When you are opening a spa, you will need to know exactly what kind of professional manicure and pedicure tools to purchase.  Let’s take quick look at the manicure and pedicure processes so that you can get an idea of what you need.

Manicures

  • soaking the hands in warm water
  • cutting down the nails
  • pushing the cuticles upwards
  • trimming the cuticles
  • filing
  • shaping
  • buffing
  • massaging
  • painting

Pedicures

  • foot soak
  • cut nails
  • file nails
  • shape nails
  • buff nails
  • trim cuticles
  • massage feet and calves
  • paint

Some spas use a pumice stone to get rid of dead skin on the feet and some use a razor.  You will need to check your state laws to see if razor use is legal for pedicures.

You might prefer to purchase a few manicure and pedicure tools kits.  This will help you to keep organized and be able to use several tools clean.  You will need the correct tools for keeping the instruments clean, as well.

It’s a good idea to go ahead and hire your nail techs before you buy your manicure and pedicure tools.  This way they can get the tools that they like to work with and they are used to using.
