Safety Information:Don't shave beforehand going to the salon and make sure you have no open wounds, cuts or abrasions. Obviously, if you have any skin infections, you should not go to a salon lest you infect others. Ask the operator about their standards for sanitation. Make sure the salon is clean. Watch them to see if they clean their tools and chairs after use. Never stick you foot in used water. Water should always be fresh and bowls disinfected. Check out your salon to make sure they are licensed and have a good reputation. It is recommended that when you visit a professional dermatologist, beautician or a salon take your own tools with you for hygienic reasons.
Indications:Men/Women who are always having their cuticles done often get changes in their nails or deformities. If they have no trouble, that's fine. If they start having a deformed nail or notice ridges we recommend to leave their cuticles alone. Similarly, if they have psoriasis of the nail, we also ask them not to touch their cuticles. You can get infections from having cuticles cut. This happens when viruses, bacteria or fungus come into contact with the skin around your nail. It is recommended that when you visit a professional dermatologist or a beautician take your own tools with you for hygienic reasons.
Directions:A basic tenet of personal grooming is toenail care. Taking care of your toenails requires regular trimming to keep the nails at their healthiest. If you have long, hard toenails, this seemingly simple task can be difficult and even painful. You must first soften the nails to allow for easier trimming. With proper toenail-cutting techniques, you can keep even the toughest nails in check. Fill the foot bath with about 6 inches of warm water. Add several drops of baby oil. The water and oil will work to soften and moisturize the nails in preparation for cutting. Soak your feet in the bath for 15 minutes. Remove your feet from the bath and blot dry with a paper towel. Place a dry paper towel flat on your work surface. You may choose to use the floor or a bench if you have trouble bending. The paper towel will be used to collect the nail clippings. Slide the clipper blades around the nail of your big toe. Do not push the blades too deep. Just slide the blade under your nail without pressing or pushing on your skin. Engage the clipper by pressing down on the handle. You may need to use both hands if your nails are especially thick. Once you hear a "snap," the cut has been made and you can release the handle. Slide the open clipper further along the nail and press the handle again to cut the next section. Avoid trying to cut the entire nail in a single motion. Aim to cut in short pieces. Cut straight across the nail without curving or rounding the tip. Cutting your nails in a curved shape can cause painful ingrown toenails. Use a nail file to make sure the edges of the nail are smooth. Your nails should be slightly triangle or oval and not pointed. This will prevent them from breaking. When filing, file gently in one long stroke, from the side to the center of the nail. Massage lotion into your toes and nails to keep the area soft and supple.
