Foot care is a key element of maintaining health and appearance. At Easy Nails, we know well that a professional pedicure requires not only skills but also deep knowledge and experience. Today, we would like to share with you the most common mistakes made during pedicures and offer tips on how to avoid them. We invite you to read!
Inadequate Foot Preparation
One of the basic mistakes is the lack of proper foot preparation before the procedure. The skin on the feet should be cleansed and softened to facilitate the removal of calloused skin. We recommend a foot bath in warm water with the addition of salts or essential oils, which will not only relax but also soften the skin.
Improper Tools
Another common mistake is using inappropriate tools. During a pedicure procedure, only professional, sterile, and well-sharpened tools should be used. Dull or poorly chosen instruments can cause injuries or undesirable effects, such as layered or over-filed nails or skin irritation. At Easy Nails, we use only high-quality tools from renowned brands, which we regularly replace and sterilize.
Improper Technique
Another important aspect is the correct technique for performing a pedicure. Incorrect movements, too much pressure, or inappropriate angles can lead to damage to the skin or nails. Our beauticians undergo regular training to ensure the highest level of service. Moreover, we apply an individual approach to each client, taking into account the condition of their skin and nails. We are convinced that only comprehensive knowledge and experience guarantee professional results. Therefore, at Easy Nails, we focus on continuously improving the qualifications of our team.
Not Trimming Toenails
Trimming nails is one of the key stages of a pedicure, which has not only aesthetic but primarily health significance. Too long toenails can cause improper pressure on the nail plate, which promotes its detachment, known as onycholysis—a problem that not only affects the appearance of the nail but also increases the risk of bacterial and fungal infections. Long nails are also more prone to mechanical injuries, which can lead to painful inflammations or deformities of the plate. Regular and proper trimming of nails helps maintain their health, minimizes the risk of ingrowth, and ensures comfort during daily activities. Therefore, it is worth remembering that skipping this step in foot care is a neglect that can lead to more serious problems.
Lack of Post-treatment Care
The last but equally important mistake is the lack of proper foot care after a pedicure. To maintain the beautiful appearance and health of your feet, you should regularly moisturize them, use protective creams, and avoid situations that may lead to irritation or damage. Our specialists are happy to advise on which products to use and how to care for them.
