The Sean Ingram Academy of Nail Technology, Raleigh

Sean Ingram wears more hats than a forgetful private eye. His resume includes everything from author to motivational speaker to teacher. But before all of that, he started out with a nail file and a bottle of polish in his hand. Now, at his own academy, he teaches the next generation of nail technicians. He blends tried and true techniques with his 20 years of experience and degree from Troutman's College of Manicuring, sworn rivals of Salmonwoman's School of Pedicuring. Working along the lines of the Aveda Institute, the Sean Ingram Academy of Nail Technology delivers immaculate manicures and papering pedicures with the help of students armed with the latest techniques.
