1.2 Use Tools and Equipment According to task Requirement

Nail Care, before it is considered as a luxury for the few or only wealthy people can
afford to pamper themselves, but now it is within the reach of the general public. In fact, part
of a person’s grooming and a form of inexpensive relaxation is a regular nail care activity –
be it a manicure, pedicure, hand spa, or foot spa.
The following shows the proper way of holding and handling some nail care tools or
implements and equipment.
MANICURE AND PEDICURE

Nail File
Hold the file firmly in the right or left hand (as the
case may be), with the thumb underneath it for
support and the other four fingers on its upper
surface. Place the file slightly under the free edge and
file the nail from corner to center, shaping the nail.
Never file back and forth; this would cause the nails to
crack and split. Do not file deep into the corners; this
weakens the nails, hurt the skin and cause ingrown
nails.
Emery Board
It is held in the same manner as the nail file. Bevel the
rough surface of the nail using the fine side to
smoothen it. Emery boards are discarded after use on
one person.
Orangewood Stick
It is held in the same manner as in writing with a
pencil. To loosen cuticle, work around nail; for
applying oil or solvent, slightly dip the cotton-tipped
orangewood stick and work around the base of the
nail; to clean under the free edge of the nail, from the
center toward each side, with gentle pressure so that
live tissue at the root of the nail will not be injured.
Cuticle Nail Pusher
It is held in the same manner as in writing with a
pencil. The dull spade side is used to push back and
loosen the cuticles. Keep cuticle moist using cuticle
remover while working. Use the cuticle pusher in a flat
position to remove dead cuticle adhering to the nail
without scratching the nail plate. In using the pusher,
avoid too much pressure to prevent injury on tissues.
Cuticle Nipper
Pick up the cuticle nipper by the handles and turn the cutting
edges towards you; place the bent tip of the index finger
over the top of the shank. Place the thumb on the side of the
handle and the remaining fingers over the opposite handle.

17
Use it with utmost care to remove dead cuticle and
hangnails so as not to injure live tissue.
Nail Cutter
Hold clippers with cutting edges downward between thumb,
index and middle finger. Press clipper handles by squeezing
them together and remove excess nail length.

Nail Brush
Insert the ring finger and pinky in the nail brush handle and
brush the nails with a downward motion from the base to the
fingertips to clean the nails and fingers.

Nail Buffer
Place the thumb and the ring finger under the handle of the
buffer while the index and the middle fingers are on its top
and the pinky is on its side. Apply a small amount of powder
over the buffer then buff the nails with downward strokes
from the base to the free edge of each nail until a smooth
clear gloss has been obtained. Buffing helps in giving the
nail natural gloss and increases blood circulation to the
finger tips. To prevent heating and burning sensation, lift the
buffer from the nail after each stroke.
HAND AND FOOT SPA
Foot File
Start with the course side of the foot file. Gently slide it back
and forth across the ball of your foot and the bottom the
toes. Still with the rough side of the file work mostly on the
outside rim of the heel. Flip the file over and repeat the
process with each foot. The fine side will smoothen the skin
and leave it feeling polished.

Callous Remover
Insert the blade into the callous remover with care. Lay the
callous remover on the top thick part of the callous. Do not
lay the blade above the area that is going to be cut, as this
may result in cutting the soft part of the foot, resulting to
open wound. Applying light pressure with a steady hand on
the callous remover, gently glide it over the callous.
Repeat the process if necessary until the callous is thinner.
Smoothen the callous with a foot file.
Pumice Stone
After soaking the feet in warm soapy water, use the pumice
stone to gently buff away cracked or dry skin of the feet with
a soft, circular motion. Never apply heavy pressure to the
pumice for this can cause sores, open wounds and possible
infection.
Hand and Foot Spa Machine
Make sure that electrical wirings are dry andprotected
from accidental water spillage. Set the machine to the
temperature that the client can withstand.
