USAGE OF TOOLS
AND EQUIPMENT
1. NAIL FILE
Hold the file firmly with your dominant hand position the nail file
and tilt it slightly under the free edge of the nail and file nails by
sliding the nail file across the free edge to center of nail in one
stroke. Work from corner to center of the nail; avoid sawing
action to prevent splitting or breakage of nails. Do not file too
deep into corners. Inspect the free edges if there are rough spots,
file nails by lightly filing in downward stroke with fine side of the
emery board.
2. EMERY BOARD
It is held in the same manner as the

nail file. File the rough surface of
the nail using the fine side to
smoothen it.
3. ORANGE WOOD STICK
It is held in the same manner as in writing with
a pencil. To loosen cuticle, work around nail; for
applying cuticle 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.
4.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.
5. NAIL CLIPPERS
Hold clippers with cutting edges

downward between thumb, index, and
middle finger. Press clipper handles by
squeezing them together and removes
excess nail length.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.

of the nails?

stick?

Hand and foot spa
Callous remover
Apply 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.
Foot file
Start with the coarse side of the foot file.
Gently slide it back and forth across the ball of your
foot and the bottom toes. 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.
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 stone for this
can cause sores, open wounds, and possible
infection.
Hand and foot spa machine
Make sure that electrical wirings are dry
and protected from accidental water
spillage. Set the machine to the
temperature that the client can
withstand.
