Summary: Manicures started about 5000 years ago in India using henna as decoration; a form of mud that brings out the pigment in your skin's surface to make designs on hands. It is a treatment of the nails, hands or both that usually involves the shaping and painting of the nails as well as attention to cuticles and hangnails. It is a very soothing procedure that both men and women enjoy because there are several treatment options available. Sometimes the manicurist will attach acrylic nails to the existing nail so that it can grow without worry of being broken and also to lengthen the look of the existing nail until it is able to grow out. This became highly popular in the 20th century and today is a multi-million dollar industry.
