What Do Nail Technicians Do?
The terms nail technicians and manicurists are used interchangeably in most places, and refer to specialized beauty professionals who focus on nail care. If you attend a nail technician school, usually you learn how to: • Shape and size nails • Lengthen nails, adding nail extensions • Sculpt nails • Add polish or designs In addition, nail technicians are usually trained to teach others how to care for their nails and how to spot nails that aren’t healthy, including those that may have infections. If you are working as a manicurist or pedicurist, you may also be caring for clients’ hands and feet.
