Nail Technician

As the health and beauty industries have grown and diversified, the area of nail technology has grown into a field of its own, with a number of spas and salons hiring professionals who specialize in the area of nail technology. With men and women both taking an interest in caring for their hands and feet, the role of the nail technician is no longer relegated to simply applying nail polish. A professional nail technician today is someone who has training in identifying bacteria and fungi that may be present on the hands and feet, nail and skin anatomy as well as the best way to tend to different kinds of nails.

Nail technician courses usually begin by covering the importance of maintaining a professional image and professional conduct towards clients.
