This qualification provides comprehensive training in classic manicure and pedicure treatments, with strong emphasis on both nail aesthetics and the therapeutic care of hands and feet. Students gain detailed knowledge of nail anatomy, nail diseases and disorders, nail and hand treatments and their effects, nail shaping techniques, cuticle work, polish application, and professional hygiene standards. The course also includes professional hand and foot care, including the safe removal of hard skin and treatment of dry, neglected skin – areas that are often not covered in depth within gel or acrylic nail technology courses. As this qualification focuses specifically on the health, condition, and care of the natural nail and surrounding skin, it is ideal for beginners, and also for qualified
nail technicians who wish to expand their services by offering professional manicure and pedicure treatments with enhanced skin care. Manicure and pedicure services remain high-retention treatments within salons, making this an essential and highly complementary qualification for therapists seeking consistent client bookings and enhanced service offerings.
