nail tech

Manicure service provider

A nail tech is a person who does manicures and pedicures professionally—shaping, polishing, and decorating fingernails and toenails.

Short for nail technician.

The term reflects the specialized training and licensing required in most places: My nail tech is booked solid through the holidays.
