Manicure & Pedicure

Instructions for machine-made pedicuring:

Only skilled pedicurist can work with machines!

Only special machines made for this purpose and the adherent burr-drills (e.g. millers, rakers) as well as polishers of different degrees of fineness can be used. It is not required to apply paper polishers for machines used in water as they make the machines clog up. Pay attention not to apply burr-drill head that is thicker than 6 mm as these will not fit in the machine.

Basic machine, manual piece which contains burrs and an engine. They are connected by a cable. It contains two pipes, one of which is filled up with air, the other with disinfectant liquid.

Types of burr-drills:
 
Burrs:
Steel burrs with very deep grooves, these are the roughest ones. They are suggested to apply on very funguous nails.

Rakers: these are less deeply grooved (are grooved longitudinally), can be used for polishing rough nails and are suitable for removing yellowness, too.

We should always grip the manual piece with 3 fingers, with pencil holding. We put our middle finger under it and support it with our ring-finger. It is very important to hold it safely as we can cause injury. The guest should always be informed about what we are going to do and how it will be felt so that he/she does not jerk his/her leg away.

The machine can be used, not only for nail care, but also for skin care. It is suitable for treating pinch calluses as well as cracked heels. We should work with conical and rounded burr-drills depending on how deep they are found. If the callus on the foot is too thick we should remove it manually then smooth the surface with the machine.
