A nail technician may work as a manicurist or a pedicurist, though most nail technicians work with both finger and toe nails. In both cases, your job is to help your clients achieve more attractive and healthy nails. This may include shaping the nails by clipping and filing, but may also include polishing and shaping the nails. A nail technician may also add certain agents to fingernails in order to make them stronger so they do not break or tear, or they may make repairs to nails that have already been damaged. In addition, a nail technician may apply artificial fingernails in order to help the client achieve a more attractive look.
