Lesson
Concepts of Manicure
1 and Pedicure
In the previous modules, you have learned about the structure of the nail and
identified different nail disorders and diseases and their treatment. You have also
learned the benefits of hand and foot spa treatment.

In this module, you will learn the concepts of manicure and pedicure. Basic
hygiene and safety measures will be described and decontamination is being
discussed. Before rendering manicure and pedicure services, nail structure and
conditions need to be analyzed and checked to address possible problems. The
client’s consultation is very important in rendering manicure and pedicure services.
Checking and analyzing the nail conditions were already discussed in the previous
lessons

MANICURE AND PEDICURE

A manicure is a beauty treatment that is specifically geared towards improving the
condition and appearance of the hands and nails. A typical manicure involves
shaping the nails, cuticle treatment, removal of dead skin cells (exfoliation),
application of polish and possibly a hand massage.

3
A pedicure is a beauty treatment for improving the condition and appearance of
the feet and toenails. A standard pedicure starts with sanitizing the feet. This is
followed by filing and/or cutting the toenails, and soaking the feet in warm, soapy
water to which an antiseptic is added. Once the feet are softened, the therapist
then proceeds to scrub any areas of the foot which has hardened, rough skin.
Under the nail is cleaned and cuticles are gently pushed back. Nail polish is then
applied to the toenails.

Manicure and pedicure offer many benefits, including improving the texture and
appearance of hands and feet, prevention of hangnails, ingrown nails and nail
breakage. Treatments that include massage also help preserve the firmness and
elasticity of the skin on the hands and feet as well as aid circulation and improve
the flexibility of joints. Most nail polish can stay on nails for 2-3 weeks before
another manicure/pedicure if there is no deliberate damage to it.

The word manicure and pedicure are derived from two Latin words
MANUS – Hands PEDIS - Feet
CURA - Care CURA – Care

MANICURE
is the proper care of hands and nails.

PEDICURE
Is the proper care of feet and toenails.

The following are the similarities of manicure and pedicure:

 hands and feet are soaked in a sanitizing solution
 both finger and toenails are filed and shaped
 cuticles are pushed back
 dead skin cells are removed from the hands and feet
 a massage is given to both the hands and feet
 polish is applied to the nails of hands and feet

Once you learned the concepts about manicure and pedicure, this could be your
stepping stone to augment personal income. This activity can be performed at
home.

Hygiene and Sanitation

Hygiene and sanitation in the beauty salon are important. The beauty therapist
must be very careful to maintain a safe and clean environment. To provide
professional manicure and pedicure services to clients you have to understand how
to prevent infection and cross infection.

4
Decontamination is the removal of all disease-causing pathogens. There are three
main ways to decontaminate or clean things in the salon:
 Sanitizing - is a process that significantly reduces bacteria
 Disinfecting - a chemical form of cleaning which kills most germs
 Sterilizing - a cleaning method that kills all germs and bacteria

Sanitized tools and surfaces will still have pathogens or other organisms on them.
Washing your hands is a form of sanitizing. You may think that if you wash your
hands with soap and hot water that they are clean. Indeed they are ‘clean’ but they
will probably still have micro-organisms on them either from the tap or the towel
that you dried them on.

To remove such organisms you would have to go to the next level of

decontamination. Having said that, hand-washing is one of the most important
actions which anyone can take to prevent getting infected themselves and from
causing infection in others. But beware! You should avoid the use of bar soaps in
the salon as bacteria can even grow on these! It is safer to use the liquid soap
which comes in a pump-action bottle.

Disinfecting tools and equipment

Most tools and equipment you use in the salon can be disinfected. An effective
disinfectant should have the following characteristics:
 Convenient to prepare
 Quick acting
 Preferably odorless
 Non-corrosive
 Economical (not too costly)
 Non-irritating to the skin.

5
What can be sterilized?
Only hard, non-porous items can be sterilized. In the salon, this means metal tools
like metal nippers, scissors, and tweezers can be sterilized but tools like nail
brushes, cuticle pushers, and files that are made of plastic or wood can only be
disinfected.

Methods of sterilization
Bacteria and all other micro-organisms are killed by heat. Therefore, placing tools
and equipment in a container that heats them at very high temperatures is the best
way to sterilize. High-temperature sterilization can be wet or dry.

Types of Sterilizer

Wet – an autoclave machine heats water to 121 - 134°C

under high pressure. It is the most common form of
sterilization in the salon and it is also the most effective
method of sterilization.

Dry – the glass bead sterilizer is a small electrically-heated

unit that contains glass beads. The beads are heated and
the heat is transferred to objects placed inside the unit. It
is only really suitable for small objects like nippers and
scissors.

http://oasis.col.org/bitstream/handle/11599/1010/Manicure_Pedicure_BTEP_Final.pdf

Another dry form of sterilization is a special cabinet that contains a lamp that gives
off ultra-violet light. The rays of light destroy micro-organisms. Not all micro-
organisms are destroyed so the ultra-violet cabinet is best used for storing
equipment that has previously been sterilized by the autoclave or disinfected by
chemical method.

To keep previously sterilized tools clean when you are giving a treatment you can
put them in a jar of disinfectant solution (wet sterilizer). Liquid chemical agents are
also available which have to be diluted before use for sterilization. You must be
very careful when using these chemicals as they can harm your skin if it is touched
by the undiluted chemical.

Waste disposal
The waste matter must be disposed of correctly in the salon. Separate all waste.
Some items, such as blades must be disposed of in special containers for sharp
items. Empty chemical containers should be wrapped in plastic before putting
them in the dustbin to ensure there are no leakages. All waste bins should have a
self-closing lid.

6
Are you aware of the concept of a “green and sustainable environment?”

The main aspect of a green and sustainable environment is the concept of the 3
R’s: reduce, reuse and recycle.

You can do these by reducing products used in the salon:

 measure correct quantities of the product;
 separate waste, such as plastics from glass and biodegradable material
(100% cotton wool);
 by using natural products (olive oil and almond oil as cuticle conditioners);
 reducing the use of chemicals.

Empty bottles and cans could be re-used for storage of manicure implements.
Separating waste is an efficient way of identifying material that could be recycled,
for example, plastic bags.

Did you know that Beauty Therapy is one of those

careers that is categorized under “green jobs?” You can
be a part of this exciting movement aimed at making
our environment healthy and sustainable. Keep in mind
the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Lesson
Client Consultation
2
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE SALON

Before you try to do a treatment, first you must understand the client's needs. You
can only get this data by asking them a lot of questions and attempting to answer
all the questions they might have asked you.

This is called effective communication. When answering them, the client should
understand the reason behind the questions asked and feel relaxed. You can speak
plainly when you talk to the customer so that she or he can understand. When he
or she speaks, you can learn to listen to the client and be able to carefully ask
questions.
Ask “open” questions which will encourage the client to give more than a one-word
response of ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

7
Open questioning techniques may begin with how, what, when, or where. For
example ‘How would you like nails to be done?’ ‘What nail care products do you use
currently?’
If, after the consultation, you are unsure of the client’s suitability for treatment,
tactfully explain to the client why this is and ask her to seek medical help before
treatment is given. The expectations of some clients may be unrealistic. If this is
the case tactfully explain why and aim to agree to a realistic treatment program.

At times a client may ask you for information outside your responsibilities, politely
inform her that you are not qualified or unable to deal with her request but you will
get someone you assist him/ her and indicate how long it will take if it will not be
immediately.

Let us briefly look at the key elements of communication

 paying attention or giving the speaker undivided attention
 eye contact-look at people when you communicate with them
 asking questions
 listening-listen twice as much as you speak
 responding-knowing when to respond and what to say

Why is effective communication important?

Effective communication:
 enables you to select the correct procedure to meet client’s needs
 brings success to your business
 reduces chances of tension
 closes the gaps of assumptions
 encourages good interpersonal relations
 enables individuals or groups to perform effectively

Modes of communication
Let us compare the two modes of communication.
1. Verbal Communication:
Use of words spoken or written to express ideas and feelings
2. Non-Verbal Communication:
Communication without words e.g.
 body language/ body posture
 gestures (hand)
 eye contact
 facial expression

Body Language –
 Without saying a word your body can reveal what you are feeling or thinking
 Your ability to read your client’s body language is important

We will now look at the examples of body language. What might the following non-
verbal cues mean?

8
DOS AND DON’TS IN COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR CLIENT
There are certain things that you should do and should not do when handling
clients. When speaking, always speak clearly and precisely, and avoid using slang.
It is important to be a good listener, this will help you identify the client’s treatment
requirements and understand her/ his personality. You can then guide the
conversation appropriately.

Let us look at the table below:

Communication, as you might have known, includes all facets of life. Poor
communication can lead to disagreements, tension and conflict and it can be time-
wasting. All these affect good service delivery.

Communication is a vital element in the beauty industry. We want our clients to be

pleased and satisfied with our services so that they may return and give word of
mouth to others.

Client consultation

A thorough consultation with a client is necessary before carrying out a manicure

and pedicure treatment. Why do you think this is done?

This is done to assess the condition of the client’s skin, nails and cuticles. An
effective analysis will help you to choose appropriate tools and products.

9
Consultation is done in a private room. Recording and keeping your analysis on the
client’s record card will help you compare the progression of the treatment. The
information you have collected from the client is confidential and should be stored
in a secure area following the client's treatment. You have to protect the client’s
privacy and confidentiality according to the Data Protection Act 1998. This is
especially true with recording their biographical data such as contact details, age
and medical history.

Assessment
One of the important parts of the manicure and pedicure treatment is the nail and
skin assessment. This makes it possible to decide as to what care plan is needed
for the client.

Your assessment during the consultation includes:

 Cuticle - are they dry, tight or cracked, or are they soft and supple?
 Nails – are they strong or weak, brittle or flaking? Are they discolored or
stained? What shape are they, square, round, oval? Are they long or short?
Are they bitten?
 Hand - is the skin dry, rough, or chapped, or is it soft and smooth? Is the
color even?
 Are there signs of inflammation or infection?
 After completing the assessment of the client’s hands, nails and skin it is
advisable to work out a treatment plan with your client and agree on the
expected outcome. For example, if the client’s cuticle, nails, and skin are dry
you may advise him/her to come for treatment every week for paraffin
treatments or hot oil treatments, or if they are in good condition they can
only come once a month to maintain them.

Your treatment plan should cover the following:

1. Explaining:
 what is involved in the manicure and pedicure treatment
 how long it will take
 expected treatment benefits and outcomes
 relevant home care advice requirements

2. Welcoming any questions to ensure the client’s understanding

3. Advising the client following your assessment of the client’s nail, cuticle and skin
condition on the most suitable and frequency of the treatment.

Post Treatment
When you have completed the treatment you should inquire from your client if he/
she is satisfied.

You should record:

 the outcome of the treatment,

10
  what future treatments you recommended
 the products you used and those recommended for home care.
 A client card should be provided.

Using Technology in your business

Client records are confidential. They may be filled in manually or electronically, on

computers. They may also be stored physically in a cabinet or electronically in a
database. If you are using a database, it is a good idea to have a backup system in
case data is lost. You may also want to use your mobile phone to store clients’
telephone numbers and your email address book so that you can readily
communicate with clients. A successful business will depend on your
communicating with your clients; informing them about specials, reminding them
about their appointments, informing them if you have an emergency and need to
rebook. Your clients will appreciate this type of communication in addition to
knowing that they always receive a professionally done manicure and pedicure.

bacteria.
 There are three main ways to decontaminate or clean objects in the salon:
 Sanitation is the lowest level of decontamination or cleaning. This method does
not remove all bacteria.

12
 Disinfection is the second level of decontamination. Disinfectants are chemicals
that destroy most (not all) bacteria and some viruses.
 Sterilization is the highest level of decontamination. It destroys all the living
organisms on an object (both harmless ones and pathogens).
 You learned the importance of separating waste and recycling. Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle.
 You also learned about the key elements of communication and its effects on
your relationship with others. The key elements discussed were:
 paying attention to what others are saying
 making eye contact: look at people when you communicate with them
 asking questions
 listening: listen twice as much as you speak
 responding: knowing when to respond and what to say
 When you apply these principles you would discover that they:
 bring success to your business
 reduce chances of tension
 close the gaps of assumptions
 encourage good interpersonal relations
 enable individuals or groups to perform effectively
 The two modes of communication are:
 Verbal communication is the use of words, written or verbal to express
your ideas.
 Non-Verbal communication refers to body language and includes
gestures, facial expressions, and body posture.
 It is helpful to remember basic rules, Do’s and Don’ts of communication.
 Consultation is done to assess the condition of the client’s skin, nails, and
cuticles as well as to identify any contra-indications.
 Before carrying out the consultation you must record the client’s details such as
name, address, contact details and any medical conditions that may affect the
health of the skin and nail. This information must be treated as confidential.
 Making a treatment plan is important. This is necessary for the decision you are
going to make for your client. The materials that you are going to be used, and
when they can return for follow-up treatments.
 A successful business will depend on your communicating with your clients;
informing them about specials, reminding them of their appointments,
informing them if you have an emergency and need to rebook.

15
Congratulations, learner! You have successfully reached the end of this module!

After learning about the concepts of manicure and pedicure, you have learned that
these skills can be developed and mastered through constant practice.

Hygiene and sanitation are important in the salon because this will protect you,
your client and the public from the risk of diseases and infections. A clean, safe,
sterile salon and station will set you apart from much of the competition. Observing
a clean and sanitize workplace will surely provide a quality service to your client.

Good communication is very essential in the business. Being able to communicate

effectively is the most important of all life skills. You must have to allow your client
and yourself to understand the information accurately and quickly. How to talk
with the client before, during and after the treatment. It is important to make your
clients
enjoy visits to the beauty clinic, they pay for the treatments, and therefore you have
to make them feel comfortable, relaxed and appreciated.
