Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the study of how equipment and furniture can be arranged in order that
people can do work or other activities more efficiently and comfortably. It is important in
the adaptation of work conditions to the physical and psychological nature of people.
Below are pictures showing how ergonomics can help reduce strain to your bodies on
the proper posture during manicure and pedicure services.
A nail technician should consider the three main factors in nail servicing:
1. Supporting the weight of the client's arm or leg
2. Working while looking down at the hand or foot of the client
3. Looking forward at the hand or foot of the client
5
Correct position of client's leg
Elevate the client's feet and place them on a footrest that bears his or her weight.
During the massage portion of a service, the footrests can bear the majority of the
weight so you as a nail technician can limit the pressure on your back, shoulders, and
neck.
Incorrect position of client's foot:
Do not bear the weight of a client’s leg by resting the foot in your lap or by using
your own strength to lift and lower the leg. This position will cause strains in the muscles
in your shoulders and back. It also reduces your mobility to be agile as you work
through the different steps of the service.

Trim your nails Trimming of nail plays a very vital role. It is very easy task but
sometime it causes little problems such as unwanted abrasions and ingrown
nails, when done not properly Apply the following steps while cutting nails.
Step 01: Prepare the types of instruments for this task. Nail cutter, who has small
or medium slightly curved blades, which are suitable for trimming the finger nails.
Nail cutters with straight blades are suitable for use. Step
02: Before using your nail cutter, make sure that it is clean. Wash your nail cutter
to remove dust and germs, specially when you are sharing your nail cutter with
someone else. Dry thoroughly after washing it.
Step 03: Wash your hands. Wipe dry with any towel or tissue paper to remove
extra water. This process cleans your fingernails, and beside cleaning fingernails
it also helps in softening your nails and easier to cut them
Step 04: You must cut your nails in a place where you can clearly see what you
are doing. Put a small container near you in which you can collect the nails.
Step 05: Decide the shape of your nails. Decide which shape you actually want.
After deciding, lift the nail cutter and start cutting your nails.
Step 06: Start cutting your nails starting from your little finger,
Step 07 Click on the nail cutter that can cut through the nail. You can make at
least two or three cuts of a finger nail until everything is snug. Follow the curve of
the nail to get a clean cut. Check skin flaps after each cut and remove carefully.
Step 08: Sit comfortably and crouch your knee side to easily reach up and see the
nails clearly. Be sure not to set up deep razor to prevent scratches. Adjust the
position of razor if you feel any discomfort.
Step 09: After cutting your nails, use a nail file to smooth any rough and odd
surface of newly trimmed nails. When you file, do it in on tilt – from the corner of
the nail to go down.
Step 10: Apply some moisturizer on your hands to keep the cuticles moisturized
and smooth.

Foot spa
One of the many ways you can keep your feet healthy and happy is a foot spa. More
than just beautifying the feet, a foot spa gives the following benefits:
▪ Promotes blood circulation. A foot spa improves blood circulation, aside

from energizing and relaxing the body.
▪ Relieves stress. Soaking feet in warm water and massaging feet eases
tension and the stresses of the day.

▪ Eases arthritic pain. Just putting your feet up already results in some relief.
Imagine how much more relief a foot spa can bring, especially to muscles and
joints suffering from arthritis.
▪ Reduces headaches. Many nerve joints are located on the underside of the
feet. Massaging these points during a foot spa helps in treating headaches
and migraines.
▪ Helps detoxify the body. Soaking the feet, especially in a foot bath with
Epsom salts, helps release toxic metals in the body while helping to absorb
magnesium and sulphates which bring many benefits to your health.

it will burn or scald your feet.

not have a foot wash, body wash or shampoo will do. Stir, making sure that
everything is well mixed.

your nails to the desired length and file them to get the shape you want.
7. Using a foot file or a pumice stone, gently exfoliate your feet, concentrating on
the heel and its sides.
8. Apply a foot scrub and gently work it into your toes, the undersides of your
feet, the heels and the ankles for added exfoliation. (If you do not have foot
scrub, you can use a mixture of brown sugar and coconut or olive oil.) For
some added pleasure, gently massage your feet, especially those aching
parts.
9. Rinse the scrub off your feet and pat your feet dry.
10. Moisturize your feet with your preferred lotion or cream, working the lotion on
your feet while massaging gently.
