For compensation, what may nail technicians provide?

Nail technicians are specifically trained and licensed to provide various nail services, which primarily focus on the care and beautification of nails. Among the options presented, pedicures stand out as a service that nail technicians are qualified to perform.

A pedicure involves not just the application of nail polish but also the care of the skin and nails of the feet, making it an integral part of a nail technician’s scope of practice. The skills acquired during training include not just nail polishing but also exfoliation, massage, and maintenance of foot health, which are all encompassed within a typical pedicure service.

While manicures also fall under the training of nail technicians, it seems that the question specifically seeks a single type of compensation service, and pedicures are often highlighted in the context of comprehensive nail care. Facials and hair cutting activities are outside the expertise of nail technicians, as those services typically require different licensure and training in esthetics and cosmetology, respectively. Therefore, pedicures are aligned with the role and scope of practice of nail technicians, confirming that they are appropriately compensated for providing this service.
