring the same videos and content that we offer our online certification students which was previously sold separately for over $2000. Last but not least, it includes ongoing support and mentoring from your educator until the completion of your 4 week practicum.

​

To get started we require a non-refundable deposit of $1000 to reserve your spot. This goes towards the purchase of your student kit, and ensures your spot is secure in the class of your choice. The first student to pay the deposit for a class gets to choose the date, so if you have a certain start date in mind, and you don't see it scheduled, please don't hesitate by sending us a message using our contact form.

​

Payment Plans

We have a variety of different payment plan options available if required. We understand not everyone can front the cost of starting a new career, and we want this path to be accessible to everyone! Our payment dates are flexible, you can choose between weekly, or bi-weekly payments split anywhere between 4 to 12 weeks depending on what's comfortable for you.

 

All of our payment plans are subject to a monthly 8% interest fee applied to the total remaining balance owing on the last day of each month. You'll be able to choose what is right for you when signing up in the student contract. Balances must be paid by the final date agreed upon in the Student Contract, or they will incur an additional 25% monthly interest fee on the remaining total for the duration until the remainder is paid in full.  (This is only in extreme circumstances where payments aren't being made, I'm super easy to work with and avoid this at all costs lol)

​

Certification

We now offer the exciting option of a virtual practical exam, meaning you to schedule this in the comfort of your own space and on your own timing. This means you'll gain your certification 4 weeks after classes end, which is 5X sooner than the previous structure, and gets you accepting clients and starting your business even sooner! Once you've complete your 4 days of in-class training you will take an online written exam, and then your practical exam will be booked within 4 weeks according to your schedule and availability. 

​

Your certification will be awarded after completion of both the online exam and virtual practical exam where a passing grade of 80% is achieved. This certificate will allow you to shop at professional beauty suppliers both in your local area, and online!

​

It's important to note that receiving your certification is not guaranteed. Completion of all assigned homework, and final exams in the time frame mentioned above is required.  Should you need extra time outside of this, additional in-class training may be required at an additional cost.  Practice and dedication are the most important parts of becoming a high quality nail technician, and your success is our utmost goal, so we expect the same high level of dedication from our students as well!

​

​

​

Our certification courses cover much more than the fundamentals of nails, we teach you everything you will need to know to launch a successful and rewarding career in this industry! Unlike most conventional courses that have large class sizes and little to no 1 on 1 time, you won't leave our program without your questions answered, as its our mission to ensure you always feel supported as you grow and flourish in this industry. 

 

In contrast to the larger and more basic nail courses, this program covers ALL nail shapes. You will also learn advanced techniques such as form sculpting, pinching, e-file manicuring & of course instagram worthy nail art! You will even learn how to price your services, and how to brand and market yourself through a special business course created by Celestial's founder Mia Michele. We want you to be successful, and we aim to give you all the skills you'll need as a beginner nail artist to lead you into a profit in this industry.

 

There really is no better time to become your own boss!
