The ancients regarded long, polished, and colored fingernails as a mark of distinction between aristocrats and common laborers. Manicuring, once considered a luxury for the few, is now a service used by many. In fact, many well-groomed women and men regularly use the services of a professional manicurist or nail technician. The word manicure (Man-i-kyoor) is derived from the Latin manus (hand) and cura (care), which means the care of the hands and nails. The purpose of a manicure is to improve the appearance of the hands and nails. Also, a hand massage is included with each manicure. It keeps the hands flexible, well-groomed, and smooth.
Pedicuring is the care of the feet, toes, and toenails. It has become an important service because of the shoe styles that expose various parts of the heel and toes. Neglected toenails and rough, harsh heels detract from the finest of footwear. Foot care not only improves personal appearance, it also adds to the comfort of the feet.
