Learning Activity Sheet #6

Learning Competency: LO 1.3 Observe safety procedure of using tools


and equipment.

Code: TLE_HEBC7/8UT-0a-b-1
Content: Nail Care Tools, Materials and Equipment

Background Information for Learners:


Nail care, the maintenance of the fingernails and toenails, is important for health as well
as cosmetic reasons. Good nail care can prevent fungus infections of the nail, painful
ingrown fingernails and toenails, and infections of the skin in the hands and feet.

Discussion/Readings:
Nail Care, once considered as a luxury for the few or as a mark of distinction between the
rich and the poor, is now within the reach of the general public. In fact, part of a person’s grooming
and a form of inexpensive relaxation is a regular nail care activity – be it manicure, pedicure, hand
spa or foot spa.

The following observation shows the safety procedures and proper way of using,
holding and handling some nail care tools or implements and equipment in Manicure and
Pedicure

MANICURE AND PEDICURE


1. Nail File - Hold the file firmly in the right or left hand (as the case may be), with the thumb
underneath it for support and the other four fingers on its upper surface. Place the file slightly
under the free edge and file the nail from corner to center, shaping the nail. Never file back and
forth; this would cause the nails to crack and split. Do not file deep into the corners; this weakens
the nails, hurt the skin and cause ingrown nails.

2. Emery Board - It is held in the same manner as the nail file. Bevel the rough surface of the nail
using the fine side to smoothen it. Emery boards are discarded after use on one person.

3. Orangewood Stick - It is held in the same manner as in writing with a pencil. To loosen cuticle,
work around nail; for applying oil or solvent, slightly dip the cotton-tipped orangewood stick and
work around the base of the nail; to clean under the free edge of the nail, from the center toward
each side, with gentle pressure so that live tissue at the root of the nail will not be injured.

4. Cuticle NailPusher - It is held in the same manner as in writing with a pencil. The dull spade side
is used to push back and loosen the cuticles. Keep cuticle moist using cuticle remover while
working. Use the cuticle pusher in a flat position to remove dead cuticle adhering to the nail
without scratching the nail plate. In using the pusher, avoid too much pressure to prevent injury on
tissues.

BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES 7/8

5. Cuticle Nipper - Pick up the cuticle nipper by the handles and turn the cutting edges towards
you; place the bent tip of the index finger over the top of the shank. Place the thumb on the side of
the handle and the remaining fingers over the opposite handle. Use it with utmost care to remove
dead cuticle and hangnails so as not to injure live tissue

6. Nail Cutter - Hold clippers with cutting edges downward between thumb, index and middle
finger. Press clipper handles by squeezing them together and remove excess nail length.

7. Nail Brush - Insert the ring finger and pinky in the nail brush handle and brush the nails with a
downward motion from the base to the fingertips to clean the nails and fingers.

Department of Education
Region VI – Western Visayas
Technology and Livelihood Education
BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES 7/8

8. Nail Buffer - Place the thumb and the ring finger under the handle of the buffer while the Index and
the middle fingers are on its top and the pinky is on its side. Apply a small amount of powder over the
buffer then buff the nails with downward strokes from the base to the free edge of each nail until a
smooth clear gloss has been obtained. Buffing helps in giving the nail natural gloss and increases blood
circulation to the finger tips. To prevent heating and burning sensation, lift the buffer from the nail after
each stroke.

and equipment.

Code: TLE_HEBC7/8UT-0a-b-1
Content: Nail Care Tools, Materials and Equipment

Background Information for Learners:

Nail care, the maintenance of the fingernails and toenails, is important for health as well as
cosmetic reasons. Good nail care can prevent fungus infections of the nail, painful ingrown fingernails
and toenails, and infections of the skin in the hands and feet. Nail Care, once considered as a luxury for
the few or as a mark of distinction between the rich and the poor, is now within the reach of the general
public. In fact, part of a person’s grooming and a form of inexpensive relaxation is a regular nail care
activity – be it manicure, pedicure, hand spa or foot spa.

Discussion/Readings:

Hand spa and foot spa is a treatment performed by professionally trained staff. This treatment
is done to replenish, restore and rejuvenate naturally tired hands. Knowing that a hand spa and foot spa
makes your skin and nails look fantastic. A professional hand spa treatment includes a thorough cleaning
and lotions designed to exfoliate your skin. Any grime will be removed, as well as dead skin cells,
keeping your hands smooth and reducing any appearance of wrinkles. Now what is the benefits of hand
spa and foot spa?

There 10 most common benefits of a Spa and its treatments:

1.) Helps to de-stress. It goes without saying that visiting a spa is a fantastic way to relax and de-
stress.
2.) Helps with anti-ageing.
3.) Promotes a better sleep.
4.) Relieves aches and pains
5.) Supports weight loss.
6.) Improved blood flow and circulation.
7.) Preventing varicose veins.
8.) Increased happiness.
9.) Reduced frequency of headaches.
10.) Promotes radiant skin.

The following observation shows the safety procedures and proper way of using, holding and
handling some nail care tools or implements and equipment in Hand and Foot Spa

HAND AND FOOT SPA

1. Foot File - Start with the course side of the foot file. Gently slide it back and forth across the ball of
your foot and the bottom the toes. Still with the rough side of the file work mostly on the

outside rim of the heel. Flip the file over and repeat the process with each foot. The fine
side will smoothen the skin and leave it feeling polished.

2. Callous Remover - Insert the blade into the callous remover with care. Lay the callous remover on the
top thick part of the callous. Do not lay the blade above the area that is going to be cut, as
this may result in cutting the soft part of the foot, resulting to open wound. Applying light
pressure with a steady hand on the callous remover, gently glide it over the callous. Repeat
the process if necessary until the callous is thinner. Smoothen the callous with a foot file.

3. Pumice Stone - After soaking the feet in warm soapy water, use the pumice stone to gently buff away
cracked or dry skin of the feet with a soft, circular motion. Never apply heavy pressure to
the pumice for this can cause sores, open wounds and possible infection.

This is a piece of porous volcanic rock or a similar substance used as an abrasive, especially for removing
hard or callused skin.

4. Hand and Foot Spa Machine - Make sure that electrical wirings are dry and protected from accidental
water spillage. Set the machine to the temperature that the client can withstand.

Learning Activity Sheet #8

CHECK CONDITION OF NAIL CARE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT


It is important to assemble, sanitize and sterilize all the necessary items before starting any nail
care activity. Sanitation is the application of measures to promote public health and prevent the spread
of infectious diseases. The observance of safety rules in the salon industry can be of great help in
preventing accidents and injury to anyone in the salon.

What it means by Sterilization? What is Sanitation?


 Sterilization is the process of destroying all living
micro-organisms.
 Sanitization is the process of destroying some,
but not all micro-organisms.

NOTE: Sterilization and sanitization techniques


which are being practiced in the beauty salon
involve the use of physical agents like heat and
radiation; and chemical agents like antiseptics
and vapor fumigants.

What is the difference between disinfectant and antiseptic?

 A disinfectant is a substance
Antiseptic
Disinfectant used to control micro-organisms
on non-living surfaces such as
tools, equipment, and furniture/
fixtures.
 An antiseptic is an agent that
prevents the multiplication of
micro-organisms. Since it is
milder than a disinfectant, it can
be used directly on the skin.

NAIL DISEASES
Nail diseases are conditions of both the nail, and the surrounding skin which result from
bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Some conditions will show a green, yellow or black discoloration of
the nail, depending on the nature of the infection. The main course for infection is through damaged
cuticles and broken skin.

Given below is a list of the few important nail diseases and their characteristics.
Nail Diseases Characteristics
1. Onychomycosis It is an infectious disease caused by a vegetable
parasite. The onset of the disease takes about two to
three months and the attack is rarely on more than
one or two nails. The appearance of the nail is frayed
(worn out), brittle with furrowed surface,
opaque,grayish, or yellowish in colorand is lifted-up by
an accumulation of epidermis underneath.
2. Onychia Is a term applicable to chronic inflammation of the nail
fold and nail bed (matrix). It results from the
introduction of microscopic pathogen through small
wounds.

3. Onychocryptosis It is referred to ingrown nails which affect the fingers


and toenails. It is marked by nail growth into
surrounding tissues and may cause infection. Incorrect
trimming a shaping of nails are often responsible for
ingrown nails.

4. Onychoptosis It is the periodic shedding of one or more nails, either


in the whole or in part. This condition maybe a
symptom of a more alarm disease such as syphilis or
can result from fever, trauma systematic upset or
adverse reaction to drug
5. Onycholysis It refers to the detachment of the nail from the nail
bed, starting at its distal and/or lateral attachment.
The most common cause of onycholysis is psoriasis

6. Onychogryphosis It pertains to extreme thickening curvature of the

Learning Competency: Identify Nail Structure and Shapes


Code: TLE_HEBC7/8MT-Oj-6
Content: Structures of Nail (Nail Disorder)

NAIL DISORDERS

Nail disorder is a condition caused by injury to the nail or disease or imbalance in the body.
Many disorders can affect the nails. These disorders can affect any portion of the nail unit and can
impact
the appearance of the nail plate itself.

Given below is a list of the few important nail disorders and their characteristics.

Nail Disorders Characteristics


1. Blue nails It is bluish in color, may be attributed
to poor blood circulation or heart
disorder.

2. Brittle nails It is a vertical splitting or separation


of the nail plate layers at the distal
(free) edge of the nail plate. Over
exposure to detergent soap and other
chemical solvents may attribute to the
effect.

3. Bruised nails It shows dark purplish (almost


black or brown) spots in the nail.
This is usually due to injury and
bleeding of the nail bed. As the nail
grows, dried blood in the nail bed will
also go out

4. Eggshell nails The nail plate separates from the nailbed


and curves at the free edge. It may
be caused by chronic illness of the
systemic or nervous origin.

BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES 7/8

5. Furrows These are long ridges that run either


lengthwise or across the nail. Some
lengthwise ridges are normal in adults.
These ridges increase with age and can
also be caused by psoriasis, poor
circulation and frostbite.
Ridges that run across the nail are
caused by high fevers, pregnancy & measles.

6. Hangnails It is a condition in which the cuticle


splits around the nail. Carelessness in
removing the cuticle, dryness, cutting
off too much may result in hangnails. It
may cause infection if not treated.

7. Leconychia or White spot appears frequently in the


white spot nails. They may be caused by injury to
the base of the nail. As the nail
continues to grow, these white spots
eventually disappear

8. Pterygium It is an overgrowth of cuticle which


sticks to the surfaces of nail plate.
Carefully remove the adhering growth
by means of a cuticle nipper.

9. Onychatrophia It is describe as wasting away of the


nail . The nail loses its luster, shrinks
and falls This can be caused by injury
to the nail matrix or by internal disease.

10. Onychauxis It is an overgrowth of the nail usually in


or hypertrophy thickness rather than length. It is
caused by an internal imbalance, such
as local infection or heredity.

11. Onychophagy It is a deformity of nail plate caused by


or bitten nail biting nails. It is an acquired nervous
habit which prompts the individual to
chew the nail or the hardened cuticle.

12. Onychorrhexis It refers to split or brittle nails caused


or split or brittle nails by an injury to the finger, careless filing
of the nails, excessive use of cuticle
solvents and nail polish removers. The
nails may be extremely dry because of some granular
disorder.

1.2 Perform nail trimmings to varied shapes
Code: TLE_HEBC7/8MT-0j-6
Content: 1.2 Perform Nail Trimmings to Varied Shapes

1. Round Shape

This is probably the easiest shape to maintain. If you want something low maintenance but still
want your nails to look good, this is probably the shape for you. This is also very easy to do.

What You’ll Need to Shape Your Round Nails:


Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region VI – Western Visayas
Technology and Livelihood Education
BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES 7/8

 Nail clippers
 Nail filer

Step 1: Clip the Edges -to create this nail shape, it’s better to make it from square nails. If you
have long nails, just clip your nails into a somewhat square shape.

Step 2: File Away


Once you’ve clipped the edges of the nail, start filing it into the shape you want. Start at
the side of the nail and file it towards the center of the nail. Make sure to stay in one direction
only. When you start seeing the rounded edge of the nail, move on to the other side.

Step 3: Shape Into Round Nails


Unlike the almond shape where you had to keep the tip pointed, round nails have to be
shorter. This should look somewhat similar to oval-shaped nails but with a more blunt top.  File
the nails into just the right round shape that you want. It also helps to moisturize your hands and
nails. You can even use household items to create your very own cuticle oil.

2. Almond Shaped Nails
This one is much like the oval shape, except
that it’s a little more pointed at the top. It is wide at
the base and slender along the sides. Come to think
of it, it takes the appearance of an actual almond. To
achieve this, find the center spot at the tip of the nail
and shape both sides so that it makes a peak at the
center point. Then, smoothen it out, so that there
aren’t any sharp edges.
Best Suited For: Short fingers.

3. Oval Shaped Nails

This is considered to be a more traditional


shape. It was extremely popular in the late 1900s and
early 2000s. This nail shape gives your nails a very
elegant appearance. To achieve this nail shape, file
around the sides in order to get an egg-like shape. It
is great for those with short fingers as it makes the
fingers look longer.
Best Suited For: Short fingers.

4. Square Shaped Nails
These nails are squarely shaped at the tips.
This is probably one of the most popular nail shapes.
It’s a good choice as far as nail shapes go as the risk
of it breaking is less since it follows the natural width
of your nails. To get these nails, trim them, and using
a nail filer, shape them straight across. Clean up the
edges in case of any roughness.
Best Suited For: Long fingers with wide nail beds.

5. Squoval Shaped Nails
A variation of the square and oval, the
squoval or the soft square, is another popular choice
in the world of nail shapes. While it is easier to
manage because of its rounded edges, the classiness
of the square shape still remains as is. For these
nails, shape your nails in an oval as you normally
would, and then shape it across the tip to square it
out a little.
Best Suited For: Any type of fingers.

6. Stiletto Shaped Nails
You need some guts to pull this one off. It’s
not very common, but celebrities like Rihanna go for
this look all the time. This nail shape gives your nails
the appearance of being long and slender. Same as
in the case of almond nails, find a center point and
start filing from each side to meet the point. This nail
shape may cause the nails to break off easily so it’s
best to use acrylic or gel nails for this one.
Best Suited For: All types of fingers.

7. Ballerina Shaped Nails
This is a more subtle version of the stiletto
nail shape. It follows the same shaping technique.
Find a center point and file the nails along the sides
to that point. After that, square out the tips. Doesn’t it
look like a like a ballerina slipper? This one is a good
choice if you want to go for something bold, but still
keep it comfortable. Due to how long the nails have to
be for this type of nail shape, it is recommended that
you use acrylic or gel nails.
Best Suited For: All types of fingers.
