Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 3C-1. Definitions.

"Nail technician" means any person who for
compensation manicures, pedicures, or decorates nails, applies artificial applications

by hand or with mechanical or electrical
apparatus or appliances, or in any way beautifies the nails or the skin of the
hands or feet including massaging the hands, arms, elbows, feet, lower legs,
and
knees of another
person for other than the treatment of medical disorders.

However, nail technicians are prohibited from using techniques, products, and practices intended to affect the living layers of the skin.  The
term nail technician includes rendering advice on what is cosmetically
appealing, but no person licensed under this Act shall render advice on what is
appropriate medical treatment for diseases of the nails or skin.

"Nail technician teacher" means an individual licensed by
the Department to provide instruction in the theory and practice of nail
technology to students in an approved nail technology school.
