Now that you know the uses of the different tools, implements, and cosmetics used in manicure, below are illustrations on the proper way of handling these supplies.

Activity 1: Immersion Directions: In pairs, perform the proper ways of handling some nail care equipment

and implements. Success in nail care service depends on the correct and proper way of handling equipment and implements. Your client will trust you if they know that you are confident in what you are doing. 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. Orangewood 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.

Process


4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Nail Brush

d. Fill the jar with 70% to 90% alcohol solution to cover cutting edges and tips

of orangewood sticks.

***

Keep in mind that all tools/implements and equipment should

not be used unless effectively sanitized or sterilized so as to prevent

potential diseases. Ensure that all materials are neatly organized. All

manicurists should maintain a high standard of personal hygiene.


It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, and disinfect

hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces before and after each

use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly,

painful and sometimes, fatal. There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization.

Do a cursory cleaning after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep

tools safe and useful all the time.

1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes.

2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10 solution by mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a detergent to remove any dirt or debris.

3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-contamination with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the tools and allow them to dry.

4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before storing them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use.

5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair, replacement or condemnation.

1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good sanitary condition.

2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar insects.

3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and cold water.

4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept clean.

Safekeeping and Storage of Tools and Implements

Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe


Let us remember

5. All hair, used cotton or other waste materials must be removed from the floor immediately, and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from the salon premises at frequent intervals.

6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual towels.

7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.

8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.

9. All waste materials should be disposed of in an enclosed waste bin fitted with polythene bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.

See to it that functional tools and equipment are stored safely in accordance with

salon requirements and local health regulations. Non-functional or faulty tools and

equipment are segregated and labeled properly either for repair or for discarding.

Do the following measures after every manicure service:

1. Tools which are made of plastic should be kept clean and sanitized properly in preparation for the next use.

2. Empty bottles and containers are discarded in a separate trash bin. 3. Used cosmetic products and other chemicals are stored, arranged and

properly labeled. 4. Finger bowls must be cleansed and sanitized before use for the next patron. 5. Metal tools and instruments must be sterilized following proper sterilization

techniques. After the process, store it in a dry cabinet until needed. 6. Tools/Implements which are made of porous materials such as nail files,

buffers, nail brushes and orangewood sticks can harbor bacteria easily. Since they are wood products which cannot be sterilized, these tools are disposables.

7. Waste materials should be disposed of properly in an enclosed waste container fitted with polythene bag and should be sanitized with disinfectant regularly in a well-ventilated area. Remember to wear protective gloves while doing this.

8. Contaminated wastes should be disposed of, following the right procedures prescribed by local authorities.

9. Any tool or equipment in poor condition must be repaired immediately or disposed of properly for the safety of both client and manicurist.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a planned system of working to prevent

illness and injury at work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health

and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the beauty service

industries. You must identify the hazards where you are working and evaluate how

dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.

Harm- is an adverse health effects on something or someone under certain

conditions at work.

Risk - the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an

adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard.

Identifying workplace hazards means looking for those things at your workplace

that have the potential to cause harm.

There are many hazards present at a beauty salon that deserves your attention.

Use this guide as a starting point for conducting a risk assessment at your facility to correct

potential hazards and to keep your clients safety.

1) Electrical Hazard

Ask a qualified electrician

to check all pieces of electrical

equipment in the workplace

annually or as often as possible

Common hazards in a beauty salon


Many of the electrical appliances used in the beauty salons can create serious

health and safety risks, particularly in wet conditions. Damage to equipment increases

this risk. Electrical shock can result in electrocution, burns, and injuries from falls.

2.) Chemical Hazard

These are substances used and/or produced at work that have the potential to

harm the health and safety of people at work. Health effects of some hazardous

substances include skin irritation, coughs, asthma, sensitization, poisoning and cancer

3.) Fire Hazard

As a beauty salon staff, you must be aware of and trained in fire and emergency

evacuation procedures in the workplace.

4.) Biological Hazards

Biohazards also refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of

living organisms, primarily that of humans. Micro-organisms live on skin, in food and dirt are

easily spread between clients and manicurist/pedicurist and are easily transferred by contact

with unwashed hands, soiled equipment or contact with blood and body substances.

5). Ergonomics

An emergency exit way will be

the easiest route by which all of

the clients and staff can leave

the building or salon safely.

Good ventilation can get rid

of the fumes and chemical

smell that builds up in a

salon.

Use appropriate personal

protective clothing (PPE).

Paying attention to how you perform

these tasks can prevent many

injuries, e.g. lower back, neck, wrist,

and shoulder pain.

Nail technicians must assume

that all blood and other body

substances are potential

sources of infection.


Manicurist/pedicurist use forceful repetitive movements such as filing and

buffing nails and holding uncomfortable positions for long period of time, thereby

increasing risk for musculoskeletal injuries.

Personal protective equipment is clothing equipment designed to be worn

by a manicurist or salon workers to protect them from risks of injury or illness. It

should only be considered as a control measure when exposure to a risk that cannot

be minimized.

The following are personal protective clothing of a salon worker:

Gloves Eyewear

Splash proof apron Protective mask

Advantages of wearing PPE at work:

a. Prevents damage to workers nails and skin.

b. To prevent skin from absorbing potentially harmful chemicals which may

cause skin allergies, irritation, or other related problems.

c. So as not to generate a lot of dust, it may be necessary to wear a dust mask

Lesson 4:

Manicure and Pedicure Services

Know

A. Basic Information on Hands and Nails


It is very important for a manicurist to learn and understand the anatomy and

function of the nails so you could give your clients a professional and responsible

service and care.

Nails are a part of the skin and are made up of the same protein, keratin

(KER-a-tin), as skin and hair. It is composed of then hardest keratin. The technical

term for nail in onyx ( ON-iks). The purpose of nails is to protect the ends of fingers

and toes and to help the fingers grasp small objects. Adult fingernails grow at an

average rate of 1/8 inch a month; toenails grow more easily. The characteristics of

healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and translucent pink. Its surface is smooth, curved,

and unspotted, without any hollows or wavy ridges.

Normally, nails replace themselves every four months and grow more quickly

in summer than in winter. The nail grows fastest on the middle finger and slowest on

the thumb.

The entire nail structure consists of the parts of the actual nail and structures

of skin beneath and surrounding the nail.

Below is the diagram of the nail and its structure.

The actual nail consists of the nail body, nail root, and free edge.

Structure of Nails


Nail body or Plate - is the main part or plate of nail that is attached to the

skin at the tip of the finger.

Nail root - is where the nail growth begins. It is embedded underneath the

skin at the base of the nail.

Free edge - is the end of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip.

Structure Beneath the Nail

The structures beneath the nail include the nail bed. matrix, and lunula.

Nail Bed is the portion of skin beneath the nail body that the nail plates rest

upon. Its is supplied with blood vessels that provide the nourishment

necessary for nail growth. The nail bed also contains nerves.

Matrix (May-triks) contains nerves together with lymph and blood vessels that

produce the nail cells and control the rate of growth of the nails. It is located

under the nail root. The matrix is the very sensitive part of the nail and if

injured will produce nails with irregular growth and disorders.

Note: Be careful not to apply excessive pressure to this area during a manicure.

Lunula is the light-colored half-moon shape at the base of the nail. This is

where the matrix connects with the nail bed.

Skin Surrounding the nail

The skin surrounding the nail includes the cuticle, nail fold, nail grooves, nail

wall, eponychium, perionychium, and hyponychium.

Cuticle( KYOO-ti-kel) is the overlapping skin around the nail. A normal

cuticle should be loose and pliable.

Nail Fold Or Mantle (MAN-tel) is the deep fold or skin at the base of the nail

where the nail root is embedded.

Nail Grooves are slits or tracks in the nail bed at the sides of the nail on which

the nail grows.

Nail Wall is the skin on the sides of the nail above the grooves.

Eponychium (ep-o-NIK-ee-um) is the thin line of skin at the base of the nail

that extends from the nail wall to the nail plate.

Perionychium (PER-i-o-nikee-um) is the part of the skin that surrounds the

entire nail area.

Hyponychium (heye-poh-NIK-ee-um) is the part of the skin under the free

edge of the nail.


The shapes of your nail should conform to your fingertips. Below are the

different shapes of the nail:

1. Oval Nail

It is common among people with long, perfect nail beds. It may be styled

slightly rounded at the base and slightly pointed at the fingertips. Most often this type

of nail has a natural look and looks very good in short-medium length.

2. Square nail

It is created by allowing the nail to grow out straight and then filing the tip

straight across at right angles with the rest of the nail plate.

3. Round Nail

This is ideal for shorter nails. The nail is ideal to grow out at the sides for

approximately 1.5 mm and then the tip is filed into a rounded shape. This is a strong

shape which is great for those who keep their nails short.

4. Squoval Nail

The squoval nail is a square nail but the softer edges of an oval.

5. Pointed Nail

A pointed nail is filed away at the sides to a point at the tip; this shape is very

weak as the sides of the nail (which provide the strength) are totally lost.

Oval nail Square nail Round nail Squoval nail Pointed nail

Shapes of Nail


Have you ever seen a person with nail disorder or disease?

Our bodies host a variety of microorganisms, some of which are beneficial to

us. These microorganisms also include bacteria and fungi. Fungal infections are

caused by microscopic plants that live on our skin and on the dead tissue of our hair

and nails. This is called nail diseases.

Nail diseases are conditions of both the nail, and the surrounding skin which

result from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Some conditions will show a green,

yellow, or black discoloration of the nail, depending on the nature of the infection.

The main course of infection is through damaged cuticles and broken skin.

Nail disorder, on the other hand is a condition caused by injury to the nail or

disease or imbalance in the body.

As a nail technician, it is very important for you to learn how to recognize the

symptoms of nail disorders so you can make a responsible decision about whether

you should perform a service on your client.

An inflammation is red and sore. An infection will have evidence of pus. Broken

skin or nail tissue is a cut or tear that exposes deeper layers of these structures.

Raised or swollen skin appears fatter than normal skin and rise above the normal

level.

The golden rule is that, if the nail or skin to be worked on is infected,

inflamed, broken, or swollen, a manicurist/pedicurist should not render his/her

service to the client, instead refer him/her to a dermatologist.

Onychosis is a technical term applied to nail disease.

Nail Diseases and Disorders


The following are the nail disorders that can be serviced by a nail technician.

Nail Disorders Appearance Characteristics

1. Bruised Nail

A condition in which a clot of blood forms under the nail plate caused by injury to the nail bed. Give gentle manicure. May need to refer to a medical practitioner

2. Discolored nails

A condition in which the nails turn a variety of colors including yellow, blue, blue-grey, green, red & purple. It is caused by poor blood circulation, heart condition, or topical or oral medication. Application of colored nail polish can hide this condition.

3. Eggshell Nail

Nail plate is thin, white, and curved over the free edge. The condition is caused by improper diet, internal disease, medication, or nervous disorders. Give gentle manicure; do not use pressure with a metal pusher at the base of the nail.

4. Hangnails

A condition which the cuticle around the nails splits. It is caused by dry cuticles or cuticles that have been cut too close to the nail. This condition can be improved by softening the cuticles with oil and trimming the cuticles with nippers. Hangnails are also called agnail. Give gentle manicure with emphasis on cuticle work.

5. Leukonychia

A condition in which spots appear on the nails. It is caused by air bubbles, a bruise, or other injury to the nail.


6. Onychatrophia or atrophy of the nail

The wasting away of the nail, causing it to lose its lustre and become smaller. The nail can also shed completely. This condition is mainly caused by injury or disease. Manicure gently, if the condition is not severe.

7. Onychauxis or Hypertrophy

An overgrowth of the nail caused by internal imbalance, local infection, or heredity.

8.Onychocryptosis (Ingrown Nails)

The nail grows into the sides of the flesh and may cause infection. Incorrect trimming and shaping of nails are often responsible for ingrown nails. Do not manicure or pedicure, if infection is present. Refer to medical practitioner.

9. Onychorrexis

It is a split or brittle nails, caused by injury to the finger or exposure to harsh chemicals. You may give oil manicures to improve the condition.

10. Nevus

A brown or black stain on the nail caused by a pigmented mole that occurs in the nail. Application of colored polish can hide this disorder.

12.Onychopagy ( Bitten Nails)

A medical term for nails that have been bitten enough to become deformed. Regular manicure may help to stop nail biting.


13. Pterygium

Common condition of the forward growth of the cuticle. The cuticle sticks to the nail and, if not treated, will grow over the nail to the free edge. Do not attempt to remove the wing of skin as it is quite possible that there is no nail plate growth under the wing.

14. Onycholysis

A condition in which the nail loosens from the nail bed, beginning usually at the free edge and continuing to the lunula, but does not come off. If possible, keep the nail short to avoid the free edge catching on things and resulting in further separation. Refer to a medical practitioner, if it is permanent.

The following are nail diseases that cannot be serviced by a nail

technician or manicurist:

NAIL DISEASES APPEARANCE CHARACTERISITICS

1. Mold

A fungus infection of the nail that is usually caused when moisture seeps between an artificial nail and the free edge. Molds starts with a yellow - green color and darkens to black if not treated by a doctor.

Apply colored nail polish creating a half- circle design at the inner side of the nail as you continue it to form S-like. 3. Fill up the other side to complete the design. 4. Remove excess polish. 5. Seal with a top coat.

Sheer colors and jelly polishes are great for regular manicures, but highly-pigmented colors are best for nail art.

Remember.fewer coats = fewer mistakes.

Tips in Creating Manicure Designs


Always use a base coat and finish with a glossy top coat for shine and protection. These are like primer and powder for the face essential for staying power!

Cleaning up polish that ends up outside the lines can be removed by orangewood stick.
