Pedicure Tutorial and Ingrown Toenail Treatment Transformation Using Hard Gel ✔

[@alanamoore5747]

Wish there was someone near me who took the time to actually learn how to take care of their clients nails and knew about all of the different techniques.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Alana Moore there probably is. Just keep looking.

[@annearaullo2917]

Could you do a follow-up showing how the gel nail is growing out please?

[@tresand9595]

You are my hero! My toes thank you so so much for this ❤️ I have the same exact feet as her too! Same shape toes and nails and everything.

[@ContessaBlue]

Wow so well explained. Now I know what to do!! Thank you so much!!

[@mtynailss]

Cute pink polish

[@miccacaudill]

Love this polish color!

[@imahappymeme]

Super job, as always!

[@carmynbuzz]

I love doing people's nails so much! Wish I could do this for a career!

[@kelceyloser17]

Carmyn Bennett you should!

[@lesliebustos8845]

Carmyn Bennett you can!!! 😊

[@Llamajhunk]

Carmyn Bennett why can't you ? Don't no one in your town got nails? 😝

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

Carmyn Bennett you can do it girl!!

[@IrisP989]

Is the hard gel going to lift up the ingrown toenail? Can acrylic be used instead of hard gel? Also, does it matter if the ingrown toenail is deep inside of the skin and created redness? I am tempted to just cut it out.

[@corref2082]

Great job! I see you do this nail reconstructions with gel or acrylic interchangeably. What is the criteria for using one over the other? I am intrigued. Thanks again. I am sure you got a very specialized training. You know far more about nail and skin than a regular trained nail tech.

[@gailgulliver8970]

great job..x

[@deebus3471]

I always enjoy seeing the color of polish the client will pick at the end. I try to guess it. Silly huh?

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

Deidre B that's not silly, I always LOVE to see what color they pick too! That's the best part of it all!!

[@SparrowStockwell]

Deidre B Not silly! Just fun!

[@KelleighRae]

Could this help a pincer nail to grow back normally?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

yes

[@wadddupnicole]

Hi! Love your videos! I have a similar issue as your client in this video, & I was just wondering if they're is anyway to fix the nail at home without acrylic? I have have bad ingrown toenails & before I watched your videos I wasn't fully educated on how to treat it so I've trimmed my nail to short & they don't grow without breaking off!

[@herica041688]

I like seeing you videos. Always very informative. What can be done with toenails that are curving inwards on one side or on both sides of the toenails.

[@antalapuza]

I’m currently trying to outgrow my ingrown toe nails that I kept cutting 😭😭

[@mariatavera9830]

Hola amiga ojala y veas mi comentario. Apenas te descubri y me super encanta tu profecion lo hacer de maravilla. Es una pena que no entiendo tu idioma y que no se endonde estas. Saludos amiga

[@bersamaareknya5468]

So cool....

[@pricillia4u]

@ Meticulous Manicurist, What is the name of the nail polish you used here??

[@adelagutierrez6099]

How come my husbands toenail grows straight with the skin ?? The longer the nail the skin continues to grow with it ? And makes it difficult to cut ??

[@tendaiphiri3062]

Sugar squats! That's cute!

[@ajallday247]

Hey Lori, what’s your take on removing toe hair during pedi service?? I’ve seen some salons quick zip over the toe tops with disposable razors without asking, kind of just taking it upon them self’s.. I know when I do leg waxing I always do the toes as well, and when I do men’s haircuting I always clean up the hair in/on the ears without question, but never toes during a pedi, not sure why.. what is your take on that? Also- never see you do a French pedicure, I would Iove to see that!!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

I have a French pedi in the video list :) It is against state board to use a razor on clients. Anyone doing that should stop immediately. People don't really care about the hair on their toes. No one sees it and they will shave it in the shower if it bothers them. It doesn't bother me al all. I offered waxing on toes but no one ever wanted it so I stopped offering. I have a full cosmetology license so I legally can wax toes but nail techs are not licensed for waxing. If a complaint is filed they could lose their license and the salon insurance would not cover any damages. So any nail tech waxing should also stop. A few extra dollars is not worth losing your career over. All the nail only salons offering eyebrow waxing are also breaking the law. A salon licensed for nails is not licensed for waxing. So anyone who did hold a cosmetology license could not legally wax in the nail salon. And a nail only salon can not have a full cosmetology establishment license. Great question thanks for asking :)

[@emmae9924]

The Meticulous Manicurist Nail Tutorials so someone can't do nails and wax in the same salon?

[@ajallday247]

E E sure you can but you need proper licensing.... I have a “Cosmetology” license so I am able to do hair, wax, nails and facial services too.. I know it’s different in every state but I’m in NJ..then my boss, the owner of the salon, has a salon license too that allows certain types of services in her business. Around here there are a lot of nail only salons, and when you have a “nail tech” license you NOT legally able to do waxing services under that license. But someone like myself who has Cosmetology license that is broader you can..

[@emmae9924]

Amy Duque so if you all need licensees and the non licensed salons exist, how?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

E E only an aesthetician or a cosmetologist can do waxing a nail technician cannot do waxing and less they hold a cosmetology license however most nail technicians only have a nail technician license. The salon the aesthetician or cosmetologist work in must also be licensed as a cosmetology establishment in order to do waxing. A nails only salon is not a licensed cosmetologist Ablish meant it only holds a limited license.

[@bosa7731]

Super..

[@Journey2me]

Silcare doesn't cause a heat spike, that's what I use as I'm very sensitive to the pain of gels curing, and I don't tell silcare at all 😁

[@terryhillman9838]

I love your fingernails. With all the products you use how often do you do your nails? Also I’ve notice you also wear a different color on your ring finger. Why? Can you show some color tips I simply love those.

[@eatedi]

Lori your videos are great and I’m so glad you have covered this because I have this very same issue. I can never get my nails over the hump so to speak. I have had this done but then the issue I run into that nails don’t grow attached to the nailbed and I get scared that I will get fungus. Will the nails eventually attach with continued growth or has that skin not had nail growing over it for so long that it will never attach?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

If the nail is not attached you may have a fungus. You can send me a photo now in the community section of my channel. I will let you know if you should get something to treat the fungus.

[@periodicmesa]

Do you have any recommendations on how to find a similarly meticulous manicurist in my area?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

You will need to call around and ask how much experience they have. You should also go into the salon and check out the space to see how you feel about it. Ask to meet the nail tech. Tell them you are looking to change salons and see where the conversation takes you. You will know if you will click with them or not and get a sense for how serious they take their craft. Is this a job or a career for them.

[@periodicmesa]

Thank you so much for your reply! I am looking for someone to help with ingrown toenails and damaged/overly trimmed cuticles. Do you have any tips or suggestions on what to ask or look for in finding a technician I can trust with this?

[@ajallday247]

Thanks for another video Lori!! I find them so helpful and informative.. what is that whitish almost “dehydrated” looking spots that sometimes we see on clients’ nail plates.. clients ask me and sometimes I’m not sure how to answer..some times it’s something that can come off with just a little light buffing, but most times that is not the case though, and it isn’t something that can be removed..

[@waitingwillfill]

Amy Duque I explain it's the equivalent of split ends, mild superficial damage. Not harmful or dangerous

[@rjlbex1968]

Its white superficial white onychomycosis, the start of fungal nail, caused by wearing nail polish for too long.

[@meticulousmanicurist]

It isn't WSO and wearing nail polish doesn't cause WSO.

[@annavery2912]

What type of gel and light did you use

[@meticulousmanicurist]

An LED

[@michelleweisburgh229]

Do you know how to fix a nail that splits vertically? It’s a permanent week spot that I can’t seem to get rid of.

[@meticulousmanicurist]

I do :) check out this video. It will never stop splitting once it gets the ridge in it but you can prevent it from ripping by getting a patch of acrylic on it watch this vid 👣 Pedicure for Men Tutorial Ripped Toenail Transformation Hard Gel Nail Repair ✔ kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXaph2awjbV3ppI

[@Csb1289]

I have a question! Is there any way to change the general shape of your toenail? I don't mean the free edge, but one of my sidewalls of my big toe fans out to the side, and I can taper the free esge by filing so it looks slimmer, but my toenail is so wide. Is there a way of filing, footcare, cutting it in to slim the shape?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Yes, you can train your nail to get the curve back in it. You have to apply an acrylic patch to the back half of the nail and let it grow out. The acrylic will hold the nail in the more narrow position and help create an altered nail groove for the nail to stay in. You will have to re apply the acrylic to the back of the nail every few months until it is where you want it.

[@marynovak1436]

I love no sugar squats!!

[@mhealll]

Hi, is there any way I can email you about something? Thanks!

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Yes, [e-mail]

[@junniperjess1639]

I've never had a pedicure before. I want one so bad but I'm too scared! 😱 my feet are too ugly and my toenails are in bad shape, I'd be so embarrassed.

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Everyone says that, feet are all different and they are nothing to be embarrassed about :) Did you see the video where my husband gives me a pedicure and he calls my feet hobbit feet! You should just go get one, everything will be fine and you will be so happy you did!

[@SparrowStockwell]

Junniper I totally agree! You look to be a young girl, so I have a feeling that, although they may be in bad shape as you say, they are not as bad as most manicurists have seen in older people. Just do it!

[@tmralph1]

Love your channel. Someone is using your videos on Facebook and doing voice overs on them. This makes me so mad for you 😡😤😤😤

[@meticulousmanicurist]

can you send me the link please

[@tmralph1]

@@meticulousmanicurist check Facebook book messenger, it won't let me do it here.

[@emmae9924]

Why are you allowed to trim skin?

[@meticulousmanicurist]

Because I'm a licensed technician.

[@dra.janethperez6940]

Why filling the toenail instead of solving the ingrown. You do a beautiful job, you need to do a solving job too

[@rishel8738]

And what exactly do you think she should be doing to “solve” them?
