Etymology
The term 'manicurist' is derived from the Latin word 'manu' meaning 'hand' and 'cura' meaning 'care'. The practice of manicure can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, who adorned their nails with colored pigments. Over time, the profession evolved, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the modern manicure began to take shape, particularly in Europe and the United States. The rise of beauty salons and the popularity of nail care led to the formalization of the role of the manicurist. Today, manicurists are trained in various techniques to provide services that enhance the appearance and health of nails.
