Benefits

Benefits of Pedicures:

Foot Health: Pedicures promote foot health by removing dead skin cells, trimming nails, and addressing issues like calluses and ingrown toenails.
Improved Circulation: The massage component of pedicures helps improve blood circulation in the feet and legs, reducing swelling and discomfort.
Relaxation: Pedicures provide a relaxing experience, offering stress relief and a sense of well-being.

Benefits of Manicures:

Hand Hygiene: Manicures promote hand hygiene by thoroughly cleaning and moisturizing the hands and nails, reducing the risk of infections.
Nail Health: Trimming and shaping nails during manicures help prevent nail breakage, splitting, and ingrown nails.
Relaxation: Like pedicures, manicures offer a relaxing experience through hand massages, relieving tension and stress.

Preparation for Pedicures:

Foot Soak: Before your appointment, ensure your feet are clean and free of nail polish. Consider soaking your feet in warm, soapy water at home to soften the skin and nails.
Foot Care: Trim your toenails to a manageable length and gently file any rough edges. Avoid cutting nails too short to prevent ingrown toenails.
Skin Care: Exfoliate your feet to remove dead skin cells and calluses, focusing on areas like heels and balls of the feet.

Preparation for Manicures:

Nail Care: Remove any existing nail polish and trim your nails to the desired length and shape using a nail clipper and file.
Hand Care: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove dirt and oil. Gently push back cuticles using a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick.
Skin Care: Exfoliate your hands using a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother skin.

Aftercare for Pedicures:

Avoid Shoes That Rub: Opt for comfortable, open-toed shoes or sandals to prevent friction against freshly painted toenails.
Moisturize: Apply a rich, hydrating foot cream to keep your feet soft and supple. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as heels and soles.
Protect Toenails: Be cautious when engaging in activities that may damage your toenail polish, such as excessive moisture or pressure. Consider wearing protective socks or shoes if needed.

Aftercare for Manicures:

Protect Your Hands: Wear gloves when performing household chores or tasks that may expose your hands to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Apply Hand Cream: Keep your hands moisturized by applying hand cream regularly, especially after washing your hands.
Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using products that may strip away your nail polish, such as acetone-based nail polish removers.
Be Gentle: Handle objects with care to prevent chipping or damaging your nail polish
