What is considered a "nail service" under Minnesota law?

Under Minnesota law, a "nail service" encompasses any service that involves the care, decoration, or enhancement of nails. This includes a wide range of services beyond just traditional manicures and pedicures, such as nail art, nail repairs, and the application of nail enhancements like acrylics and gels. The broad definition allows for a variety of salon services that contribute to nail health and aesthetics, reflecting the comprehensive nature of nail care within the state’s regulations.

This inclusive approach is important in the field of cosmetology, as it ensures that practitioners are properly trained and licensed for all aspects of nail services they provide. It also helps protect consumers by ensuring that all types of nail enhancement procedures meet the state's safety and hygiene standards. By understanding this definition, professionals can better navigate their responsibilities and the various services they offer in their practice.
