Hi ladies,
I'm hoping one of you will be able to help me as the academy that I am doing my training with haven't been very helpful and I have my exams next week. (I have read other threads) I have been asked to perform a warm oil manicure treatment with heated mitts and what I have in my notes is very vague and what the NVQ adviser explained to me just doesn't make sense as she is telling me to use oil but then for the mask to use a cream. It would be great if somebody could give me the steps on how to complete this and what would you use to heat up the oil etc. This is what I thought of doing....
File and bevel
Put fingers in warm oil - I am thinking of putting my manicure bowl in a bigger bowl of hot water and then take it out whilst the client has her fingernails soaking for 10 minutes.
(whilst they are soaking get fresh water in the bigger bowl for exfoliating)
Take one hand out and start the cuticle work
Work on the other hand
exfoliate hand
Massage with the oil
Then the adviser told me to do this
put a mask on followed by heated mitts.
Followed by buffing
Is this correct or would you do it definitely.
I'm so worried that I will be marked badly because i've been told incorrectly.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks xx
