Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Pedicure used to stress me out. Clients with thick old coating, toenails growing in weird directions, skin that looked like cuticle but wasn't. I'd spend way too long on each foot and still worry about the result.

Now I finish a full pedicure in 50 minutes — removal, cuticle work, coating, shaping — and my clients rebook every month. This course is how I got there.

Three real clients, three different situations:

The first is a straightforward hygienic pedicure without coating. I show you my complete workflow — orange wood stick, flame bit in Forward and Reverse, two scissor grips, cuticle remover, Monarda oil at the end. Nothing fancy, just clean technique that works.

The second has old coating from another salon. Red-band bit for removal, proper degreasing (this matters — skip it and your coating lifts), one-coat red polish, and the filing trick after top coat that makes everything look crisp.

The third is the tricky one. Double cuticle from over-buffing, thick inherited coating, thin sensitive skin. The kind of feet that make you want to refer the client elsewhere. I show you how to handle it without cutting into live tissue or spending two hours.

Plus one-phase white gel technique — no base coat, just primer and gel. Game changer for light colors.

The core movements are the same as manicure — same flame bit angles, same scissors, same coating logic. But you'll learn the adjustments for toes: shaping to prevent ingrown nails, working with thicker skin, handling the different growth direction. If you know manicure, pedicure will feel familiar. If you're starting here, everything transfers.

Who this course is for:

  • Manicure technicians ready to add pedicure services to their menu
  • Nail professionals who want to complete pedicure services in 40-50 minutes
  • Techs struggling with inherited pedicure work from other salons
  • Anyone who wants to master one-phase gel technique for toenails
  • Professionals looking for safe, efficient pedicure workflow that prevents ingrown nails
