Pedicure is not only a care treatment but also a way to relax and a moment to take care of our feet. In recent years, two methods have gained popularity: Japanese and hybrid pedicure. Each has its unique advantages and benefits. However, the question often arises: can they be combined? Let’s take a closer look at both techniques to answer this question.
Japanese pedicure – natural care
Japanese pedicure is a method derived from traditional Japanese care. Its main goal is to strengthen and nourish the nails. The use of natural ingredients such as silica paste, vitamins A and E, and bee pollen makes the nails stronger and more flexible. The result is healthy-looking, shiny nails without the need for polish.
What distinguishes this method? The nails are polished, allowing better absorption of nutrients. For people with weakened, brittle nails, Japanese pedicure can be an ideal solution. More information about this technique can be found on the “Vogue” magazine website [source](https://www.vogue.pl).
Hybrid pedicure – durability and color
On the other hand, hybrid pedicure is a technique that combines traditional nail painting with the durability of gel. Thanks to the UV or LED lamp, the hybrid polish hardens, making the manicure extremely durable and resistant to damage for several weeks. An additional advantage is the rich color palette, allowing self-expression and style matching to the occasion.
For those who value durability and color intensity, hybrid pedicure is an excellent choice. However, it is worth remembering that too frequent use of this method without proper breaks can weaken the nail plate.
Can these methods be combined?
Combining Japanese pedicure with hybrid is a topic that raises controversy. On one hand, Japanese pedicure strengthens and nourishes the nails, which theoretically could prepare them for applying hybrid. On the other hand, the Japanese method involves polishing the nails, making them smooth and slippery. This can hinder the adhesion of hybrid polish.
In practice, applying hybrid on nails after Japanese pedicure can lead to faster chipping of the polish. Therefore, many specialists recommend using these methods separately, giving the nails time to regenerate between treatments. What do you think? Have you ever tried to combine these techniques, or do you have a different opinion?
Our opinion at Easy Nails
At Easy Nails, we always prioritize the health and safety of our clients. Therefore, we suggest not directly combining Japanese pedicure with hybrid. We recommend using Japanese pedicure as a form of regeneration and nourishment for the nails between hybrid treatments. Such a cycle allows enjoying the beautiful appearance of nails without the risk of weakening them.
It is also worth remembering proper foot care at home. Regular moisturizing, using nourishing creams, and maintaining proper hygiene are key to healthy and beautiful nails.
