Meet Your Instructor

Erin Jensen

Licensed Nail Technician Instructor & Salon Owner

I've been a licensed professional since 2017, and in 2021 I made the switch to focus on nails full time, because I absolutely fell in love with the craft. I'm a state-licensed nail technician instructor, and I built this apprenticeship program to follow Utah's state guidelines for nail technician licensure from start to finish. When I first started out, I was frustrated by how unprepared I felt after school. I worked hard to close the gaps - taking extra classes, practicing constantly, and learning everything I could to truly master my skills.

That experience inspired me to create an apprenticeship program that makes the journey easier for others. My goal is to give aspiring nail techs the education, confidence, and real world experience I wish I'd had, so they can start their careers strong and build a business they're proud of.

Today, as a salon owner, I love mentoring my team, helping them grow their skills, their confidence, and their income. This program is my way of helping the next generation of nail artists do the same.
