What is a Manicure?
A manicure is a beauty treatment which uses special tools, creams, waxes and / or massage techniques to leave your nails and hands healthy and looking good.
What is a manicure good for?
A manicure is good for improving the texture and health of both your fingernails and the skin of your hands, as well as leaving them looking polished and perfect.
Apart from making sure your hands and nails look and feel good, a manicure often has the side-effect of relaxing you; there are pressure points on your hands that correspond to other areas of your body. If you have an injury to your hand - a wound, or joint or muscle strain, or a rash or broken skin -- you are well advised to wait until you recover before you have a manicure, or else make your manicurist very aware of your limitations.
What to expect from a manicure:
clean, shape, strengthen, paint and decorate your nails
attend to any skin problems you might have around the nail, such as broken or sore skin
use acupressure or hand-massage techniques to stimulate the blood and lymph flow to improve the health of your skin
use oils, creams and waxes to exfoliate, cleanse and improve the texture of your nails and the skin of your hands.
What is a Pedicure?
A pedicure is a therapeutic treatment for your feet that removes dead skin, softens hard skin and shapes and treats your toenails. Think of it as a manicure for the feet! A good foot treatment is heaven, but pedicure techniques can vary from type of polish to massage so it’s important to find the right pedicure for you.
What is a pedicure good for?
Pedicures are a great way to ensure you look after your feet!
A regular pedicure can support chiropody if you suffer from foot problems, such as: corns, calluses, and cracked soles. This may prevent you from needing further treatment.
A pedicure can also help your posture -- you naturally walk more comfortably on cared-for feet.
Pedicures can also soothe and relax you when combined with other treatments. Once your pedicurist has massaged several softening and soothing creams into your feet, you may feel you are walking on air!
