program highlights exclusive to Elayne and Co.

We have developed a 5-module curriculum exclusive to our academy that teaches you how to position yourself within the market to attract your ideal client, virtually eliminate your competition, and set yourself up for longterm success.  

Our nail art program is extensive and ensures you feel confident in creating trending art designs including hand painted art, 3-d art, chrome, french tips, ombre’, and much more.

Two highlights of our program are our business and branding class and the business field trip.  For business and branding we take a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of setting up your scheduling app, google page, instagram and more to make sure you are set up from the start for success.

On our business field trip we visit many different business models and see how each of those look in real life and then look at empty spaces to paint the picture of how you can do that in a real life situation.  It’s a fun day that has led to many of our students business futures!
