What are nail technicians not permitted to provide?

  1. Healing services

  2. Nail art

  3. Overlay applications

  4. Effleurage massages

The correct answer is: Healing services

Nail technicians are not allowed to provide healing services because they are not trained or qualified to diagnose or treat medical conditions. This includes any services that may impact the skin or nail health, such as cutting or piercing the skin, or using chemicals that may cause skin irritation. Option B, nail art, is incorrect because nail technicians are trained and allowed to provide artistic designs and decorations on nails. Option C, overlay applications, is incorrect because nail technicians are trained and allowed to provide overlay services, which involve applying a new layer of artificial nail material over the natural nail for added strength or length. Option D, effleurage massages, is incorrect because nail technicians are trained and allowed to provide basic hand and finger massages as part of their services, but more extensive massage techniques are not within their scope of practice.
