Basic rules of manicure

The rules of manicure have changed. First of all, the instrument has changed. Although iron tools are still used, they are becoming obsolete today. Of course, scissors and tweezers remain, but files, spatulas and other devices today are made from other materials - rubber, wood, cardboard. A file with diamond chips is considered barbaric today. In fact, metal files are so rough on the surface that they do more harm than good. A professional master’s set of files should be quite diverse, since clients’ nails vary in strength, structure and flexibility. A thin, peeling nail can be permanently damaged by a rough file. But if the nail is thick and hard, you'll need something tougher than a fine-grained round file with a buffer zone to file it properly.

The first and main condition is that the instruments must be clean, and the scissors and forceps must be sterile. This is the only way to avoid infection, because in addition to visible gross damage, microscopic damage to the integrity of both skin and nails occurs during the procedure. Infection can enter through these microcracks. After removing a strip of skin around the nail, be sure to wipe the area with 3% hydrogen peroxide, and immediately lubricate the resulting damage with iodine.

A set of basic tools for manicure. In order to perform a manicure at home, you will need special tools:

File – for giving shape to nails. The file can be hard with large and fine diamond coating. This file, as mentioned above, is suitable for normal strong nails. Another type of files – polished – are used for thin and flaky nails;

Small scissors with curved ends are used to correct the shape of nails and cut the cuticle (for trim manicure);

A dull spatula is used to push back the cuticle;

The cleaning stick is used for daily cleaning of nails from dirt;

Nippers are necessary for cutting off hangnails;

Bath bowl. Buy a special bowl that you use exclusively for baths.

Do not forget Before each use of tools, disinfect them with alcohol or at least cologne.

In addition, you will need various correctors, because covering ten nails with varnish at once is not flawless. Buy for yours manicure set polish corrector pen and use it to remove polish from cuticles and the skin around the nail.

Classic or edged manicure

It is also called wet because the procedure includes a bath. However, nails should be cut and filed before the bath, in a dry state. Do not file wet nails– this will lead to their delamination. The composition of the bath itself can be different: a branded solution, a bath from a cosmetic line, or a solution prepared on the basis of natural ingredients. It depends on the artist, the focus and class of the salon, or on your desire. The bath should:

1) soften the cuticle;

2) deeply cleanse and disinfect the skin;

3) have a calming and relaxing effect.

The bath may contain:

Soda, sea or table salt;

Aromatic substances;

Nutrients;

Exfoliating or bleaching agents;

Biologically active components;

Antibacterial components.

Thus, there is room for imagination.

After the bath, the softened cuticle is separated from the surface of the nail plate and removed with nail scissors and tweezers. Apply to the skin around the nail nourishing oil and is distributed over the entire nail plate with massage movements.

A classic manicure can be with or without a hand massage. But usually a massage, more or less long, is carried out. This makes the result of the master’s work more noticeable, as the massage improves skin color, its turgor, and relieves tension. Hands immediately become soft and take on a well-groomed appearance.

Although the method of cutting the cuticle is not recommended, in cases where the skin is rough and manicure is carried out irregularly, this method is the only one available.

The disadvantages of this type of manicure include the following:

The likelihood of injury to the cuticle and infection is more likely than with an unedged manicure;

It is possible that hangnails may appear, especially if the technician is not experienced enough.

To reduce these risks, experts recommend using the nail “sealing” procedure, during which a nourishing cream with vitamins, proteins or special mineral particles is rubbed into the nail after polishing, and then oil, which gives the nails a healthy shine.

A classic manicure is not necessary if you do your nails regularly. For frequent and regular care, other, more gentle types of manicure are suitable. But we'll start with a description classic manicure.

How to cut your nails correctly. Once a week or every two weeks. Cut your nails with scissors with rounded ends, giving them an almond-shaped or oval shape. The free edge of the nail can protrude 3–5 millimeters. If you leave them longer, it will require extra care. If you cut your nails shorter, they look wider, and your fingers appear shorter and thicker. Pay attention to the shape of your nails, it should highlight the beauty of your fingers. If you have narrow and long fingers, then your nails should not be left too long, it is better to round them; if your fingers are thick and short, then give them an elongated oval shape. REMEMBER: no matter what kind of fingers you have, you should not make your nails sharp, they will give your hands a predatory look. Please note that The length of the nails on all fingers was approximately the same.

How to file your nails correctly. Only dry nails are filed; wet nails may begin to peel. The most main requirement– the file should match your nail type. If they are normal, then the file for them should be hard, with coarse and fine dusting. But if the nails are peeling, then even small crystals on the surface of the file spoil the smooth surface of the nail, grooves remain, and this affects its strength. Therefore, it is better to use special polished files; it is better to throw away metal files altogether: they heat up from friction, and this harms your nails. Movements should be carried out in one direction - from the tip of the nail to its hole. The file should move easily, without pressure, towards the middle, trying not to tilt the plane of the file towards the outside. You cannot file your nails with back and forth movements: this will cause your nails to split. The same thing happens if you press the file too hard. You should not file the corners of your nails deeply, as this can cause inflammation.

Polishing nails. A special device is used to polish nails - polisher. It has four working surfaces with printed numbers indicating the polishing sequence. You can use special polishing pads. Since ancient times, nails have been polished with a piece of flannel or suede, sprinkled with a mixture of equal parts of starch, talc and boric acid. But don't get carried away with polishing: from too frequent polishing the nail plate becomes thin and fragile.

A polishing file, which has a rougher surface, is used only to eliminate defects:

If the nail plate is in longitudinal and transverse grooves;

If there are stains on the nails after varnish;

If the stains appear due to the ingress of some dyes.

However, even in these cases, sanding the surface with a file should not be done frequently. The nail plate is renewed every six months, and if you polish it several times during this period of time, it will become too thin. We should not forget that damage to the integrity of the nail surface can lead to infection, so nails that have been polished must be covered with a layer of protective varnish. To enhance shine, use a special oil or gel. In addition, the oil and gel protect and nourish the nail.

Removing cuticles and hangnails. It is best to remove the cuticle without cutting or push it back to the hole using gel and a rubber or wood spatula. A special liquid is applied to the cuticle, which softens the skin around the nail and prevents further “overgrowth”. Then use a stick to gently push the skin around the nail back. Orange wood sticks are especially popular. But in the case when the nails and hands are neglected, and the cuticle is rough, it is not always possible to do without tweezers and scissors.

To remove hangnails, you need to steam your hands in a bath, to which you add an emollient: glycerin, soda or a ready-made bath product, and then, using disinfected tweezers that have triangular tips, carefully remove the hangnails, placing the tweezers almost perpendicular to the skin. Treat small cuts and wounds with any disinfectant.

Applying a protective layer. It happens that the nails are soft or too brittle. In this case, you need to use special products: protective varnish and protective oil, which contain vitamins, calcium and wax that protect the nail plate.

Nail polish remover and ideally the nail polish itself should not contain acetone. However, even in this case it is necessary to use protective agent- base for varnish. You should not neglect it, since the base for the varnish not only makes the varnish layer smooth and beautiful, but also prevents dyes and solvents from being absorbed into the nail and preserves its health. Choose a base coat for your nails depending on the problem.: for soft or brittle, flaking, wavy, cracking, thin nails– base with vitamins. In any case, the base for the varnish:

Protects the nail plate from deep penetration of the colored pigment of the varnish; smoothes the surface of the nail;

Nourishes the nail with beneficial substances;

Makes the nail stronger.

The base can be completely transparent or colored - pink, beige. As a base coat, you can use white varnish, which will give any bright color special richness. If you prefer a natural look for your nails, you can limit yourself to a clear base coat, applying it in two layers.

Applying varnish. The varnish of the selected color is applied a few minutes after the base coat. Be sure to shake the bottle before use. Then dip a brush into it. Professionals do not use brushes that are inside the bottle. They use good core or squirrel brushes

Wipe the brush on the edge of the bottle, removing excess varnish. First touch the middle of the nail with the brush and gently move it towards the edge. Without lifting the brush from the nail, move it upward to the tip with light pressure. Use the remaining varnish to carefully paint the sides of the nail. The second layer of varnish is applied in the same way.

It is better to apply colored varnish in two layers: with more layers, the nails look sloppy, and the varnish peels off faster. After applying the first coat, take a break to allow the varnish to dry.

It's in fashion french nail, then the nail is naturally shaped Pink colour, then long pointed “claws” of dark tones. Artistic manicure has never gone out of fashion for young people. You can draw a picture if you have time and desire. But there are also rules for everyone. For example, you can leave narrow strips of the nail surface in the corners unpainted if you are unhappy with the shape of your nails and think they are too wide. If you want to do it visually longer fingers, do not paint the nail hole completely.

You can apply a protective layer to the polish, which will make your manicure more durable. Special protective agents protect the varnish from cracking. In addition, they often provide additional conveniences: they help the varnish dry quickly or provide a special shine. Protective liquids can also be used as a completely independent coating, especially for thin or brittle nails.

After covering your nails with varnish and a protective agent, the nails must be given time to dry. Remedy for " quick drying" will come in handy. It can be either washable, which covers each layer of varnish, or indelible, which is applied at the end of the procedure, on top of all previous layers. In any case, it is better to allow a few minutes for each coat to dry, since a thin film of varnish, base coat or protective liquid dries much faster than a thick coating consisting of many layers.

Well-dried varnish lasts a long time, and the surface of the nail in this case looks shiny and smooth, without dents or scratches. Determining whether the next layer of varnish has completely dried is very simple: lightly tap your nails against each other. Dry coating produces a ringing, “bone” sound.

REMEMBER: nails must dry natural conditions, do not dry them with a hot hairdryer. If the air is too hot, the varnish dries unevenly, its surface may become cloudy, rough, and bubbles appear.

By the way, you can’t have your nails constantly under a layer of varnish. Although it’s also not useful to wash off the varnish at night, like cosmetics, and paint it again in the morning. But you can give your nails a break from time to time - go without varnish.

Lesson No. 3 - “How to properly do manicures for clients (edged, euro, combined)”

A professional manicure requires the attention of your eyes. We start by determining the type of cuticle, so you will understand what type of manicure your client needs.

Types of cuticles and corresponding manicure:

Normal cuticle type- very easy to remove, the skin is not over-dried, a combined manicure is ideal for this type (in the future the client can be transferred to a European manicure).

- it resembles film. has a translucent appearance, very soft, you need to be careful with it, since this type is often accompanied by close capillaries. If a client comes to you with exactly this type of cuticle, you should do the first manicure with a trimmed one, and then only a combined one, you don’t need to injure it, so it will stop growing so much over time (perhaps the first manicure with this level of neglect will be accompanied by bleeding, not You need to be scared, the longer the cuticle is neglected, the closer the capillaries grow to it).

- this type of cuticle hardly grows, but it needs to be maintained in order; with this type, the area of ​​the lateral ridges often grows the most. European manicure is ideal in this case, but if suddenly there is still a little cuticle on one of the fingers, you wash it off.

The next stage of your work is to proceed to the technology of performing a hygienic procedure - manicure, follow the instructions, each type of manicure is described step by step.

Nail structure:

Types of professional manicure, how a novice master can learn how to do it:

Trim manicure manicure technology:

During a trim manicure, the cuticle and growing skin on the rollers are removed with tools and cut off. This type of manicure is considered harmful and unhygienic due to the fact that it is performed with one tool, but as you understand, this depends only on the conscience of the master and his disinfecting methods.

Disinfection is the basis of your work - a guarantee of health for the client and you!

To do trim manicure You will use the following tools and materials:

Tools:

  1. Nail and cuticle nippers;
  2. Cuticle scissors;
  3. Pusher or orange stick;
  4. Nail buff;
  5. Dust sweeper.

Material:

  1. Disinfectors;
  2. Remover;
  3. Disposable wipes;
  4. Gloves;
  5. Mask;
  6. Bath;

  1. In the first lesson, you learned that all services begin with disinfection of hands (yours and the client’s), as well as tools in front of the client. Put on gloves after disinfection and don’t forget about the mask, but you may find it inconvenient, but believe me, this is important, protect yourself from allergies.
  2. Finish the free edge with a nail file and give it the shape the client wants. You need to use a file strictly before you soak your nails or after, but your nails should already be completely dry and hard. If you need to remove the length or trim the sides of your nails, first use nail clippers. It is important to remember that you can use nail clippers to trim your nails when they are steamed and become softer. It is not advisable to bite your nails dry, as this will lead to peeling. Remove the film of the nail that will remain on the end after filing with a buff, just grind the nail from top to bottom. Remove dust from the nails with a sweeping brush.
  3. Take a pusher or a stick, lightly push back the cuticle and apply remover (for trim manicures, using remover is not essential, but it saves a lot of time and will remove the main part soft materials, so we recommend not saving in this case, use it).
  4. Dip the client's hands, or rather fingers, into the warm bath. This type cuticles soak for 5-7 minutes (with softening gel).
  5. Remove your finger from the bath and wipe it, but not dry, it should remain moist. Push back the cuticle all the way, but don't overdo it. There is no need to press down on the pusher, as this can damage the nail and disrupt its growth. Try to guide the pusher almost parallel to the nail. Check if you removed the film well with a buff.
  6. Take the scissors and carefully, using only one smooth cut, continuously remove the cuticle. You should not throw the cuticle sheet, cut it step by step like a tailor, without interruption, otherwise you will get burrs.
  7. Using pliers, remove the skin from the side rolls. Do not let the cuticle stick to the blades; to remove it during operation, simply lower them into the bath for a couple of seconds.
  8. Apply oil to the cuticles and cream to the skin of the hands. After this, you can proceed to coating. If the systems are gel, then the oil and cream are applied after coating. Why do you need to smear your cuticles with oil?- oil helps the cuticle tighten faster and take on a beautiful, well-groomed appearance; some types have a disinfectant or affect nail growth.
  9. Tidy it up workplace and tools.

The period between trimming manicures is individual, it all depends on the client’s body, the average is from one to two weeks.

Combined manicure technology:

The name of this type of manicure speaks for itself - it is a combination of 2 typologies (European + edged). In order to learn how to make it you need to have the following tool and material:

Material:

  1. Disinfectors (for tools and hands);
  2. Cuticle remover;
  3. Cuticle oil;
  4. Hand cream;

Learning how to do a combined manicure:

  1. Your first step ALWAYS and with every service should be disinfection! Treat the client's hands and then yourself, put on gloves and a mask. Treat the instrument with a spray in front of the client (and after it in the same way, but using the device).
  2. Take a natural nail file and shape the nails (the free edge of the nail) into the shape the client requests. Sweep away any remaining dust. Don't forget to sweep away the dust with a brush.
  3. Take a tool to push back the cuticle (a pusher or an orange stick, whichever is more convenient for you). Start with right hand client, why it doesn’t matter. Lightly, carefully push back the cuticle and apply the remover. Leave it on for a few seconds.
  4. Immerse the client's hands in the bath of filler for 4 minutes. Remember, with a remover the cuticle gets wet faster, so you should not, under any circumstances, keep the visitor’s fingers in the water.
  5. Remove the client's first finger from the bath and lightly blot it with a napkin. Take an orange stick and push back the cuticle completely, using it to remove the film that was under the cuticle from the nail. After filing, a film may remain on the nails; remove it with an orange stick (just swipe along the free edge from one side to the other).
  6. Take your cuticle scissors and remove the cuticle from start to finish, you should do this in one cut.
  7. Take a pumice cuticle pencil and dip it in the bath. The pumice pencil should only touch the skin, not the nail. Be careful near the nail sinuses, a pumice pencil can seriously damage the nail plate. Remember - the pumice pencil should always be wet! Carefully treat the cuticle with it, from its center, first in one direction, then in the other. For a combined manicure, a pumice pencil serves as a polisher for the cuticle, removing its remnants and straightening the cut after scissors.

If you plan to make a coating, then under regular varnish You can apply the cream before coating, but you must first degrease your nails before applying it. If gel polish, then strictly after. Why apply hand cream?- hand cream is a compliment on your part, it will give your hands a well-groomed look, make your skin velvety, and present your work with the highest point of professionalism.
  11. Clean up your work area and disinfect your tools.

The period between combined manicures does not differ from trimming, however, if you are giving a client a manicure with the aim of converting it to European, then in no case should you wait for the cuticle to completely grow back; the client should arrive at the beginning of the euro exchange rate after 4-5 days. Warn the client that the first 4 times European manicure will need to be done with a short break, but each time the cuticle will slow down its growth and he will not have to come to you so often.

Euro manicure technology:
