Nail Cutting

Your licensed nail specialist may or may not trim your nails depending on your desired nail length. If your nails are already short, then filing will do fine. If your nails are long but you prefer them shorter during the manicure,they’ll be cut and filed to your desired shape.

Nail Filing and Shaping

Natural nail specialists use nail files to gently shorten and shape the edges of the nails. You’ll be asked what shape of nail you prefer. If you’re not sure, ask our professionals what shape they think will suit your nails best.

Cutting and Tidying Cuticles

Cuticles are the dry skin surrounding the nail plate, where your nail and finger meet. If you experience sensitivity around the cuticle area, please let your technician know.

Buff to Shine

If you’re not having a polish, this will be the final stage of your manicure. Using a nail buffer, your manicurist will polish the nail surface to create a consistent and shiny look.

Nail Painting

A clear base coat is applied to your nails to help the polish adhere best to your nails. Base coats are used because they create a protective barrier between your nails and the damaging effects of nail polish. Next, two coats of nail polish are applied and finally, your service provider will paint on a top coat to prevent chipping.

What are the Steps of a Skin Apeel Pedicure?

Pedicures feel great, are good for your skin and leave you looking and feeling your best. Although there are different types of pedicures with various steps, these are the essentials that they all have in common.

Nails Trimmed

The first step of a pedicure is nail trimming. This step isn’t mandatory and is only performed upon a client’s request. If you prefer clippers, you can ask your technician to use them to cut length over scissors.

Nails Shaped

Your toe nails will be shaped using a nail file. Your provider will typically file straight across to help prevent ingrown nail growth.

Cuticle Work

Cuticles are the dry skin surrounding the nail plate, where your nail and finger meet. If you experience sensitivity around the cuticle area, please let your technician know.

Exfoliation

Your Skin Apeel specialist will use a deep exfoliation scrub to rid your feet of excess skin. The scrub is applied generously up to your ankles and then removed with water. This step will leave your skin feeling fresh and soft.

Hydration Bath

Your technician will invite you to place your feet into the pedicure bowl to soak in warm water.

Foot Massage

After drying your feet off, your pedicurist will use a lotion to masse your feet and lower legs. This relaxing step leaves your skin feeling hydrated. It’s recommended that you continue this step at home to maintain soft skin.
