    I ordered the Feryes clippers (I love them, too!), Tweerzerman Pushy, BlueStar cuticle remover, Kerasal, and Jojoba oil - conditioned feet and hands for 4 days before it all arrived and then followed your instructions - OMG!!! My feet and hands have never been done correctly by me or salons (I'm 64) and I did not get one single bloody spot! Every nail looks perfect, healthy, natural, and beautiful!!! Dry mani/pedi with YOUR technique is the only way I will ever do my nails again. Thank YOU so much for sharing your expertise and the product links. You are heaven sent, Lovely Lady! 😇

    I love love LOVE your videos and I think you are truly the best channel for nail education on YT which is why I hesitate to say it would be so helpful if you could give some additional information during the each step e.g. what the various bits do and how you use them (where to apply the pressure, how little to use etc.) Also, the same kind of direction you give when dealing with the cuticle and nail fold in your hand videos would be amazing but in this regard, how to treat the side walls, especially when they are so deep (my issue) and how to deal with sharps nail that can seems to splinter along the sides whenever I try to file there. I just came away with so many questions after watching this wonderful work. Thank you so much for your incredible work and your obvious consideration for people's health when looking after their nails. I hope my huge comment is only taken with the dearest tone it is sent with, best wishes from Australia, Amanda p.s. I must add, my apologies if all of this information can be found in earlier videos. I am only new to your channel and am slowly working my way through your entire collection to learn as much as I can from you! xx

      p.p.s. I've already seen amazing progress following your advice not to use aggressive tools to clean under the nail as well as using oil and moisturiser religiously throughout the day and overnight. I hadn't realised how bad my habit for nail cleaning had become until you explained how both that and the nail fold care affects the length of the nail bed. I can even feel how much better the nails feel as far as being attached to the free edge goes. It's only early days (maybe a month) but your advice is helping immensely and I now know those long healthy nail beds I have always wanted are actually attainable!

    Hello Anna, for some unknown reason I now see where I became unsubscribed to your channel a couple months ago. I thought you had stopped putting out videos but when I looked for you the other day I found you are still making videos and was thrilled! I am still catching up the videos I missed. Although this one is a month old you may not notice my comment. I have a question as to why the (one particular toenail) second toenail seemed so exceptionally groved downwards into the deep side walls on both sides and also appeared a bit longer....I was expecting you to trim the corners like you do sometimes. I loved this video and find these so calming and educational at the same time. Thank you for all you do for us and the work that it takes to educate us on proper technique. ❤

    Thank you for your video- I’m so glad you are doing more pedicure videos. I want to get a tool like the one you were using a lot on the big toe to get under and in between the sides. It was not electric but it was a thin tool you used to get underneath. What is it called? Also - I’m afraid to do that because does it separate and break the seal the skin folder has on the side from the nail plate?

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Рік тому

      it really depends on the feet (genetics, age, activity level) but usually every 2 weeks. Nails on feet grow slower than on hands. At least it's good to shorten the toenails.

      Hello Barbara! Thank you kindly!
      If you decide to work with e-file I highly suggest a specific, in depth, hands-on training.
      The rpm depends on the bit used and what I'm doing.
      Shortening of the nails (depends. 15K or 10K)
      Sanding band 10K
      Tapared Barrel 10K
      Cone bit 12K

      It’s not from this video. It’s during a pedicure when feet have been soaking. When you take a flat tool and gently scrape around the side edges of the nail there is always some material that gets scraped off. I hope I am describing what I am talking about well enough.

    Is this way of clipping/nail shape safe for people who tend to get ingrown nails?

    • @TheSalonLife
      @TheSalonLife  Рік тому +7

      Correct shape depends on the shape of the nail. I follow the shape of the nail bed and I round off the corners so they are not sharp.
      It’s very easy to incorrectly cut the nails DIY leaving sharp pieces which can pierce the skin leading to ingrown nails.
      If the nails are not ingrown properly cutting them following the shape of the nail bed will not make them I grow. I explain this more in the next pedicure video

    Hi! I have a question about my own foot nails. I have a few nails that are not growing "straight" (horizontal) or slightly down. Some of mine are growing upward (?). Is there a way I can correct that ? I keep them very short so it’s not obvious that they have a weird shape but then it’s still ugly because it’s tiny. I’ve had them like that for as long as I remember 😕

    • @TheSalonLife

      Plantar warts are very common and sadly very contagious.
      I suggest going to a dermatologist and they can treat it.
      I had couple of them and they froze it somehow and they never came back.
      Sometimes the treatment needs to be repeated.
