About the Institute

Cincinnati Institute of Esthetics and Nails is a small, privately owned school and student spa in Montgomery. Since 2018 we have trained licensed professionals in intentionally small groups, where instruction is personal and standards are set by people who have spent careers behind the treatment chair. Every program includes additional certifications, and payment plans are available across the board.
