Some question about pedicure Cincinnati may arise from both those who do it after every few weeks and even those who have not yet tried it. Reasons are there to support the importance of a pedicure. Some of these reasons are, for healthy feet, relaxation, pampering, beauty etc. Caring for your feet is very important because you use them everywhere you go.

This practice should be done regularly because it removes calluses and dead skin. It also helps prevent nail disorder and diseases including ingrown nails and longitudinal nail ridging. On top of it salons are low also giving a foot massage known as reflexology that has been found to have the capability to relieve pain.

There are a number of pedicures you can request for at the salon or give yourself. There is the standard kind that starts with a warm foot bath as the first step. The second step involves the removal of dead skin from your feet. After the cuticles are softened by the bath, they are pushed back away from the toenail using either an orangewood stick or a Q-tip. The next step involves trimming the toenails followed by massaging the feet with moisturizing lotion and applying polish on the toenails is the final step.

Then there are paraffin pedicures that follow every step as the standard and additionally there is a paraffin wax dip. The reason the wax is massaged into the toes, lower legs and feet is to hydrate the skin. The wax is oil based with pain alleviating properties. Then there are French pedicures which are essentially add ons to the standard where a white polish is applied on the nail ends and the rest is applied sheer polish.

As the name suggests the gel pedicures are done using a gel that prevents chipping of polish as well as extending the pedicure life. Pedicures also involve a new technique where little fish are used and let to nibble at your feet. Ticklish people may wonder how they are going to indulge in these pedicures.

However, fish pedicures are not as scary as people may think, this is because these little fish do not have the teeth to chew off healthy skin. The garra rufa or doctor fish can only be able to eat the calluses and dead skin. This may give you a tingling sensation as the garra rufa feed and clean off your feet. They eat the dead skin with such incredible hunger that they literally give you a thorough foot scrubbing.

Choosing between nail trimming and filing depends on the clients preferences but most technicians do both. Those that have taken a long time since they had a pedicure done a trim will be in order. Toenails should be trimmed in a certain way for instance straight across and in a square shape and not in a curve or too short to prevent what is known as ingrown nails. However, the length of the nail left should not be too long a few millimeters should be a good nail length.

Use a Q-tip or cotton balls with polish remover to remove old polish from the nails. A base coat should be applied on the on the nail first to protect it from the polish chemicals. When applying polish toes can be separated using toe separators or even cotton balls. When doing your pedicure Cincinnati let the coat dry completely before you can apply another one on top of it.
