Read MoreKeesha is amazing. She is patient, understanding and very responsive. Not only does she take the time to grade the assignments properly, she also provides detailed feedback. Using the constructive criticism provided by her, you can definitely work on your craft a lot better. The course is easy to follow with detailed videos with voiceovers. Keesha also never makes you feel bad for emailing and asking a lot of questions. I appreciate her guidance and her sharing her knowledge with me. This course is well worth every penny you spend. The ugly duckling product that comes in the kit is also top notch. Especially since it's a local product, just makes it all that much better!

No, Halo Nail Academy courses ONLY use gel nail products.
Your first payment will come out immediately and grant you immediate access to your course. The next payments will come out on the same day of the month as your initial transaction, for as the number of months you chose for you payment plan. If you miss a payment, your course will be locked until the payment is successful. Once the payment goes through, you will regain access to your course.
Discount codes only apply to our art and shaping courses, and not valid on the In-Person or Online Certification Programs. They also cannot be used on payment plans.
Halo is a private nail academy in Canada. We are not an accredited school. Completion of our certification programs will award you with a Certificate, not a license. If you require a license to work in your region but still want to learn from Halo, all of our courses are available for you to take in addition to your required training to help you maximize your skills and understanding of gel nail services.
A certification is a professional recognition of achievement, meaning you have completed theoretical and practical training in the industry, giving you confidence having learned from someone with experience and expertise. Most beauty suppliers also require proof of certification before they allow you to shop with them, which means your certificate will grant you wholesale pricing and access to professional use only products.
Most of our courses never expire. The only ones that do expire are the Certification Programs, including the Soak Off Gel Manicurist Certification Program, Online Gel Extension Certification Program, and the In-Person Gel Extension Certification Program. These programs expire one year after enrolment.
We encourage all potential students to ask lots of questions before making the investment to purchase education. Unfortunately, all courses are non-refundable.
Simple answer, no! You can absolutely use your phone for all training, but having a computer or something with a larger screen (ie: iPad, tablet, laptop) will really help you to be able to watch all the videos on a larger scale so you can study all of the details.
There is no financial aid, however, there are payment plan options available to make the tuition more affordable by breaking it up into monthly instalments.
