What is Nail Art (Nail Architecture)?

Nail art (or nail architecture) is an exciting journey beyond a typical manicure or pedicure with nail polish. Nail art allows the wearer to personalize their nails to harmonize with their clothes, makeup, shoes and accessories. Often times, nail art may include use of elements like crystals, stickers, glitter, graphic designs, multicolored polishes, lace or fabrics. Nail art can be applied to any type of nail, either natural or artificial.

Intricate nail art is quite popular in Japan and Korea, but now the nail art trend has spread worldwide. Many famous Hollywood actresses, fashionable singer, musicians and fashion models in the United States are generous these trendsetting nail designs, and many women want to emulate this look. Although nail polish and nail brushes are available for home manicures, doing intricate nail art on your own fingernails can be quite complicated. Many women go to specialized nail salons to get nail art done.

Spa Pedicure Training-Workshop

Refrain from shaving your legs. Be warned against shaving, using hair removal creams, or waxing your legs and feet during the 24 hours before getting a pedicure. Hair removal can cause cuts or subtle abrasions that you don’t even notice on your feet.

You might want to bring your own pedicure tools. Bacteria and fungus can easily move from one client to the next on pedicure utensils that haven’t been properly sterilized. Bringing your own tools will eliminate that risk. Some tools, like nail buffers and emery boards, can’t be sterilized. Even in the most pristine salons, these tools may not be replaced after each customer.

Inside the salon, take a look around. Do the surfaces and water where clients put their feet appear sanitary? If they look dirty, find another place to get a pedicure. Also, check out the bathroom. If the bathrooms are dirty, that’s a clue that the pedicure salon may not have high hygiene standards. Don't hesitate to ask about the salon’s disinfecting procedures. Footbaths should be washed and drained with disinfectant between clients and every night, and pedicure instruments should be soaked in disinfectant between clients. Footbaths and instruments that aren’t properly disinfected could harbor bacteria and fungus that can cause infections to the feet.

Spa Manicure Training-Workshop

There are things that we should never ignore about our appearance. In just focusing our attention to our face we often forget the next most essential aspects of our body’s grooming. The feet and hands are essentially the next most important of our appearance to give an overall impression of neatness and hygiene.

Home based or professional manicure and pedicure should always be a part of anyone’s beauty regimen. Keeping our nails and toes clean also means that we keep them free of bacteria entering our system and bringing other diseases to the body. Nails and fingers are some of the first areas to catch fungus if there be any. Filing and shaping the nails neatly after soaking them in a warm tub of soapy water is very good. If we add some beneficial essential oils to them that is all the better! Tea tree and lavender are some of the favorite essential oils that one can use.

There are several home-based manicure-pedicure kits complete with scrubs, brushes and oils which can be important investment rather than rushing to the parlor every week. But if you don’t want to miss the amazing feeling of the great massage that one gets in parlor then you must go for a professional pedicure and manicure.
