At the Skin Science Institute, we\u2019re proud to provide you with all the training you\u2019ll need to become a professional esthetician. Our beauty school is the perfect place for professional skincare specialist training, with detailed programs and an entire dedicated student spa.<\/p>\n

Some of the most popular services offered in the spa are manicures and pedicures, and these double as some of the most common skincare areas you\u2019ll be handling as a professional in the field. With that in mind, here are a few tips for preparing for a manicure or pedicure.<\/p>\n

Flip Flops or Sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These are items that are often offered in a given spa situation, but many prefer to bring their own if they regularly have manicures and pedicures. These are great if you\u2019re in a hurry and on the go, and many people simply feel more comfortable wearing their own items when they\u2019re in a public place.<\/p>\n

Polish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another item that\u2019s generally supplied by the spa is polish, but there are a couple reasons why bringing you own from home might be a better idea if you\u2019re having polish services done. For one, if a chip or imperfection takes place later, you\u2019ll have the ability to fix it with the proper color without having to go back to the spa. For another, you have full control over the quality of polish and the ingredients used.<\/p>\n

Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In general, avoid wearing anything that has suppers or buttons in the bottoms. These items can be tough to remove if you need to use the bathroom, and they can damage your fresh nails if you mess around with them.<\/p>\n

Tip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Always prepare to have a proper tip ready. This isn\u2019t technically required, but it will be appreciated by your stylist and will go a long way toward supporting someone\u2019s career in the long run.<\/p>\n

Timing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Be sure to allot the proper time for a manicure or pedicure \u2013 there\u2019s nothing worse than having to rush one. Pedicures tend to take around an hour, while manicures take about 45 minutes. Also consider time to let your nails dry. Make sure you\u2019re always on time for appointments, as being late might inconvenience other customers and their schedules.<\/p>\n
