Looking after your hands and feet without leaving home is convenient, especially on holiday or when you are short of time. This guide explains what to expect from a manicure and pedicure at home and how to book them well.
Which services you can request
A basic manicure includes filing, cuticle care and polish. A pedicure adds foot care, removal of hard skin and polish. You can also ask for gel polish, sculpted nails or nail art. If you have a specific idea, show it with an inspiration photo.
How to prepare
Choose a comfortable spot with a table and good light. Remove old polish if you can and mention if you wear false or gel nails. Keep a towel at hand and avoid applying cream just before, as it makes polish harder to apply. If several people want a treatment, book in the same request to save time.
Hygiene: what to expect
The professional should arrive with clean equipment, disinfected between clients, and use new or sterilised tools. It is normal for them to file and cut with their own kit. If anything does not look clean, say so: it is your right and it matters for avoiding infection.
What to mention before starting
Tell them about product allergies, nail or skin problems (fungus, wounds, infections), diabetes or pregnancy, and the length and shape you prefer. This lets them choose suitable products and avoid risks.
Duration and frequency
A simple manicure or pedicure takes less time than sculpted or decorated nails. Traditional polish is renewed more often than gel, and a pedicure is usually spaced further apart than a manicure.
