ABOUT THE ACADEMY
Where Passion Meets Education
The Academy of Nail Careers is a beauty school located in Sanford, Florida, dedicated to helping students build strong foundations in the beauty industry.
Founded by Erica Figueroa, a professional nail technician, salon owner, and educator with over a decade of experience, the academy was created with a clear vision. Erica recognized that many people entering the industry lacked confidence in their skills and needed a structured learning environment that truly prepared them for real clients and real careers.
Her goal was to create a program that focuses on hands-on training, professional standards, and business knowledge, so students graduate ready to succeed.
