네일 산업이 발전함에 따라 트렌드를 주도하는 네일 시술을 통한 자연 네일 손상에 대한 우려 및 네일제품에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 보다 현실적으로 도출된 네일 손상을 감소시키는 네일 융복합보강제에 대한 연구를 하고자 한다. 특히 네일 미용인들의 네일 보강제에 대한 사용실태와 인식도를 파악하고자 하며 이를 통해 보다 건강하고 아름다운 네일 미용을 만드는데 일조하고자 한다. 본 연구의 내용은 먼저 네일 미용과 네일 손상 및 네일 보강제에 대한 개념과 선행연구 경향을 살펴보고, KSDC 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였으며 그 결과를 KSDC 고급 통계 프로그램을 사용하여 통계 처리하였다. 보강제에 대한 주요 인식에 대한 문항에서 보강제의 특징, 효과, 사용방법, 시술순서는 대체로 잘 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났고 성분 인식의 경우는 보통으로 나타났다. 네일미용은 최근 들어서는 건강관리 차원의 실용성이 중시되고 있다. 자연네일의 건강한 유지를 위하여 본 연구가 네일보강제 연구의 기초자료가 되기를 희망하며 보다 구체적인 네일 보강제 성분에 대한 연구를 앞으로의 연구 과제로 남기고자 한다.

Consumers' desire for beauty has become a driving force in the beauty service industry which was further developed through specialization and segmentation. Nail-care service, which is one of the beauty services, is showing rapid growth, and intense competition among salons has become apparent. Thus, service management method and marketing strategy are required for customer satisfaction. Therefore, in this study, we tried to classify the nail-care services on the basis of systematization and realization of its characteristics which are fundamental when developing management and marketing strategies. The subjects of this study were women in their 20s and above living in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon areas. As a result, the nail-care service factors are classified as "external environment" (interior, celebrity, newness), "internal environment" (equipment and products, cleanliness, and environment), "location" (location and transportation convenience), "reputation" (good reputation), "technician skill," "kindness," "relationship" (relationship, empathy, and affinity), and "price and discount." The consumer types of nail-care services were classified into three groups according to the degree of involvement of these concept systems. These results can be used as marketing basics and will be the basis for studying marketing strategies. However, the consideration of setting up a marketing strategy for each consumer type will be presented in a follow-up study.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate occupational symptoms and chemical exposures of nail salon technicians. Methods: Work-related symptoms of nail salon technicians in Daegu City were surveyed using a researcher-administered questionnaire, and responses were compared to those of non-exposed office workers as controls. Personal exposure level of airborne volatile organic compounds was also monitored using passive samplers. Results: A total of 159 subjects in 120 salons were interviewed. Average work-shift concentrations of 13 chemicals were measured for 50 workers from 30 salons using personal passive samplers. The most frequently reported respiratory or neurologic symptoms by nail shop technicians compared to controls were nose irritation (odds ratio [OR], 54.0; confidence interval [CI], 21.6 to 134.8), followed by headache (OR, 9.3; CI, 4.7 to 18), and throat irritation (OR, 4.3; CI, 2.2 to 8.5). For eyes and skin, 92% of respondents complained eye irritation (OR, 13.1; CI, 5.7 to 30.1). In musculoskeletal symptoms, workers reported pain or discomfort in shoulders (OR, 20.3; CI, 7.7 to 54) and neck (OR, 19.7; CI, 8.9 to 43.6). From personal measurements, the proportion of exceeding the Korean Occupational Exposure Limit was the highest for acetone with 64%, followed by toluene (50%), butyl acetate (46%), and methyl methacrylate (12%). However, the service was being provided without a proper ventilation system in most surveyed shops. Conclusions: Based on these findings, it is warranted to have appropriate local exhaust ventilation place to ensure adequate health protection of nail shop technicians as well as customers. At the same time, greater policy interests are warranted in nail care business to protect health of both workers and customers.
