At 100 hours of instruction, what type of services may a student render?

At 100 hours of instruction in a Tennessee cosmetology program, students are typically prepared to render manicuring services. This includes basic nail care, such as trimming, shaping, and polishing nails, as well as nail enhancements like applying artificial nails or performing nail art. The foundational skills taught within the first 100 hours focus on safety, sanitation, and the essential techniques specifically related to nail care.

While other options, such as hair coloring or facial treatments, require more extensive training and practical experience, manicuring falls within the scope of what students can competently perform after completing this initial level of instruction. Barbering services often involve additional training and are often governed by different licensing requirements, further emphasizing the limited scope of services that can be rendered at this stage of education.
