Nail Care

Are family members and friends always come to you to do their nails? Perhaps it's a career path worth pursuing. Professionals in a nail technician career are licensed to provide manicures, pedicures, coloring, and extensions. With all the advances in artificial nail care products and the chemistry of nails, nail technicians can now make incredibly natural-looking nails, or just the opposite -- incredibly unique and artistic creations.

If you're aspiring to a nail technician career, be sure to enroll in a program that's accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences. Then, you can take written and practical exams to earn your nail technician license. And, career prospects are good: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nail technicians held about 60,000 jobs in 2004. Plus, nail technician employment is projected to increase 19 percent through 2018.

Polish up your skills, and you could soon be in a beauty career doing what you love.
