Funny holidays - Manicurist Day

“You can be a sensible person and think about the beauty of your nails,” wrote A.S. Pushkin about Eugene Onegin. The poet watched his hands no less closely than the main character of his novel in verse. Pushkin carefully looked after them, putting a thimble on his little finger at night, so as not to inadvertently break the longest nail in his sleep. It served as a secret sign of membership in the Masonic lodge, of which the poet was a member. People have paid attention to the beauty of their hands at all times. In ancient China, women and men from the upper classes grew their nails as a symbol of wealth, thereby showing that they did not need to work physically. It is known that in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs, their servants were buried along with the rulers. The lists of the retinue include people who gave the hands of titled persons a beautiful and well-groomed appearance. The high nobility and Egyptian priests applied henna to their feet and palms and painted their nails red; commoners were only allowed to use pale shades of flowers. In Ancient Greece, specially trained people - cosmetics - took care of hands. They shaped their nails using small scissors and varnished them without painting over the holes associated with the Moon, a symbol of change, magic and mystery. Today, like thousands of years ago, manicurists are approached by men and women who take care of their hands. Beauty salon workers responsible for the beauty of nails have their own professional holiday. Every year in many countries around the world, Manicurist Day is celebrated on March 24th. On this day, colleagues and clients wholeheartedly congratulate specialists who monitor the health and beauty of their nails, decorating them with varnish, rhinestones and designs, giving their hands an aesthetic and well-groomed look. Professionals pay attention to the cuticle and softness of the skin, using creams and masks, massage and paraffin therapy. An experienced master practices an individual approach to each client: he selects the type of manicure, shape and design of nails that corresponds to goals and fashion trends. Since ancient times, people have cared for their hands not only to give them beauty, but also to maintain hygiene and prevent diseases. Pathogenic microbes accumulate under the nails, which is why it is so important to trim them and regularly clean them of dirt. Modern specialists are masters of a wide profile. They help clients solve the problem of brittle, peeling and ingrown nails, and get rid of dry hand skin. The most exquisite manicure pales against the background of a fungal disease of the plates. A professional will always try to help the client personally or recommend contacting a dermatologist. Masters use high-quality tools, devices and materials to give nails and hand skin a beautiful look. Specialists regularly attend training courses to improve their knowledge and skills. All professionals who stood at the origins of the beauty industry are congratulated on March 24 on the Day of the Manicurist.
