What is the specific scope of a holder of a Manicurist license?

A manicurist license specifically certifies an individual to provide manicuring services, which primarily include nail care, such as trimming, shaping, polishing, and treating the hands and feet. This focused scope of practice is critical for ensuring that licensed manicurists possess the specialized knowledge and skills required to perform these specific services safely and effectively, adhering to health and safety regulations in the cosmetology field.

The emphasis on manicuring services aligns with the training and education that manicurists undergo, which does not cover broader salon services, hair coloring, or skin care treatments. By limiting the scope of practice, the regulation helps maintain high standards of service quality and safety for clients while ensuring that each practitioner has the necessary expertise in their specific area of focus.
