Mani and Pedi
Mani and Pedi are the common names for manicure and pedicure. Both mani and pedi are cosmetic beauty treatments for your hands and feet. The term “mani-pedi” is often used to refer to both services together. Manicure and pedicure treatments are performed in salons, spas, hotels and resorts throughout the world.
Manicures and pedicures can be performed as a simple cleaning procedure or as a more elaborate beautification process that includes exfoliation, moisturizing, clipping, buffing, painting of nails and cuticle care. There’s no right or wrong way to get either a manicure or pedicure. Experts do recommend regular care of your hands and feet to keep them healthy looking.
Manicures can be done by men or women, but few men choose to get pedicures because it involves foot care that many men consider feminine. Mani-pedis are usually done by women, although men will sometimes treat themselves to a manicure with a foot massage without having their toe nails painted.
The word manicure comes from the Latin words manus, for “hand,” and cura, for “care.” The manicure was invented in Babylonia around 5,000 BC. A manicure is the cosmetic treatment of fingernails to improve their appearance.
A pedicure is a way to improve the look of the feet and nails. It cleans and softens the skin and helps nails grow strong and healthy. Pedicures are especially helpful during the winter months when our feet tend to become dry and rough.
Manicures and pedicures can also be therapeutic. Both help stimulate blood circulation in your hands and feet which can help relax you while also softening your skin.
In our salon, we offer both manicures and pedicures. A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed at home or in a nail salon. A manicure consists of filing and shaping the free edge, pushing back and clipping (with a cuticle pusher and cuticle nippers) any nonliving tissue (limited to cuticle and hangnails), treatments with various liquids, massage of the hand, and the application of fingernail polish. A manicure may also treat the hands with an exfoliant scrub, a moisturizing mask, paraffin wax treatments, or glycolic acid peels.
A pedicure is similar to a manicure but focuses on the feet. Pedicures are done for cosmetic purposes such as improving the appearance of toes and feet as well as relaxing benefits such as relieving stress and fatigue in the lower part of the body through massage techniques.
Some salons offer services beyond basic nail care including facials for hands, waxing for hands and feet, gel nails enhancements (such as acrylics or silk wraps), nail stamp art designs, natural nail manicures/pedicures using products that do not contain formaldehyde resins or other chemicals, airbrush
A manicure is a beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed at home or in a nail salon. A manicure consists of filing and shaping the free edge, pushing (with a cuticle pusher) and clipping (with cuticle nippers) any nonliving tissue (limited to cuticle and hangnails) with treatments, massage of the hand, and the application of fingernail polish. When polishing, only use a base coat, 2 coats of colored polish and a topcoat. This decreases the chances of staining the nails.
A pedicure is a way to improve the appearance of your feet and toenails. It typically involves cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, trimming, moisturizing and painting your nails. Pedicures are relaxing and can be therapeutic; they can also prevent nail diseases and nail disorders.
If you want to improve the appearance of your feet but aren’t interested in painting your nails or paying for expensive spa services, you can give yourself a pedicure at home for free.

A manicure consists of filing and shaping of the free edge, pushing back and clipping (with a cuticle pusher and cuticle nippers) any non-living tissue (limited to cuticle and hangnails), treatments with various liquids, massage of the hand.

Pedicures are done for cosmetic, therapeutic purposes. They are popular throughout the world, especially among women. Pedicures include care not only for toenails; dead skin cells are rubbed off the bottom of the feet using a rough stone called a pumice stone. Skin care is often provided up to the knee, including granular exfoliation, moisturizing mask, knee packs and massage. The word pedicure is derived from Latin words “pes”, meaning “foot”, and “cura”, meaning “care”.

Polish can be used on natural nails, as well as acrylic ones. Many manicures include painting pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels. Other nail treatments may include the application of artificial nail gel nails, tips, or acrylics, some of which are referred to as French manicures.
In many areas, manicurists are licensed and follow regulations. Since skin is manipulated and is sometimes trimmed, there is a certain risk of spreading infection when tools are used across many people without proper sanitation.
