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. Use it with utmost
care to remove dead cuticle and hangnails so as not to
injure live tissue.
13
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
14
pumice for this can cause sores, open wounds and
possible infection.
Personal Protective Equipment are the garments designed to protect the wearer’s
body from injury or chemicals or for job-related occupational safety and health
purposes.
