Delta-Montrose Technical College
Nail Technician
The Barber and Cosmetology Occupations department includes the Barbering, Cosmetology, Esthetician, and Nail Technician programs. Each program meets the state requirements for the Colorado State Board
of Barbers and Cosmetologists examinations leading to state licensing.
The Nail Technician program is a 20 credit, one-semester program offered each summer. It provides
the basic knowledge and skills needed to do manicures and pedicures and work with artificial nails. Students
learn to clean, file, trim, polish, and repair fingernails and toenails. The nail tech learns to mosturize hands and
feet and discuss treatment with clients. Students will learn to apply and maintain artificial nails.
A successful career in barber and cosmetology occupations requires a neat personal appearance,
strong interpersonal skills, and a good image, and attitude. Since many businesses also sell product, effective
salesmanship and business skills are also important. An understanding of fashion, art, and technical design
are also useful skills.
