The perfect pedicure step by step

The spring–summer season is quietly knocking on the doors of beauty salons, especially those specialising in nail styling. Clients are keener to take care of themselves and book more comprehensive services. However, one of the most sought-after services among women in summer is the pedicure. Beautiful feet matter — especially in summer, when we often bare them and show them off in open shoes.

But a good pedicure isn't just beautifully painted nails. Taking care of the skin on the feet and around the nails is just as important. An e-file pedicure works best here. It is extremely fast, convenient and, above all, very effective.

What does an e-file pedicure look like step by step?

  1. Disinfection and consultation – the feet are disinfected with an antibacterial product, and the technician assesses the condition of the skin, nails and any calluses or corns.
  2. Shortening and filing the nails – a drill or nippers give the nails the right shape and length.
  3. Removing the cuticles – a gentle bit removes the cuticle around the nail plate, without soaking and without the risk of nicks.
  4. Working on calloused skin and corns – bits of various grits sand down the hard, calloused skin on the heels and soles, smoothing the foot.
    Buffing the nail plate – a bit polishes the nail surface, preparing it for hybrid or traditional polish.
  5. Moisturising and foot massage – finally the feet are moisturised with a lotion or cream, which additionally regenerates them.
  6. Applying polish – the styling ends by painting the nails in the chosen hybrid or classic polish colour.
