I already have a podiatrist, why should I use Belle?

Who are the technicians and how are they trained?
All Belle Technicians are certified nail technicians. They are licensed by the state government and go through a rigorous background check.
Belle Technicians have received an advanced certification through Nailcare Academy. The advanced certification has two primary purposes:
- It trains the technician in particular techniques that are specific for people who need special care and attention
- It helps the technician identify issues or conditions that may need medical attention. The advanced certification is an online course with an exam at the end of the program.
Once our technicians have received their Nailcare Academy certification, they are trained and tested by our clinical team, including podiatrists, nurse practitioners, and clinical social workers.
