Nine years of experience. A passion for safer nail services.

Hi, I’m Kacie Harris. With nine years in the nail industry, I’ve developed a passion for not only creating beautiful nails, but also for the safety, sanitation, and professionalism behind every service.

I created Columbia Nail Academy to turn real-world salon experience into practical, easy-to-understand continuing education. My goal is to help nail professionals feel knowledgeable, confident, and prepared to provide safe, high-quality services throughout their careers.

The story

Education built for real salon work.

After nine years working in the nail industry, Kacie has seen firsthand how important proper safety and sanitation are to professionals and their clients. As she continues growing as a Nail Instructor, Columbia Nail Academy turns that experience into meaningful education professionals can use behind the table every day.

Each course connects education with real-world salon practices—from sanitation and infection prevention to client safety, ethics, and professional standards.
