Read the Information Sheet 2.1 very well and then find out how much you can remember and how much you have learned by doing Self-check 2.1. Information Sheet 2.1 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 shows the proper way of holding and handling some nail care tools or implements and equipment. MANICURE AND PEDICURE 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, hurts, the skin, and causes ingrown nails. 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. BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education 28 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. Cuticle Nail Pusher 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. 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 Nail Cutter Hold the clippers with cutting edges downward between thumb, index and middle finger. Press clipper handles by squeezing them together and remove excess nail length. 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. BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education 29 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. HAND AND FOOT SPA 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. 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 in an 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. 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.

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. BEAUTY CARE (NAIL CARE) SERVICES K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education 39  Sterilization vs Sanitization Sterilization is the process of destroying all living micro-organisms. Sanitization is the process of destroying some, not all microorganisms. Sterilization and sanitization techniques applied in the beauty salon involve the use of physical agents like heat and radiation; and chemical agents like antiseptics and vapor fumigants. disinfectant vs antiseptic A disinfectant is a substance 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 microorganisms. Since it is milder than a disinfectant, it can be used directly on the skin. Preparation of Equipment to be Sanitized a. Read directions on disinfectant. b. Measure and mix the disinfectant as directed. c. Saturate a cleaning cloth with disinfectant solution and wipe entire surface area of equipment. d. Wipe the surface dry with paper towel to dry it. e. Dispose of sanitizing solution and used towels. Preparation of Metals Implements for Sterilization a. Soak the tools/ implements in hot, soapy water solution to remove any debris and oil residue. Rinse them thoroughly. b. Place the tools/implements in a 70% to 90% alcohol solution for 20 minutes. c. Remove the tools/implements from solution, wipe them dry, and place them into a dry sterilizer. Preparation of the Sanitizing Jar a. Cleanse the sanitizing jar with disinfectant and wipe it dry. b. Place thin layer of sterile cotton at the bottom of jar. c. Remove implements from wet or dry sanitizer and place them into the jar, handles up, except for metal nail files. d. Fill the jar with 70% to 90% alcohol solution to cover cutting edges and tips of orangewood sticks. Keep in mind that all tools/implements and equipment should not be used unless effectively sanitized or sterilized so as to prevent potential diseases. Ensure that all materials are neatly organized on the trolley. All beauticians should maintain a high standard of personal hygiene. Wherever possible, use disposable products. Ensure the client’s safety and comfort by using tools and equipment which are in good condition and that he/she is provided with the appropriate personal protective clothing. Your goal is to give the highest professional nail care service to each client. As such, tools and equipment must be thoroughly checked to identify those which function efficiently and those which do not.

Information Sheet 2.1 Keeping Tools and Equipment Safe, Clean and Functional It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, disinfect hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces before and after each use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly, painful, and sometimes, fatal. There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization. Do a cursory cleaning after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep tools safe and useful all the time. 1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes. 2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1:10 solution by mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a detergent to remove any dirt or debris. 3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-contamination with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the tools and allow them to dry. 4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before storing them. In case there is an interval of at least two weeks before the next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use. 5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair, replacement, or condemnation. Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe 1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good sanitary condition. 2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies and or similar insects. 3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and cold water. 4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept clean.
