A manicure can treat just the hands, just the nails, or both. A standard manicure usually includes filing and shaping of the nails and the application of polish. Some specialty manicures, such as the French Manicure, may also be offered. Treatments for hands usually include soaking in a softening substance and application of hand lotion. A similar treatment performed on the feet is called a pedicure. The word \"manicure\" comes from the Latin manus, meaning \"hand,\" and cura meaning \"care\".  \nVarious services for nails can be provided-for example as the application of artificial nails such as nail tips, acrylics and artificial nail gels. A manicurist can also apply treatments to real nails, such as filing, polishing, and painting. Fancier manicures include painting pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels.  \nIn many areas, manicurists are regulated and must be licensed. Because the skin is being handled and sometimes trimmed, and because there is a risk of infection when tools are used on multiple people, proper sanitation is critically important.  \nA pedicure is a way to improve the appearance of the feet and their nails. It basically is a manicure for the feet. The word pedicure comes form the Latin words pes, which means foot,  \nand cura, which means care. It also means the care of the feet and toenails. A pedicure can be helpful because it can prevent nail diseases and nail disorders.  \nThe history of pedicures dates back to ancient Egypt. A carving of a pharaoh's official was noted as representing pedicures and manicures.  \nGeneral Manicure/Pedicure Knowledge:  \nTools  \nTowels  \nCotton balls  \nToenail clippers  \nLotion  \nCuticle cream  \nCuticle pusher  \nOrangewood sticks  \nAcetone  \nAntibacterial soap  \nFoot bath  \nWhite block buffer  \nThings You Need To Know  \nStructure of the nail  \nComposition of cosmetics used in a pedicure  \nGive effective pedicure  \nCare for clients' problems or concerns  \nDistinguishing between nail disorders that can or can't be treated  \nSanitation and disinfectant procedures  \nThe difference between nail diseases and nail disorders  \nNail Cosmetics  \nBase coat  \nCuticle creams  \nCuticle oil  \nCuticle remover  \nDry nail polish  \nLiquid nail polish  \nNail bleach  \nNail conditioner  \nNail dryer  \nPolish thinner  \nPolish remover  \nParts  \nFiling  \nCuticle nipping-clipping excess cuticle around nail.  \nCleansing the nails-wash nails in finger bath with warm, soapy water.  \nBuffing-shaping of the nails.  \nPolishing the nails  \nAnatomy:  \nFingernails and toenails, which are made of protein and are a form of modified hair, are composed of:  \n• The nail matrix or the root of the nail-this is the growing part of the nail still under the skin at the nail's proximal end.  \n• The eponychium or cuticle, which is the fold of skin at the proximal end of the nail.  \n• The paronychium, which is the fold of skin on the sides of the nail.  \n• The hyponychium, which is the attachment between the skin of the finger or toe and the  \ndistal end of the nail.  \n• The nail plate, which is what we think of when we say nail- the hard and translucent portion, composed of keratin.  \n• The nail bed, which is the adherent connective tissue that underlies the nail.  \n• The lunula, which is the crescent shaped whitish area of the nail bed.  \nNails grow at an average rate of 0.1 mm/day (1 cm every 100 days) . Fingernails require 3 to 6 months to regrow completely. Toenails require 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is  \ndependent upon age, season, exercise level, and hereditary factors.  \nThis growth record can show the history of recent health and physiological imbalances, and has been used as a diagnostic tool since ancient times. Major illness will cause a deep horizontal groove to form in the nails.  \nDiscoloration, thinning, thickening, brittleness, splitting, grooves","cbCaisLqaSH76hyT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisLqaSH76hyT","pdf",305709,17,"English","# Manicure and Pedicure Basics\n## Definitions and common treatments\n## Tools and essential knowledge\n## Nail cosmetics and parts\n## Nail anatomy and growth\n## Health indicators and sanitation warnings","[{\"question\":\"What are the main steps in a standard manicure?\",\"answer\":\"A standard manicure typically includes filing and shaping the nails, applying polish, and caring for the hands, often with soaking and hand lotion.\"},{\"question\":\"How is a pedicure similar to a manicure?\",\"answer\":\"A pedicure is essentially a manicure performed on the feet, focused on improving the appearance of toenails and supporting foot care.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is sanitation critically important in nail services?\",\"answer\":\"Because skin is handled and sometimes trimmed, and because tools may be used across multiple people, poor sanitation can lead to infection and spread of pathogens.\"}]","Manicure and Pedicure Basics | PDF",1790645087,43]
