Fill the foot bath with warm water. Add bubble bath to the mix. Don't forget to put towels and equipment in place. Ask your client to sit down, and gently place both feet into the warm, bubbly bath. If your client is wearing old nail polish, clean toenails with nail polish remover, before placing them into a bath. After placing both feet into foot bath, take one foot out, and begin to scrub foot with a foot file. This will exfoliate dead cells from the soles of the foot. After about 5 minutes, place foot back into the bath, and take out the other foot, and begin to file sole of the foot. Keep checking after every few swipes whether more dry skin needs to be removed. Once this is done, put in the bath, and take out the first foot. If there are callouses on the sole of the foot, scrape away with credo. Then, use exfoliant cream on the sole of the foot. Place back into the foot bath. Take out the second foot, and repeat some of the last three steps. Then take out first foot for final time. Gently dry foot with a towel, and rub cuticle remover on cuticles of all five toes. While cream is soaking cuticles, cut toenails with nail clippers. After all five toenails are cut, shape nails with the nail file. Upon completing this, take metal or orange stick and clean out nail bed of excess dirt that is trapped underneath nails. Once nails are cleaned, take Hindoo stone, and clean off excess cuticle from nails, and push back cuticles. Then take cuticle nippers, and nip away the broken skin from nails. When all these steps are completed, take nail brush and clean nails thoroughly. Remember that the water in the foot bath isn't too hot; otherwise, it'll burn your clients foot.
Next take out other foot and repeat the relevant steps above.
Now we are going to massage our client's legs and feet. First, we take our massage cream or oil, and we pour a generous amount all over our client's client's leg. Then we begin to rub it all in, by running your hand up along the leg, and all the way down again. Repeat this step 3 times. After the first 3 times, we begin to do circular motions up along the leg. Press deeply into the leg muscle, as you are doing this. Go up as far as the knee, and then run your hand gently down the leg again. Again do this for about 3 times. Complete the-the third step by coming all the way out to the toes, starting with the tiny toe first. Take your index finger & middle finger, and firmly run them through each toe. Move along to the sole of the foot, and make your hand into a fist, and rub it against the sole of the foot. After this step, go to the ankle and rub your client's ankle, soothingly. Repeat this with your client's other foot.
Clean off massage oil with nail polish remover in the cotton pad.
Dust powder onto soles of client's feet.
Buff nails.
Now we polish the nails. First, we separate nails with either nail separators or use tissue paper. This is so that we do not get polish onto the toes. Next, we begin polishing the nails with a base coat. Once all 10 nails are completed, we polish the nails with the color client has chosen. We do all 10 nails TWICE. Finally, put top coat nails.
Once this is done, gently place client's feet to open-toed slippers, and wait 10 minutes for nails to dry.
Upon completion of a pedicure, the client should be very happy with your service for her or him.
