Beauty Salon OK! offers classic (trimmed) pedicure - the most popular method of treating nails and feet. This procedure allows you to remove corns and calluses, overgrown cuticles, and give your nails the desired shape. All manipulations are carried out manually using files, tweezers, scissors: this is the difference between a classic pedicure and a hardware one. At the end of the session, at the client’s request, the master makes a colored nail design with gel polish or applies regular polish. The procedure takes about an hour. While the cosmetologist is working on your legs, you can drink a cup of coffee, watch a video from the salon’s film library, and just relax and unwind.
Benefits of a classic pedicure
Shaped pedicure is the oldest method of tidying up nails and cuticles. Although the hardware method is considered more gentle, the classic version transforms even problematic legs.
At the Beauty Salon OK! traditional cleansing manipulations are complemented by foot massage, reflexology, and scrubbing with special compounds. We will do everything to make your skin look young and healthy. At the client’s request, the master will perform peeling, paraffin treatment, and depilation.
A classic pedicure begins with steaming your feet in a warm bath with the addition of disinfectants and aromatic agents. This is another opportunity to enjoy the procedure, inhaling pleasant smells and relaxing in a comfortable chair.
After removing calluses, corns, and the stratum corneum of the epithelium, a feeling of “thin skin” appears. It creates a feeling of lightness, weightlessness: it seems as if a weight has been lifted from your feet.
Trim pedicure is a good preparation before other procedures (paraffin wraps, nail extensions). The master will manually handle the most difficult to reach defects, and your legs will be in perfect condition.

- Svetlana | 2016-06-08 11:18:03 Classic manicure seems very simple, but in fact there are so many nuances! Only a master can do it correctly from start to finish. Previously, I also tried to do something myself, but once I visited a manicurist, I felt the difference. Now I only go to a manicure specialist, they are truly professionals in their field.

2016-06-07 11:19:52 Files do not need to be washed at all, they should be disposable! Another reason to go only to professionals with sterile instruments. I got my manicure done in a salon, and everything there is absolutely sterile and the instruments are disposable. The circumcision process is underway there!
Stages of the procedure
A classic pedicure includes a number of steps that nail technicians must follow:
- Preparatory. The cosmetologist puts on gloves and disinfects the skin in the work area to avoid infection. If there is varnish on the nails, it is removed with special solutions or using hardware.
- Steaming. The feet are immersed in a warm bath with the addition of medicinal oils and extracts for 15-20 minutes. During this time, calluses on the feet and cuticles soften, and the specialist can begin to work.
- Nail treatment. Using tweezers, the cosmetologist gives the nails the desired shape and polishes them with a nail file. Using an orange stick, the ptyrygium (white film) is shifted and removed with tweezers along with the keratinized areas of the cuticle.
- Foot treatment. The master cleanses the skin of calluses using abrasive tools.
- Covering nails with varnish. At the client’s request, nails are coated with regular varnish or a three-layer composition of a base layer, colored gel polish and top coat. This sequence allows you to create a unique design that lasts about 2-3 weeks.
- Application of nourishing and moisturizing products. Using massage movements, the cosmetologist applies creams and lotions to nourish and moisturize the skin.
To further care for the cuticle and maintain the effect, it is recommended to regularly apply olive, peach or almond oils to the skin.
What does trim pedicure mean?
The technique for treating nails and the skin around them is similar to a standard manicure. Classic trim pedicure involves removing the cuticle and rough epidermis using scissors or special nippers. The surface of the nail at the base is additionally “combed” with a pusher and scraper so that no films or skin residues remain on the plate.
Types of pedicure, their main differences
Trimming technology is not the only method of treating toenails, it is simply used more often. Types of pedicure and their features:
- Hardware.
Removal of the cuticle, pterygium, and surface grinding is carried out with a special device with different attachments that differ in the material of manufacture (metal, ceramics, rubber or silicone) and roughness. - Trim pedicure.
Excess skin around and on the nail, hangnails and thick calluses are removed with scissors or nippers. - European.
The cuticle softens and moves to the base of the plate. Women rarely prefer this type of procedure because the result is not very accurate.
Which pedicure is better - hardware or edged?
Each of the presented types of nail treatment has both advantages and disadvantages. In terms of the final result, it is difficult to say which pedicure is better, hardware or classic. After both manipulations, the nails acquire a very neat and well-groomed appearance, the cuticle and pterygium are completely removed. The choice should be made based on the nuances of each technique.
A standard trimmed pedicure requires thorough soaking, steaming and softening of the feet before treatment. Using sharp scissors, tongs, nippers, pushers, and scrapers increases the risk of skin damage. The advantages of the technique are the ideal appearance of the nails and adjacent ridges, complete removal of dead epidermis and corns.
Hardware pedicure is performed on dry skin and nails. In fact, the technology is grinding. Using different attachments, the master “removes” the cuticle, pterygium, and roughened epidermis. In this case, the risk of cuts is minimal or absent, so hardware treatment is safer, but there is a risk of damage to the nails. An incorrectly selected nozzle or its rotation speed can cause the plates to crack.
Contraindications
Trim pedicure is considered a traumatic procedure. Although in the hands of a professional there are no risks, before starting the session the specialists check the condition of the legs for contraindications and ask the client about existing chronic diseases. The procedure is not performed if the woman has:
- Oncological tumors
- Fungus on the skin or nails
- Reduced blood clotting
- Diabetes
- Diseases of the circulatory system
- Hepatitis.
Avoid trimming pedicures if you have a persistently weakened immune system.

Our specialists have the necessary knowledge and tools to carry out the procedure professionally and efficiently. After a classic pedicure, you will feel feminine and beautiful, because you will find healthy and well-groomed legs that you are not ashamed to show off both in winter and summer.

How to use a pedicure machine, and which machine is better to choose?
A pedicure machine is a very useful thing. However, this device has replaceable sharp blades, which can easily cause injury if used carelessly, and can easily remove dead skin on the feet. As a rule, it is removed in the following areas: the heel and big toe.
How to use a pedicure machine? It's quite simple:
- Having applied the machine to the skin, you need to move from top to bottom. In this case, you do not need to press hard on the foot so as not to cut off the “living” skin;
- When treating the heel, cleaning should start from the edges and gradually move towards the center. Fingers should be treated first of all on the outer corners of the little finger and thumb. The blade is usually used to remove calluses;
- If there are cracks on the foot, this area should not be machined or should be done extremely carefully. And in some cases, it is better to use a sanding blade instead of a machine to remove dead cells.
When choosing a pedicure machine, first of all, you need to pay attention to the blade: it must be sharp. Usually replacement blades are included in the kit, but sometimes you have to purchase them separately. They are disposable and reusable.
If you want to improve the condition of the skin on your feet, we also recommend using special masks or socks with an exfoliating effect. This procedure will help renew the skin of the feet and make it soft.
Questions and answers
Is it possible to get a manicure and pedicure at the same time? Certainly. At the Beauty Salon OK! The service is valid for 4, 6 and 8 hands. 2-4 masters work with you at once. You can order a pedicure, manicure, hair and makeup at the same time.
Is there a chance of infection in the wound during the session? In our salon, this probability is reduced to zero. All instruments undergo three-stage sterilization and are stored in a craft bag. Foot files and graters are only disposable.
How painful is it to cut your nails and cuticles with tweezers? Our masters have enough experience in nail services, so the procedure is painless, without damage or sloppy cuts.
Pros and cons of edged manicure
Classic manicure has many advantages, but there are also a number of significant disadvantages. The advantages of classical technology include:
1. Ease of execution. A trim manicure requires a minimal set of tools, and almost every woman can do it on her own at home.
2. Efficiency. Only with the help of a trimmed manicure can you tidy up badly neglected hands, and only nippers can remove roughened and overgrown cuticles.
However, this technology also has several significant disadvantages:
1. The need to sterilize instruments - otherwise there is a risk of infection.
2. Risk of injury to the cuticle and nail bed. If you perform a manicure incorrectly, you can damage the skin of the nail folds, which can lead to the formation of hangnails. By cutting the cuticle too actively, you risk provoking its increased growth. The nail bed can be damaged by pressing too hard on the nail plate with a pusher, which can cause unsightly grooves on the nails.
Inventory
During preparation, you must check and purchase the necessary equipment.
Deep basin. Here everything is in the hands of a woman. Where there is comfort, there is pleasure.
The required amount of deodorizing products must always be available for cleaning instruments. With their help, instruments are processed, eliminating dangerous microbes.
Sanding file for feet.
Heel grater, or machine. During preparation, its presence is mandatory. Helps get rid of rough skin on the heels.
Finger separator plate. It is designed to provide free access to each finger separately. Treating the nail plate, removing cuticles, applying coatings - all this becomes more comfortable and convenient.
Orange sticks are excellent helpers in removing cuticles.
Files. You can often see glass files in salons. They are popular among craftsmen. The reason is their safety, they are not so sharp and do not damage the integrity of the nail.
Nippers or nail scissors. Nippers provide an even cut, which is why they are used more often during trimming pedicures.
Strengthening agents or decorative varnishes. Their choice is individual.
