A woman should always remain beautiful, from her hair to her toes. To keep your legs beautiful and well-groomed, you need to regularly get a classic pedicure. This is the most common method of treating nails and foot skin. During the process, existing calluses are removed, the rough layer of epithelium is removed, and the nails are tidied up. To obtain a positive result, it is important to comply with sanitary and hygienic standards and the technology of the procedure itself.
Increasingly, not only girls and women began to take care of the beauty and health of their legs. Men's classic, hardware and preparation pedicures are widespread in salons, especially during the holidays and hot seasons.
Features of the procedure
The pedicure procedure has features that largely depend on the condition of the feet, skin structure, etc. Regular foot care at home extends the period between salon visits.
The frequency is also affected by the rate of nail growth, since as the nail plate grows, pressure from shoes occurs, which can result in ingrowth into the skin. Complex and deformed nails can be partially or completely changed only in a salon setting using modern technologies by experienced specialists.
But you should not abuse the constant effect on the skin and nail plate. Frequent sanding and polishing can lead to cuts, large detachments, increased skin sensitivity and other unpleasant problems.
Types of pedicure
The classic form is also called a trim pedicure, since excess cuticle and keratinized areas are simply cut off.
Recently, various types of pedicure have become widespread: European, Brazilian, spa.
Unlike the classic European pedicure, there is no cutting of the cuticle. It is simply softened with the help of a cream that gradually and safely dissolves the skin. Then it is moved with a wooden stick. There is a minus: a good result will only be achieved after several procedures.
Brazilian pedicure is also gaining popularity.
This is an integrated approach using special socks in combination with a cream containing emollients and antiseptic substances. This method allows you to do without water and steaming. It is recommended to repeat the procedure for three days, 10-15 minutes each. If necessary, the three-day course can be repeated.
Such types of pedicure as Chinese and Korean are very similar to Brazilian. This is also a fairly simple way to get rid of old, rough skin. You need to fill your socks with a special product and walk around like this for several hours.
Of course, the result after using the socks will not appear immediately. The skin will peel off within a few days, and the feet will take on a somewhat unsightly appearance. But in the end you will have delicate and soft skin, like a baby’s. It is better to start this procedure at least a few weeks before the start of open shoe season.
Pros and cons of technology
The advantage of a high-quality pedicure is to tidy up your feet and give them a well-groomed appearance. This is achieved by removing existing defects, decorating the nail plate with the most suitable method (device, edged, European) or a combination of types of pedicure.
Competent manipulations transform even the most problematic legs. After the session, corns, calluses, and ingrown nails disappear.
In difficult cases, a medical pedicure is useful, since a cosmetic pedicure only affects the aesthetic appearance of the foot. It is important to choose a professional master who follows all the rules of the procedure. Otherwise, a pedicure may lead to health problems.
Disadvantages of the procedure:
- if the instrument processing steps are not followed, infection can occur (including hepatitis and HIV);
- increased morbidity in the absence of experience;
- A trimmed pedicure activates the work of skin cells, which is why it grows quite quickly and becomes rough.

Stages of pedicure
The main stages of a pedicure include preparing the necessary tools, treating the surface of the feet, subsequent removal of skin defects, treating the nail plate (if necessary with a decorative coating), and moisturizing the skin with suitable cosmetics.
An additional condition is daily care, which allows you to prolong the result and keep your feet looking beautiful and tidy.
Carrying out a procedure in a beauty salon
Contacting a specialist will reduce the procedure time and get a better result. Some people wonder what it takes to get a pedicure at a salon. No preliminary preparation is required; it is enough to observe the minimum hygiene rules, and an experienced specialist will perform all the manipulations independently:
- Preparatory stage. A prerequisite before the procedure: the master’s hands are treated with an antiseptic and gloves are put on. Then the surface of the skin is disinfected to prevent infection. If there is a coating on the nails, it must be removed. For simple varnish, a special liquid is used; for gel, removal with a machine is preferable.
- Steaming the feet is required only in classical technology; the hardware method is performed on a dry surface. A bath of warm water softens the skin, after which the client’s feet are treated with a grater. This makes it easy to remove keratinized areas and carefully cut off the ridges around the nail plate and cuticle with pliers.
- In the European method, instead of steaming, professional pedicure products are used, which achieve a similar effect for treating calluses and removing corns. To soften the cuticle around the nail plate, a remover is applied.
- Nail treatment. Using a machine or tweezers, they are given the desired length and shape, and finished with a file and a grinder. If there are problem nails, a special tool is used to correct defects. To prevent ingrowth into the skin, you should not leave too sharp corners, but you should not round them too much.
- Nail coating. After treating the surface of the foot and correcting the nails, the process of decorative coating is carried out. This stage is carried out in accordance with technology. The first layer is applied with preparatory liquids (for degreasing and adhesion of the nail plate to the varnish), then a base layer (to protect the plate from the effects of dyes), after that several layers of colored coating (depending on density), and, if desired, decor/design , at the end - a finishing layer (to consolidate the result).
- Application of moisturizing and nourishing products. The procedure is considered complete if, after all manipulations, cosmetics are applied to the skin with massage movements. The active ingredients allow you to maintain the effect after the session for a longer period. To care for the cuticle, it is recommended to rub oil (almond, coconut, olive, peach and others).
Carrying out the procedure yourself
The inability to visit a salon is not a problem for home foot care. The sequence is practically no different from salon equipment. You must first prepare the instrument used and the skin of your feet. To do this, the feet are steamed in a bath or special exfoliating agents are applied.
After thorough steaming, rough spots can be easily removed using a grater or pumice stone. The overgrown cuticle is carefully pushed back with an orange stick and, if necessary, trimmed with nippers or nail scissors. It is important to follow the execution technology, as careless movement can cause injury and infection. The length and shape of the nail is adjusted.
At the end of the session, it is necessary to wash off any remaining cosmetic products from the surface and apply a nourishing cream.
Advantages and disadvantages of trimmed pedicure
Any pedicure is performed using a certain technology that must be followed. Today there are several common methods of nail care: classic pedicure, European, hardware and a complex of spa treatments for the feet. Each girl decides for herself which treatment option she prefers. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the undeniable advantages and possible disadvantages of edge technology so that you can draw certain conclusions for yourself.
The classic option for treating the skin of feet and nails is popular with most girls due to the following characteristics.
- Trim pedicure is a series of hygienic foot care procedures that can be easily done at home. In order to perform such a pedicure yourself, you need to have all the necessary tools on hand. For those who are encountering classical technology for the first time, we suggest watching the interesting video presented at the end of our article. There you will find detailed step-by-step instructions, a complete list of manicure tools, as well as some practical tips for performing a trim pedicure.
- Pedicure, which represents the classic method of treatment, is very effective in combating rough areas of skin. All kinds of corns and calluses that appear on the feet are easiest and fastest to remove using special sharp tools.
Among the disadvantages of trimmed pedicure, the following nuances can be highlighted.
- A pedicure using sharp manicure accessories requires extreme care, since any careless movement can lead to cuts and wounds.
- Before performing a classic pedicure, it is necessary to thoroughly disinfect all instruments to eliminate the possibility of various infections.
- You should treat areas near cracks very carefully, because by cutting off excess skin in this area, you can not only accidentally injure yourself, but also cause an infection.
As you can see, hygienic pedicure, which is based on the trimming method of treating the skin of the legs, has its pros and cons. However, following all the rules and having experience will help you avoid possible injuries.
Actions for sore fingers
In some cases, finger inflammation occurs after a pedicure. Unpleasant symptoms appear the very next day. This is due to the fact that an injury was sustained during the procedure, although it may not be immediately noticeable. The skin of the thumb is most often affected.
To prevent the infection from spreading to other areas, do not wait for swelling and accumulation of pus.
It is recommended to consult a specialist who will examine the finger and prescribe appropriate treatment. This is a course of antibiotics, applying bandages with antibacterial agents, using a medicinal foot bath, taking vitamins to increase immunity.
At home, they effectively relieve inflammation and draw out purulent contents using a bandage with aloe, honey, potatoes, and celandine. Starting treatment from the first days will allow you to quickly cope with the problem without subsequent contact with a surgeon.

- Svetlana | 2016-06-08 11:18:03 Classic manicure seems very simple, but in fact there are so many nuances! Only a master can do it correctly from start to finish. Previously, I also tried to do something myself, but once I visited a manicurist, I felt the difference. Now I only go to a manicure specialist, they are truly professionals in their field.

I got my manicure done in a salon, and everything there is absolutely sterile and the instruments are disposable. The circumcision process is underway there!
How often to care for your feet
There is no clear answer to how often you can get a pedicure. The frequency of the procedure is influenced by multiple factors. This includes the time of year, a person’s lifestyle, preferred shoes, structural features of the skin, and health status.
Daily care is also important, which prolongs a salon or home pedicure - how often it needs to be done depends on the appearance of the legs. Rapid growth of the cuticle and roughening of skin areas requires more frequent procedures. But when using various cosmetic products for foot care, a visit to a good pedicurist is required much less often.
To nourish and moisturize dead skin, apply a drop of oil and rub in thoroughly with massage movements.
The question of how often to get a pedicure is also influenced by the technique you choose. With trimming technology, the coarsened layers are cut off, as a result of which the cells begin to actively grow, which leads to the rapid coarsening of areas. An alternative is to choose a drug or hardware pedicure.
With proper care and normal condition of the feet, visits to manicure and pedicure studios are carried out once every 3-4 weeks. If you have problem nails and other features of the skin of the feet, it is recommended to carry out the procedure after 1-2 weeks. A quality pedicure is an integral part of your look.
Inventory
During preparation, you must check and purchase the necessary equipment.
Deep basin. Here everything is in the hands of a woman. Where there is comfort, there is pleasure.
The required amount of deodorizing products must always be available for cleaning instruments. With their help, instruments are processed, eliminating dangerous microbes.
Sanding file for feet.
Heel grater, or machine. During preparation, its presence is mandatory. Helps get rid of rough skin on the heels.
Finger separator plate. It is designed to provide free access to each finger separately. Treating the nail plate, removing cuticles, applying coatings - all this becomes more comfortable and convenient.
Orange sticks are excellent helpers in removing cuticles.
Files. You can often see glass files in salons. They are popular among craftsmen. The reason is their safety, they are not so sharp and do not damage the integrity of the nail.
Nippers or nail scissors. Nippers provide an even cut, which is why they are used more often during trimming pedicures.
Strengthening agents or decorative varnishes. Their choice is individual.
Performing a classic pedicure in a salon
Only professionals in their field work in the Nogotok studios. A classic pedicure can only be performed by a professional, as the procedure can be traumatic. Each master in our salons undergoes regular re-certification and advanced training. We also carefully monitor the cleanliness and sterility of procedures. Tools used in work are subjected to multi-phase processing. Our clients can be confident in the quality of services provided in all Nogotok studios.
How to do a trim manicure yourself
If you learn the art of manicure, you can save a good amount of money as well as a lot of time. We will clearly show you how to make a classic edged manicure using a photo.
First, remove the old coating from your nails, if any. We strongly do not recommend cutting your nails; use a file to shape them. If you have strong nails, you can safely purchase a sand file. Next, process the plate, cutting off all the irregularities and roughness. After making the mold, prepare the bath. Pour warm water into a container, add oil, dip your nails in it and steam them for seven minutes. Next we move on to the cuticle: first move it back with an orange stick, and then remove it with scissors or tweezers. As a finishing touch, coat your nails with polish.
