SHAPES OF
NAILS
Nails are classified into four
general shapes: square, oval,
pointed, and round. In shaping
the nails, always consult your
patron on what shapes he/she
desires but give consideration to
the type of nails he/she has. For
a short finger, a long oval shape
is best recommended while a
long tapering finger requires a
short curved nail. Typists and
pianist require short rounded
nails to prevent nail breakages.

USE OF NAIL CARE TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
A beautician can give a perfect nail treatment to
her client if she knows how to use the tools and
equipment correctly.
Proper Way of Handling the Nail Care
Tools:
1. Cuticle Nipper- hold the cuticle nipper by the
handle. To cut the nails, open the nipper on one side
of the nail, with one of the blades under the nail and
one above. Open the blades on the cuticle youd like
to trim. Place the thumb on the sides of the handle
and the remaining (side of) fingers over the opposite
handle. Do not insert the nail too deeply between the
pairs of the nippers, so as not injure the fingers.
2. Cuticle Nail Pusher- It is held the same as in
writing pencil. Use the dull blade to push back and
loosen the cuticle. Soften the cuticle with cuticle
softener or soak the hands in warm soapy water.
Start at the middle of the nail and more downwards
toward the hands, push down and slide the excess
cuticle and trim. Dont push too hard to avoid
irritating the nail skin.
3. Nail Cutter- Hold the clipper with cutting edges
downward with forefinger and thumb. Steady your
hand and cut the nails. Do not take the hand away
until no skin is stuck in the jaws of the cuticle clipper.
4. Nail File- It is used to gently grind down and shape
the edges of the nail. Hold the file firmly in the right
hand with the thumb underneath for support and
place the fingers on top surface. Avoid filling back
and forth to prevent tearing the nails. Do not file
deep into the corners of the nail, to prevent ingrown
nails.
5. Emery Board- It is used just like nail file. When
filing, work in a single direction. Bend the rough
surface of the nail using the fine side of the emery
board. File from the edge or corners towards the
center. Discard emery board after each use.
6. Orangewood stick- It is held as you do a pen. Apply
solvent and wrap with a small strap of cotton around
the end portion of the orangewood stick and work
around the base of the nail. Clean under the free
edge of the nail and sides. Refrain from pushing too
hard so that the root of the nail will not be injured.
7. Nail Brush-insert the ring finger and hold the nail
brush in your hand and place the bristle under each
fingernail. Move the brush from side to side of the
corner the whole nail.
8. Nail Buffer- Put the thumb and ring finger under the
handle while the middle finger is placed on top of the
buffer. Put small amount of powder of the buffer and
buff the nails with downward strokes from the base of
the nail to the free edge of each nail. Buff the nails
until smooth and clear.
HAND AND FOOT SPA
1. Foot File- It is designed to be used on the feet for the
gentle and safe removal of dry skin, corns, and calluses.
Start using the coarse side for the removal of damaged
skin while the reverse side can be used for buffing.
2. Callus Remover- Callus is a thick layer of hard dead
skin that forms either on the hands or feet. Apply light
pressure with steady hand on the callus remover and
gently guide over the callus.
3. Pumice Stone- Soak the feet in warm soapy water
and take the stone in one hand and take it lightly with
back and forth motion across rough patches, corns, and
calluses of the feet.
4. Hand and Foot Spa Machine- Set the machine to
the right temperature. Be sure to check the electrical
wiring to prevent scalding.
