Nail Shop "Treasure of the Town Shop" is a man

This is the most eye-catching family in the north of Chengdu.

Showing the beauty of thousands of worlds in a square inch of land, an understatement draws a moving picture on the ten fingers. The person who can control this picture is a manicurist. Ever since I was a kid, I used secret flowers to learn to dye nails, and now I have a small nail shop. Anna, 23, did not expect that when she grew up, her childhood hobby really became the most interesting job to do. Small nails can make a lot of money last year. Anna said, don't look at more than 300 types of nail materials, but the prices are relatively low. Therefore, an ordinary nail shop usually requires only three to five thousand yuan of investment. In some stores, as long as a table is set up, a skilled manicurist can make a profit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. However, in 2012, the nail salons in Xiamen accounted for about 50% of profits, remained flat about 40%, and losses accounted for about 10%. Anna revealed that nail art sounds very dangling, but in fact it is not high in technical content. Most of the manicurists in regular nail shops are licensed to work, divided into three categories: junior, intermediate and advanced. Of course, some people learn by such a junior way that the master brings apprentices, just learn a little from the master and start business. Manicure has become the third largest for women after beauty and hairdressing

The primer is dried for 10 seconds and the color adhesive is dried for 20 seconds. The sealing layer is dried for 30 seconds and removed in 10 minutes.

According to the provisions and requirements of the National Professional Qualification Standards for Nail Artists, the training content mainly includes: professional ethics, laws and regulations, basic knowledge, nail health knowledge, manicurist's code of conduct, manicure skills, management and other training content. The content of the course focuses on the teaching of basic theories and highlights the operability and practicality of skills. It is understood that the training time for a manicurist is about one month, and the training costs are 650 yuan for elementary, 950 yuan for intermediate, and 1500 yuan for advanced.

The latest research by American scientists has found that regular exposure to nail products can easily harm women's health. A professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, USA, published an article in the latest issue of the journal Neurology, saying that manicurists are worse than others at attention, memory, and language learning. A study from the University of Toronto also found that pregnant women who are frequently exposed to nail products also have worse children's cognitive, language, and behavioral performance than normal children. A non-profit organization called "Environmental Protection Working Group" said that manicurists have been damaged by chemicals by 1200 times as much as ordinary people. To this end, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided $ 100,000 in funding to a community in Springfield, Mass., To establish a well-ventilated demonstration manicure store. A person in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency said, Manicurists have long hours of work, they may take their children to the workplace, and they have less knowledge about the use of chemicals. These factors will cause the manicurist to be harmed by chemicals. Meanwhile, The health of those women who often do nail art is also threatened. Choosing a well-ventilated nail shop and using less products containing chemical substances such as formaldehyde can avoid harm to a certain extent.

The general method is actually unscientific. From a medical point of view, the surface of the nail has a layer like a glaze on the surface of the tooth, which can protect it from corrosion. If the surface of the nail is filed off, the fingernail will lose its protective layer and lose resistance to the corrosion of acidic or alkaline substances.

On September 22, 2015, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced the "Notice on Stopping the Qualification Examination and Certification Activities of Manicurist", and decided to immediately stop the activity of appraisal and qualification of nail art division vocational qualification examination and stop issuing professional qualification certificates. ^[1]

The "Notice" requires that the appraisal of vocational qualification examinations for nail technicians and the issuance of vocational qualification certificates be stopped immediately.
