The Meticulous Manicurist Nail Tutorials c

[@juliesparks7872]

Another great pedi video. It’s nice that your clients with toe or foot problems will never have to be embarrassed to come to you for their pedicure, as you are so knowledgeable and helpful about toenail troubles.

[@DutchessSarahJ]

The cuticle remover with the dropper is so satisfying. Plus I now only use nippers on my toenails because of your tutorials! ❤️

[@adelaide428]

I never liked manicures and pedicures. I thought they were too girly and unnecessary. However, upon seeing these videos, I realize that the whole process is like an art. Plus, I bet it's relaxing. I want a pedicure now!

[@Pamelasuerulz]

I had a client two weeks ago that had her big toenail removed and insisted that I do her pedi, her nail was almost healed but I couldn't do it. She got angry at me saying that she doesn't have anything. I explained to her that I was concerned that it's not her it is me. Long story short she is coming back in 3 weeks. I felt bad however it was for her safety.she finally got it 😊keep being fantastic!!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

You did the right thing. Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something you may regret. You keep being fantastic too 😉😘

[@fidnielsen]

Your videos have made me realize how important healthy feet and toes are, I've had 7 kids and it took this video for me to hear you say that cutting nails straight across the top is not the proper way to do it,so thanks Lori. Your client in this video has had a great pedicure and a great laugh too, her nails and toes look really healthy. ❤️🇨🇮

[@shielasmall7872]

I cannot see the most important part bc of the lighting :|

[@Orlanzepol123]

You’re right. I thumbed it up but I watched a different video after reading your comment.

[@reesee9669]

my favorite part of course is the cuticle removal!! i don't know why i find it so relaxing, maybe cause when i get a pedi its my favorite part.

[@brandym784]

Theresa G I like watching the toe funk from under the nails lol

[@mirandatugg9451]

I enjoy learning for myself, when I do my own foot care. I wish you were the standard for all nail places. I've never seen or been to a nail place that does all the foot care that you do.

[@patriciarumfelt6992]

Me i either

[@sherryholt7276]

I watch you daily. You have helped me grow. I really enjoy doing pedicures. And when my clients leave happy 😊 that's makes me 😊❤ THANK YOU

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

I have never done anyone's nails before but I do take care of a widow and try my best to give her pedicures. It is so scary to cut someone else's nails, toe nails...older peoples toenails...but I have learned not to use clippers, but nippers. You'd probably laugh at how I do it, but I am doing my best!! The more practice, the better! Thank you SO much for these tutorials. She won't go to a professional, so I'm it!! lol!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Your welcome I am glad your benefiting from them :)

[@angelamichele8651]

What a blessing you are to the little widow you help take care of!! I'm sure she's so grateful!! It's so important to take care of the feet of the elderly & usually they are unable to do it themselves. May God bless you for what you are doing!!

[@awilliams1889]

Hello. I love how you take your time with each client. My daughter treated me to a pedi/mani and although I enjoyed it. I noticed I didn’t get half the service you do. The thing I hated most was seeing y nails not polished on the sides. I can’t stand half do jobs. I get so discourage. Your work is so neat. Wish you were close by.

[@diannaclary3260]

Just had ingrowns removed on both big toes, I was so thankful to find your video. Thank you so much, Dianna

[@angelaofamericanwomannails8071]

Your videos helped me get through my state board exam!

[@deelola5273]

I’m watching your ingrown toenail playlist. I love it, it relaxes me and I love the tips. I’m totally hooked!

[@brigittelogue6678]

I have learned so much watching your video's ..I can now give my husband a pedicure without causing any pain. I love the nail files.

[@btcrazee1]

I love doing pedicures....seeing that client relax and enjoy a good service and a REAL massage is very satisfying.

[@jackiesmerk9611]

I just love your videos. I learned so much. Kept wondering what was wrong with my toes; thick big toe nails, in grown toe nails. Now I know how to fix it. Thank you so much!

[@sharonhughes588]

I truly can unwind while watching you work! The end product is always so sharp and pretty.

[@vampiarauk]

I really do appreciate how you share so much of your knowledge in your videos, my pedicure service has improved so much :-)

[@meticulousmanicurist]

That is fantastic!

[@gerdineverhoog1225]

I had the sides of both my big toenails surgically removed because of ingrown toenails (wasn’t fun 😱) and learned after that from my medical pedicure professional I should never cut them straight! Like you are saying, it really is a myth! Now I’ll always clip or file the corners round, no problems anymore. Still have very deep nail grooves so I would love to win one of your instruments!

[@emmabaltodano3106]

As an esthetician I love anything that involves cleaning of the skin or ridding it of impurities and making people feel better and pretty! And you do all of that and more! Thank you for your tutorials and your lessons. Very helpful and interesting! And thank you to the clients who allow you to film for all of us to see!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Thank you for all your support. I will tell them you appreciate their participation in my efforts to share nail knowledge with the world :)

[@babygirlfemale6507]

Omg yes ma'am...I needed this because my toe has done this a few times and I end up peeling the layers too deep and causing a wound!!! You are awesome!!! And...I really love watching you slide the tool under the nail to clean out the accumulations... Really good information throughout the whole video...like the safe shapes on cutting toenails to prevent Ingrowns...now I believe I caused most of my own and won't make that mistake again..

[@bsmith9326]

I am on a meticulous manicurist binge and this particular video has been the most informative all around so far. Thanks for providing the good information. I will look to see if you have a video on cleaning etc on ones self. A harder task.

[@karinaagrioyanis2460]

Just wanted to show my gratitude for teaching this video. It was very informative. And yes, the future sale of the clean up brush, great news. Count me in. Thank you so much! 🤗😘

[@ittsamemoojie]

Hello!! I love all of your tutorials, both manicure and pedicure! This pedicure was really fascinating. Seeing the results of a removed ingrown toenail was so cool. And learning that cutting your toenails 'squared' isn't always best. Going with the natural curve is basically a protection from gunk settling into the sides of the toenails. Thank you!! This'll definitely help me when performing my own pedicures. ❤️❤️👣

[@barbaraci409]

Lori, I am so glad you mentioned the way toe nails have to be cut. Love this video.

[@maryjopaoni3597]

I have learned so very much from your tutorials. Did a fill-in on my acrylic nails, turned out good. Thanks.

[@tevaldi76]

I just love the fact that different people have different issues with their feet and you can take care of the issues to help them with their daily lives and you do an awesome fantastic job and I learned so much from your videos I wish you were really close by I would love to have my feet done by you you rock girl keep up the good work

[@maryhall4518]

I love your videos. They've helped me so much with my mom. She has ulcerative colitis and cant get out to have a professional pedicure so I take care of her feet at home and your videos have been so helpful.

[@princecharmling14]

God bless you for helping me understand why my curved toenails always give me problems. I thought cutting them square would fix it but what you explain makes total sense. If you have deep nail grooves and cut square you can let the sides dig in to the grooves. Better to correct the groove itself by letting the nail grow with it's normal shape and keep the tissue soft while it grows out to prevent ingrown toenails.

[@eliselaughlin1886]

Love the color. Lori u r the nicest and most personable nail tech to ur clients.

[@egdaification]

Because of your fabulous videos I will change my job from nurse to pedicur🤗. Greetings from Germany

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Wow, you will be helping people one way or another :)

[@vickiparish9268]

I love to watch and listen. 1) you're really good at what you do and 2) I like your voice. I find your videos very relaxing.

[@chasitylopez8969]

Her pedi came out amazing!!!!! Your work is definitely the best! Hands down!

[@brigittelogue6678]

Thanks for sharing your skill. I can give my husband a good manicure now thanks to your videos. I love to pamper him so much. I just ordered some additional tools I didn’t get with the initial tool kit.

[@FanofFoulLanguage]

I wish I lived closer to you!!! I’d schedule every month!!! I would have said, you may have girls here that can do it but you don’t have my girl!!!!

[@princesstheatre6964]

I remember that puffy pink toe skin from when I was a teenager with ingrowns on both big toes. My mom made me soak them in Epsom salts and hot water, but they oozed so much every day that my socks would stick to them. She finally took me to a podiatrist who removed the side roots that were causing the problem, plus a bonus one on a second toe that had gotten oozy recently. I think removing the main source of infection really helped because I never had a problem on any other toes. For any who might wonder, my big toes look perfectly normal.. the side root really just anchors the main nail, it doesn't cover the nail bed at all.

[@skinrescue4827]

I always watch your videos and am so inspired by you, that I signed up on a course to learn to be a foot technician.

[@taffetajackson3770]

You have encouraged me to get my license and become a pedicurist! I love watching your vids

[@ladyjenny1746]

Since watching your videos I've learned the proper way to treat my ingrown big toenails... My pedicurist would only snip the little pointy nail but, she didn't clean the toenail wells or pull out all the impacted skin. So, for the very first time after carefully watching your tutorials on how to clean and gently pull out the buildup dead skin, I did it myself. My pedicurist refused to do this for me and told me there wasn't any buildup... To my amazement and great satisfaction, I gently wiggled and pulled out the buildup! A huge amount I may add since it was the first time. Thank you so much for showing me how to take care of my feet, even rubbing that area after showering and cleaning/caring for my ingrown toenails. I think all professional pedicurists should learn this. Not only will they truly be helping their customers but, they'll gain and retain customers by giving the extra attention to those who have specific needs. The good news is I showed a tutorial of this to my pedicurist and she was so impressed! She finally realized she could do this and now she incorporates this with my pedicures. She told me they do not teach this in school... now she has many more requests!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

What a great testimony! Thank you for your story. I love happy endings and am so glad your tech is learning in order to meet the needs of her clients.

[@Royalbluefam]

I just started watching your video yesterday and I love the way you treat your clients....I wish i could find someone in my area to do the same

[@meticulousmanicurist]

I hope you find someone too :)

[@erickamurria7492]

Ok. I had to follow u on IG. lol I just KNEW!!!! this ladies foot was totally jacked up. What I like most is that the lady is CRACKING UP 😂 she obviously does not feel anything. Her sentences never broke in pain while you worked. BEAUTIFUL outcome

[@Smithy379]

Love watching your videos! You've inspired me to look after my nails better! And I never knew how much confidence you can get from just pampering a part of you, you kind of forget about!! Love all the way from Australia!!

[@Orlanzepol123]

I’m glad you put that myth to rest because Ive always hated square toenails. Even looking at the someone’s free-edge with all of that extra nail looked awkward and uncomfortable to me .

[@michellecordello2611]

I love your videos, i watch them all time, i used to work in a spa and do pedicures and it really makes me miss this line of work, i also wish i had ur tools! The cuticle pusher! I do my own pedicures and a few friends still here and there! I’ve learned tons from you i wish i knew when i was working at the spa!

[@michellecordello2611]

Also what is ur IG and FB user names ?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Her toes looked so much better afterward. You do a superb job! Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy them.

[@rianegarcia8350]

I find your videos so oddly satisfying! I have actually tried to do at home pedicures now with a few similar tools that you use! I’m not the best but I definitely try! All Thanks to your videos! You’re awesome!!

[@alliequinn8401]

Thank you for your videos, I have not had an opportunity to get a nice pedicure (some things have had to be put aside for a while) and your videos help me get my nails right.

[@twinslotaddicts]

Another fantastic video tutorial of someone meticulously showing how a proper pedicure is done! Thanks for another great one!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Your welcome and thank you :)

[@rebeccaherrera6006]

I recently completed my cosmo license in Hawaii and although I like cutting hair, I found out I prefer working in the spa with mani/pedis and massages. I started school not to have a career to earn money but to be able to give back to the community especially the children and elderly who can’t afford necessary services. I accidentally found your videos and am addicted. For the holidays I came to Texas to visit my parents and my father is a diabetic with heart issues as well. My mother does his basic pedicures just to clean and observe them for the podiatrist. I showed her your videos and now she’s hooked and wants to go and see you for her feet! Now I know where you are but you’re a long way from Texas 🙁. Anyway, I wanted to say that you’ve directed my purpose of what to do with my cosmo license. I’d like to work under a podiatrist to one day offer these same services to the elderly in nursing homes as well as haircuts. God bless you and I hope one day our paths will cross.

[@lhanso20]

I just can’t get over how well you know your stuff and what great technique! We are so lucky you share with us!!! Thank you!

[@AmyH-M]

I got my pedicure kit today. Its wonderful. Wow the bottle of cuticle remover will last me forever..so big!

[@DanielleBates1976]

I find your videos to be very soothing. And thank you for the tip about cutting the toenail! I do my own pedicures and that info was very helpful!

[@kasvrt]

Thank you for sharing this client who grew out an ingrown nail. I found this very informative as I have a few darn ingrown nails I'm growing out.

[@Gmailaccount717]

I tried a month ago to make an appointment with you, but you only do pedicures on certain days. I just started a new job and can't take off. A week ago, I got an ingrown toenail (which I NEVER get) and it looks absolutely horrendous. Now I just wish that I would've made the appointment. 😩 I'll be making an appointment as soon as it heals.

[@claudiamcn2582]

Lori, you make it look very easy n it gives me hope! Whhheeeeeew. Cutting in a smiley face makes sense- will relook at my poor toes. Thanks!!

[@MsJrivas]

You do a great job love my nail tech but you are so thorough. Wish you were closer for a deep cleaning!

[@cla120690]

I cannot wait to make an appointment with you, which I’m hoping I will be able to do so soon! As quick and convenient all of the little nail shops are, I really want to see someone who takes their time and knows what they’re really doing

[@lonironi3754]

Perfectionist! Your work is so good it makes me sad. I live in Canada and I don't know anyone that has toe talent like u.

[@valerielarson168]

Love seeing the cleaning in the corners! You do such an amazing job! I wish you were in my town. No one does as great of a job as you do!!! 💕💕💕

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Thank you so much 🤗 Find someone you like their personality and give them a chance to get to know your feet and what you need. Don’t be afraid to ask specifically for what you want :) If they won’t try then move on.

I wish I could figure out what that polish is, love the color!

[@Catlac24]

Great job, very interesting but I didn't really get an understanding of how to heal an ingrown toenail at home as the suggested. Fun to watch though!

[@carolsullivan976]

Thank you for the new video! I get so much new info from you! By the way, love the nippers you use...they always seem so sharp! Have a great day

[@franceswitham8214]

I have to give you five***** for your super fast shipping and for the amazingly high quality of your tools. I ordered the curved cuticle pusher/shaper and was blown away when it appeared in my mailbox today. Highly recommend the products from your store. Nippers are my next treat. Can you recommend one? Thank you.

[@franceswitham8214]

That should be five *****.

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Thank you xoxo I am thrilled you are thrilled. We do our best. We run into hiccups every now and then like this holiday weekend and PayPal updating things, grrrr, but if it takes a few extra days it is always worth it in the long run. We like to deliver quality at fair prices. I recommend the pair that is 19.99 in the store. They will do what you need and are amazing.

[@LittleOne4me]

Both my big toenails, and the second toe on left foot have been damaged and growing out for about a year now. I always took having toenails for granted! I hope they grow in soon because watching these videos makes me wanna get a pedi so bad. But it's super embarrassing 😦

[@olliebelieber14]

does the apple cider vinegar or distilled vinegar foot bath get rid of the infection?, cause i think i need to do that before i get a pedicure for my ingrown toenails. I aslo have neosporin cream to apply. any advice is welcomed as im quite nervous about my toenails

[@lauraclay8006]

I love watching you work! I learn so much!

[@emmaburgess4320]

I have used out the door for 17yrs .. I love it.. but I have never thought of using a brush to remove the polish .. a orange stick is what I’ve been using and sometimes I have to use 2.. so I’ve learned something new as I do every time I watch you .. thank you so much .. what kind of brush is it .. and can you explain why clients have white spots on their toenails .. not all of them but one or two .. am I drying out their nails .. is there a base coat that would help and what’s your favorite base coat??

It hurts when I press down on the thumb. My nails grow quite quickly so I hope it grows out quickly, too. In other news my fingers look very pretty!
