Concept of MPS – Manicures and Pedicures


What does a manicure do?

A manicure is a type of cosmetic beauty treatment for the hands and the nails and has the following steps performed as a routine:



  • Examination Of The Nail: Our skilled technicians will evaluate the general appearance of your nails and skin to draft a treatment plan.
  • Nail Treatment: This includes cutting, filing and shaping the nails to the desirable size and style.
  • Cuticle Treatment: To help the nails to grow healthily, cuticles are moved back and removed alongside some nail tissues for a tidier appearance.
  • Scrubbing: When reviving dry skin, gently particles may be used to help expose the smoother skin beneath.
  • Massage: The service culminates in hand and arm massage, which enhances blood flow and relieves tightness in the muscles.
  • Polish Application: This time, polish base coat, polish color, and topcoat have all been applied to give the nails a good look.

What is a Pedicure?

A pedicure may be likened to a manicure in that it entails processes targeting specific areas like the feet and toenails. It generally includes:



  • Foot Assessment: Evaluation and appraisal of the feet and the nails is performed by the clinicians.
  • Nail Care: Wholly- to partially-covered toenails are clipped, shaped and polished.
  • Cuticle Care: Nail beds are made clean and healthy by protecting the cuticles.
  • Exfoliation and Callus Removal: Feet are scrubbed specifically to get rid of the callosities on the feet and achieve soft skin.
  • Massage: A gentle foot with leg massage dispels the stress or tension.
  • Polish Application: Like the other ones, toenails require polish base coat, polish color and topcoat.
