This makes an excellent textbook for the practicing manicurist and pedicurist. It is a very useful and detailed guide with plenty of information. It has information on the anatomy of the hand, nails and feet, information on tools, equipment, health and hygiene, products, nail problems and disorders, setting up a business, professional conduct, manicure and pedicure procedure (what to avoid), and how to do nail extensions. This is a book that one must have and it can certainly be described as a manicurist's 'bible'.
However there are not many pictures to guide through the procedures which can make things a bit awkward and difficult especially if you are still a learner.
