4 Important Benefits of Manicure and Pedicure

1. ONGOING NAIL HEALTH

A manicure or pedicure provides a deep clean for your nails, as well as ensuring that they look great. This is an important part of positive nail health, as both our hands and feet go through a lot on a daily basis. Regular manicures and pedicures ensure the removal of dead skill cells, which is an essential part of encouraging new skin cell growth. New skin cells are key for nails that are strong and healthy. Regular manicures and pedicures also help to make sure that your nails don’t get into a poor condition, for example being plagued by fungal infections. If you’re keen to protect your nail health on an ongoing basis, manicures and pedicures have an important role to play.

2. A CIRCULATION BOOST

The process of having a manicure or pedicure usually involves a massage, either to the hands or feet (or both). Massage is a fast and effective way to boost circulation, which can be especially slow and sluggish during the winter months. Poor circulation can result in cold or numbness in hands or feet, as well as swelling or joint pain. The effect of the massage is to increase blood flow around the body to improve joint mobility and help to reduce swelling and pain.

3. ENSURING GOOD CONDITION

Our hands and feet can be exposed to some fairly harsh environments and experiences. Whether it’s walking long distances in uncomfortable shoes or withstanding extreme weather conditions, such as snow and ice, it’s easy to forget that these parts of our bodies need some care and attention too. Regularly scheduling manicures and pedicures will ensure that nails are in good condition and the skin on hands and feet is well cared for and soft. This can help to avoid a number of issues, from cracked hands through to painful calluses on feet.

4. THE DE-STRESS ELEMENT

Manicures and pedicures are incredibly relaxing. Aside from the blissful effects of the massage, this is also a great way to set aside time that is just for you. Whether you need time to think, want to read or just sit with a coffee while your nails are done, the experience provides plenty of opportunity to take a few minutes out from a busy life, sit back and relax. Plus, the impact of taking care of your nails, both in terms of aesthetics and contentment, can make you feel good long after you finish the appointment.

These are just some of the benefits of having regular manicures and pedicures – there is a lot more to the experience than just a great finish.

· Manicure tools must be placed at the right side of the table according to use.

· Manicure cosmetic supplies must be placed at the left side of the table

· A plastic container must be taped at the right side of the table near the nail technician.

This is where you put the used cotton.

A. Manicuring

1. Remove old nail polish. In removing old nail polish, moisten small piece of cotton with nail polish remover and press over old polish on each nail. Then moisten another cotton with nail polish remover to remove the small piece of cotton on the nails.

2. File nails. Discuss with patron the nail shape best suited for her. File the nails from the little finger towards the thumb, in the following manner:

a. Hold the patron’s finger between the thumb and first two fingers of your left hand.

b. Hold the file in the right hand and tilt it slightly so that filing is confined mainly to the underside of the free edge

c. Shape nails into graceful oval tips, never extreme points. Use the coarse side of file or emery board to shape the nail. File each nail from corner to center going from right to left and then from left to right. On each side of the nails use two short quick strokes and one long sweeping stroke.

Safety Precautions

1. Filing nail in one direction helps prevent nail splitting and weakening of nail walls.

2. Filing deep into corner may hurt the skin and cause ingrown nail growth.

3. If skin is injured, immediately apply an antiseptic or alum solution.

4. Soften cuticle. After completing the left hand, file the nails of the right hand. Then immerse left hand into finger bowl. (soap bath) to permit softening of the cuticle. Finish filing nails of right hand then remove left hand from finger bowl.

5. Dry fingertip by holding a towel with both hands. Carefully dry the left hand including the area between the fingers. Gently loosen and push back the cuticle adhering the skin on each nail of both hands. Also rub off any dirt deposit present on the nail.

6. Loosen the cuticle gently using the spoon end of the cuticle pusher. Keep cuticle moist while working. Hold the cuticle pusher in a flat position to remove dead cuticle adhering to the nail without scratching the nail plate. Push cuticle back with towel over index finger.

7. Clean under free edge. Use cotton tipped orangewood stick dip in soapy water and clean under free edge from the center toward each side with gentle pressure

8. Trim the cuticle hang nails or uneven cuticle carefully and push again if necessary

9. Repeat steps 2-9 for the right hand.

10. Apply hand lotion or cream around the sides and base of the nail and massage the hand.

Pedicure

Pedicure tools and Equipment Needed: The same with tools and equipment needed for manicure but we will need foot towels instead of the hand towel and we are going to need toenails separator.

Follow the procedure in manicuring.

1. File or shape the toenails straight across (never rounded to conform to the shape of the toes)

2. Cut the cuticle only a little. Do not remove the cuticle entirely.

LET US REMEMBER

· Before carrying out a plain manicure or a pedicure service, it is necessary to assess the condition of the client’s skin, nails and cuticles.

· It is important to select and prepare the appropriate implements, supplies, cosmetics and equipment to be used.

· When using the cuticle pusher, avoid too much pressure so that the live tissue at the root of the nail will not be injured. In case of accidental cut, apply antiseptic immediately.

· The simple manicure and pedicure service would be carried out easily if the procedure is followed carefully.

Nail Cleaning Procedure (Summary)

1. Sanitize the client’s hands using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

2. Soak the client hand in a warm water in the finger bowl (not more than 3 minutes)

3. Cut the nails on the other hand according to the client requested nail shape.

Use a small nail clipper. Start cutting from the pinky. (pinky, ring, middle, index, thumb)

4. File the free edge- Use one direction only. (Start from the pinky)

5. Buff nail and free edge- This will help polish and shine the nails.

6. Apply cuticle remover using a small dropper. Push the cuticle to expose more nail. ( Use one direction only from the tip down to the cuticle)

7. Nip the excess cuticle- Start from the left going to the center, then from the right going to the

center.
