A Career With Marketability

In the state of Florida, a full specialist is someone who is licensed to provide full speciality services. They are educated in a combination of the nail specialty and facial specialty. That means you can provide a variety of esthetic services like facials and waxing as well as nail services. Full sets, manicures, and nail art are just a few of the things full specialists can provide under this license!

You may be wondering, “Why should I learn full speciality vs. pursuing an individual license as an esthetician or nail specialist?” That’s a great question! Pursuing a license as a full specialist allows you to learn two sets of skills instead of just one! You can become a master at both skin care and nails.

Once you’ve mastered both disciplines of the license, you can choose to specialize in either. You’ll become more marketable because you can provide both! Many employers and clients like to have an all-in-one beauty provider, and that could be you with a full specialist license!

The full specialist program at AIB is 600 clock hours. 300 hours are dedicated to teaching you skin care theoretical and practical skills, and the remaining 300 hours are concentrated on the theory and practice of nail care.

You can complete our full specialist program in as little as four months*! You could be on your way to a fulfilling career in less than a year!

*Based on a full-time schedule.

Both our St. Petersburg and Largo campuses offer the full specialist program on a full-time or a part-time day schedule. Our Largo location also offers a part-time evening program for those who have other obligations in life. We understand that school should fit into your current lifestyle, not the other way around!

Your creative future is an investment in yourself. Don’t be afraid to look for outside help to achieve your dreams! Financial aid is available to students who qualify at our Largo and St. Petersburg campuses.
