Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of nail and hair treatment on stress and self-esteem of female.
Methods: Treatment-control study design was adopted to compare the effects of hair and nail treatment on

Total 190 subjects were used for analysis: 62 females from 4 nail shops, 66 females from 4 hair shops and 62 females from general population in Seoul and Kyounggi area from September 8th to 27th 2011. Self-esteem and stress of the subjects were measured using questionnaires with Cronbach’s α =.843 and Cronbach’s α=.914 and all the data were analysed at .05 significant level.
Results: The self-esteem was not improved after nail and hair treatment and there were no differences between groups. But the stress was significantly decreased after nail treatment(t=-7.706, p<.05) and hair treatment(t=-5.795, p<.05). The decrement of stress score after hair and nail treatment were significant between groups(F=17.639, p<.05) and the decrement were highest in nail group.
