Tha Nail Artistry Academy follows the refund guidelines established by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to ensure fairness and transparency. This policy explains how refunds are calculated in the event of cancellation, withdrawal, or termination.

Cancellation Before Classes Begin

If a student cancels the enrollment agreement by midnight of the third day after signing (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays), the student is entitled to a full refund of all money paid, with no fees retained.

After the 3-Day Cancellation Period but Before Class Starts
If a student cancels enrollment after the 3-day cancellation period but before the program start date, Tha Nail Artistry Academy will refund all tuition paid and may retain an enrollment/registration fee not to exceed $100, as allowed by law.

Refunds After Classes Begin

If a student withdraws or is terminated after classes have begun and before completing 50% of the course, the Academy will refund a portion of the outstanding tuition based on the period of enrollment, using scheduled hours in accordance with state law.

If a student withdraws or is terminated after completing 50% or more of the course, no refund of tuition is required.

Refunds are calculated from the official date of withdrawal or termination, as defined in the Withdrawal and Termination Policy.

Calculation of Refunds

Refunds of outstanding tuition will be calculated according to the schedule below:

Withdrawal or termination during the first week of the course or the first 10% of the course (whichever is shorter):

• 90% of outstanding tuition refunded

Withdrawal or termination after the first week/first 10%, but within the first three weeks of the course:

• 80% of outstanding tuition refunded

Withdrawal or termination after the first three weeks but not later than completion of the first 25% of the course:

• 75% of outstanding tuition refunded

Withdrawal or termination after completion of the first 25% but not later than completion of the first 50% of the course:

• 50% of outstanding tuition refunded

Withdrawal or termination after 50% of the course has been completed:

• No refund of tuition is required.

Tha Nail Artistry Academy will use the TDLR Refund Calculation Worksheet to ensure all refunds are calculated accurately based on scheduled hours, amounts paid, and any earned fees.

Non-Refundable and Earned Fees

The following fees and charges are considered non-refundable/earned once the corresponding items or services have been provided:

• Enrollment/Registration Fee:
  Non-refundable up to a maximum of $100 after the 3-day cancellation period, as allowed by law.

• Books, Supplies, Uniforms, and Kits:
  Once issued to the student, these items are non-refundable and will be listed as earned fees on the refund calculation, including but not limited to:

  • eBook/Textbook: $355

  • Uniforms: $50

  • Student Kit: $800

• Withdrawal Processing Fee:
  A $150 withdrawal processing fee will apply to all withdrawals and terminations and will be reflected on the refund calculation form.​

Time Frame for Refunds

All refunds owed under this policy will be processed and issued within 30 days of the date the student becomes eligible for the refund, based on the official date of withdrawal or termination.

In-House Financing and Payment Plans

For students on an in-house financing or payment plan:

• The refund will be calculated based on the total program tuition and the amount already paid by the student, following the refund schedule in this policy.

• Any remaining unpaid balance on the student’s account after withdrawal or termination will still be owed to Tha Nail Artistry Academy and must be paid upon receipt of notice.

Program Closure or Discontinuation

If a program is terminated or discontinued by the school before the student has completed the course, refunds will be calculated according to this same refund schedule, or as otherwise required by law. The Academy may also offer the option to transfer into a comparable program or cohort, where available.
