Step 1 - Preparing The Foot
4m 7s
Preparation
Place booth feet in a foot spa containing warm soapy water or a foot soak. And leave soaking for 5 minuets.
Remove one foot and pat dry with a clean soft towel.
Apply a cuticle remover to the cuticles and the surrounding nail wall and gently rub in.
Ask the client to place foot back into the warm soak and repeat on the other foot.
After 5 minutes of soaking place one foot out the spa and start to gently push back the cuticle using your cuticle pusher tool.
Wet the blade of your cuticle knife and hold at a 45 degree angle to the nail plate. Lift any excess cuticle off the nail bed by stroking gently towards the cuticle in one direction.
Hold the cuticle nippers comfortably in the palm of your hand and slowly snip away the excess cuticles.
Repeat all steps on the other foot.
Toenails should be cut straight across to the desired length using nail clippers.
Toenails should then be filed to the client’s preferred shape (usually straight or softly rounded). Use a nail file and sweep gently across the nail in one direction.
