1. Foot Soak: The pedicure often starts with a relaxing foot soak in warm water with added salts or foot soak solution. Soaking helps soften the skin, making it easier to remove dead skin cells and calluses later in the process.

2. Nail Trimming and Shaping: The toenails are trimmed to the desired length and shape using specialized nail clippers or a nail file. The nail technician will ask about your preferred nail shape, such as square, round, or oval.

3.Cuticle Care: The cuticles around the toenails are gently pushed back and trimmed if necessary. Like in a manicure, care is taken not to cut the cuticles too much to avoid damage and infection.

4.Exfoliation: The feet and lower legs may be exfoliated using a scrub to remove dead skin cells and leave the skin smoother and softer.

5. Foot Massage: A relaxing foot and lower leg massage is a key part of a pedicure. The massage helps improve blood circulation, reduces tension, and provides a sense of relaxation and well-being.

6. Moisturizing: Moisturizers or foot creams are applied to the feet and legs to hydrate and nourish the skin.

7. Nail Polish Application: If desired, the client can choose a nail polish color to be applied to their toenails. A base coat is first applied, followed by the chosen nail polish color, and finished with a top coat for shine and longevity.

8. Drying: The toenails are allowed to dry thoroughly to prevent smudging.
