Read MoreThis course was well-taught. I was able to see and understand exactly how to do everything. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to do nail art in an easy to understand, step-by-step manner that will succeed in giving you the confidence to try it out and practice until you get it just right.

Read MoreHad such fun during this course. First of all, the system is amazing to work with! Very structured and clear on what video you're on or still have to do. The information, tips and tricks, and video's are super clear and very easy to follow. Also all products/websites are linked so you don't have to look for any of the products yourself. I know a lot of people who are not willing to share this type of information with you so this was amazing! If you are a beginner and are looking for a GOOD nail art course I would definitely recommend this one!

Read LessNo, 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.
All Certification Programs include support, homework, and feedback from your instructor, Keesha! The only other course that does include some homework and feedback is the Advanced Gel Shaping course. If you want feedback/support in other courses, please book a session with Keesha by emailing [email protected] and requesting this.
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.
A digital Certificate of Completion is awarded after the successful completion of any Halo courses! This is different from the certificates awarded to students who complete the necessary requirements of their Certification Programs. These students will have a physical certificate mailed to them for all of their hard work completing their program!
