History of National Mani-Pedi Day
Manicure and pedicure have been integral parts of the lives of most women, not only in the West but all around the world. It’s hard to find a female that has not visited a salon to put the final touches on her fingernails and toenails. This habit has become so rampant that different styles and designs are constantly getting created to match people’s preferences.
Manicures are thought to have begun about 5,000 years ago in India. Indian women were reported to apply henna to their nails, giving them distinct color. From India, the art crept into China, where the first nail polish was probably made in 3000 B.C. As far back as 3,500 years ago in ancient Egypt, men of affluence took great care of their feet and also applied distinct colors to their nails to mark themselves from their slaves. Reports have shown that Cleopatra, the queen who ruled the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt between 51 and 30 B.C., also engaged in a form of manicure.
In recent times, and mainly in the 20th century, manicures were especially popular in Europe. The French loved the practice so much that in 1975, they perfected and invented a special type of manicure known as the French manicure. Today, millions of people go to spas and salons to stretch their toes, file their feet, cut their nails, and apply nice polish to them.
The celebration and the holiday have gained so much attention that salons and spas now offer special offers and discounts for manicures and pedicures. Additionally, manicurists and pedicurists witness a higher demand for their services on this day. It’s always a win-win situation for all those engaged in the day’s celebration.
