Which of the following is NOT a component of the manicure curriculum?

The option regarding hair styling techniques is not a component of the manicure curriculum because manicures primarily focus on the enhancement and care of nails and hands. The manicure curriculum encompasses essential subjects that directly relate to nail care, including health, sanitation, and infection control, as well as health-related science and advanced nail technology, which provide the necessary knowledge and techniques to work safely and effectively in nail services. In contrast, hair styling techniques pertain to cosmetology disciplines focused on hair care and styling, rather than nail treatments. Therefore, while important in the broader realm of cosmetology, hair styling techniques are not included in the specific study of manicures.
