Program Mission
Vanida's Institute of Esthetics was established to help students become skilled nail and skin care professionals by teaching them theory and practical applications as well as the ability to present a positive attitude toward their new profession, themselves and others.  The goal of the school is to maintain the integrity of the nail and skin care professions.  To achieve this goal, our curriculum has been developed to promote solid basic skills as well as practical application skills.  The text books, videos, and exams will offer each student a quality learning experience.
