Meet the founder of STAR NT
Lori Halloway is a true luminary in the field of nail technology with over 32 years of experience. Her vision is to elevate the industry and provide a lifeline to Nail Technicians and clients is embedded in her Meticulous Manicurist Online Nail Academy. The only visionary is the field, so far, with the courage to defend the right of clients to get complete care when they’ve been turned away from salons and Podiatrists. A pioneer in developing skills and techniques to safely help clients and maintain the scope of practice set by state cosmetology boards. The developer of cutting edge education that helped international organizations like Habia, in the UK, mold their National Occupational Standards for advanced foot and nail care. A leader in networking with reputable and ethical educators and nail education companies like Janet McCormick Nailcare Academy, CJ Murray Centre for Beauty, Becky Bunnel Nailed Studio & Academy, Amy Masters The Nail Source and others, who all have their specialties.
You might have been told you aren’t allowed to work on toenails that don’t look perfect, but that is only because the school doesn’t teach the necessary skills to do so. State Boards of Cosmetology encourage continuing education with private industry companies but don’t regulate them. Becoming a Specialty Toenail and Restoration Nail Technician fills the gap and is a much needed niche market all while staying in your scope of practice.
So many incredible Nail Technicians think they have to work in a podiatry office to offer complete client care. Some Podiatrists try to hire nail technicians to bring in cash services to their business due to the low reimbursement of insurance companies. You don’t have to work in a podiatry office, you can even become your own business!
I have the solutions, and I teach you what you need to help people from the most basic regular pedicure to the most advanced cases, SAFELY and LEGALLY! I know you have big goals and I’m here to help you achieve those goals!
The work that we do together is not just about growth,
is about helping your community near and far
by providing the real life services clients need
and upgrading the beauty industry

How is the Global Meticulous Manicurist Course different from any other nail technician courses?
My step-by-step program is the most complete nail technician course on the internet today. The modules in this program contain wisdom from real-life lessons and real situations. The video demos are cases of my real customers in my thriving salon. I am a nail expert not just because I learned from books while I was in the nail school, but because I have done 30,000 real-life pedicures and counting.
I AM AN ASPIRING NAIL TECH WITH ZERO EDUCATION FROM ANY NAIL ACADEMY (BOTH ONLINE OR OFFLINE), WILL I LEARN EVEN THE MOST BASIC OF PEDICURES?
Absolutely! You will learn a regular pedicure procedure and the training builds on that foundation to accommodate any client you meet.
I already have years of experience as a nail technician. How will I benefit from this program?
This program will teach you all the skills and techniques you need to give specialized pedicures and expand your current pedicure menu to increase your yearly income. You will gain the expertise and confidence you need to grow a loyal returning client base.
What happens after I buy the course?
You will receive an email with your username, password, and instructions on how to login and begin your course.

Short answer, no. Our students leave the highest praise and we have never had an unhappy student. They willingly share their success stories.

The course has over-delivered on student expectations will give you the education to skyrocket your business. The content is proprietary and the quality & performance will guarantee satisfaction.
