I had mininal training concerning the massage of lower arms and legs. I am by no means "trained" in massage of those areas. What I do doesn't compare to what a massage therapist does. My pedicure clients love their massage as I do it, but they don't come to me for my massage techniques. Their main concern is callous smoothing and exfoliation. Next in importance is cuticle care and polish. Anyone who wants/needs a quality massage goes to a massage therapist. If cuticle care and polish is the main concern, they schedule an express pedicure.

Or to all nail techs/stylist question. Do you consider nail techs massaging the lower legs, foot, arms (to elbows) and hands part of massage therapist interpretation of your (degree, certification,license) or do you think that nail techs should be able to massage certain parts of the body? The same EXACT question for stylists concerning Scalp Massage? part of your (degree,certification, license)? Do you think that because you received training in massage at a "accredited school for massage" and nail techs/stylists aren't specifically trained in these areas that stylist/nailtechs should not massage? There is a situation that could happen in the future that some may try to remove the word "massage" in language concerning nail techs and stylists. diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
