About

ONYX Nail Institute LLC was developed in mid 2023 and operates from a suite on East Expressway 83 in Donna. It is a training school first, and its listing reflects that: the nail services on offer are performed by manicuring students under the supervision of a licensed instructor.

The school says it aims to provide a good quality education and a well-rounded one. Enrollment is meant to cover the essentials, including a student kit, textbooks and learning materials, a uniform set, and paperwork fees, and the school states there are no hidden fees.

The salon is open Thursday and Friday, with evening hours on those days, and on scheduled Saturday afternoons. Clients should know that the school does not accept anyone with a contagious disease, for health and safety reasons. A portion of salon proceeds goes toward scholarships for future students.

Class sessions run Tuesday through Friday in morning and evening blocks, and tuition, schedule and course questions are handled by phone on weekdays during office hours. Products can be seen in person at the school.

The school's stated focus is education, with students practicing on real clients under instructor supervision.
