The nails being done themselves can be automated, but most, if not all, women getting their nails done only go to the girls they enjoy talking to.

You can't fake human interaction and platonic relationships, I think.

I agree with Andrea S, the individuality of people, the shape etc. of their hands I find this hard to see how this can have such a high score for automation. Only time will tell I guess

Am a nail technician, what I do creating custom extensions are individual to the clients nails, also somewhat finicky to do, I doubt a robot could do it accurately though who knows, robots are getting better and better.
