The Increased Popularity Of Manicures Over the last five thousand years, manicures and pedicures have risen in popularity, creating various styles and designs. The number of specialties that a student at nail school must take, and general nail curriculum requirements, is continuing to grow as well. A manicure has changed to incorporate massages, treatments and modern applications of designs from the simple shaping of fingernails and putting on a little nail polish. A nail student must learn the following non-exclusive list of topics in order to stay current. The Acrylic Liquid And Powder Brush For Nails Acrylic liquid and powder are mixed together to create acrylic nails. Cutting them to size, shaping, proper application, correct removal, and better preservation are common topics to be covered in nail school. There are numerous advantages and disadvantages that a manicurist need to know about acrylic nails. Some clients will enjoy having stronger nails that are easy to paint, while other clients won't be so keen on them looking “fake." A client's choice to get or not to get acrylic nails can be guided by the manicurist. When the manicurist is a student, they'll learn the ways to correctly take off the acrylic nails so they don't trigger any skin issues. The Nail Tips Nail tips have become a form of art in some manicurist circles. You can attach the acrylic tips to the natural nail, and they will then be painted in several designs and patterns. A combination of liquid and powder resin will form a paste to make the acrylic nail tips, which are then smoothed, dried and hardened to look like natural nails. A manicurist will further file and buff this new dry nail, and then apply polish with either a brush or airbrush. They will often use airbrushing to apply the design or to get a French tip. Nail Wraps and Repairs Using nail wraps and other methods, the manicurist is going to be taught how to repair broken nails. Nail wraps to protect fragile nails and to repair splitting areas are going to be particularly useful for those with delicate nails. Nail Art Some manicures include mini paintings, complicated designs, small decals, or imitation jewels. Nails have grown to be a tiny canvas for art designs and some manicurists might want to specialize in this area. Water & Oil Manicures It is common to get a hot water manicure. You'll nourish hands and nails using moisturizing oils when you get a hot oil manicure. This can be perfect for people who have dry, brittle hands and nails. Pedicures Victory Career College

Much like manicures, pedicures work to improve the appearance of the nails on the feet. While pedicures include cosmetic treatment, they can also help prevent nail disorders and diseases. Typically, a pedicure will offer the same services as a manicure, plus using a pumice stone to rub off the bottoms of the feet. Lower leg care is another common service for things like depilation, granular exfoliation and a quick lower leg massage. Ever since 2000, all across the United States, the pedicure in particular has increased in popularity. Increasingly, clients will be expecting specialized pedicures such as spa, paraffin, stone, French, mini, athletic, and flavored. For nail care students, it's important to know these different pedicure techniques, as well as the different solutions and chemicals used to cleanse and soak feet. The Sanitation Good sanitation is the place where all good nail care and nail art should begin. Poor sanitation at the nail salons, like using unsterilized instruments or reusing foot bath water, has created and spread bacteria or fungus infections before. A nail school will begin with excellent sanitation methods and practices as a foundational course for all future nail care work.
