Male manicure

For years, male manicure has been associated by the target audience of this service as something embarrassing and unnecessary. "A real man at the beautician? On my nails?! " - shame! 

I remember the situation from 3 years ago, when a bride brought her future husband for a male manicure service before the wedding. The visit started with the questions: "Are you sure I have to?, Many guys come here?, I'm not the only one?!" - I replied calmly that it is nothing terrible, the treatment is very pleasant and yes, other men also use it (I have not mentioned the fact that they behave similarly). I saw a slight relief on his face that didn't last very long ... exactly until I turned on the drilling machine. Panic in the eyes and the urge to run. After hard negotiations and promises not to hurt his cuticles or feelings – we did it. After a few minutes, some new client entered the office to sign up for the service. And our man? I had to look for him because he pretended to hang frames on my walls…

Fortunately, a lot has changed during these 3 years. More and more men come to the salon and they are not ashamed of it. They know that this is another form of caring for your image, right next to the hairdresser, because aren't the hands that showcase every human being? Personally, I really like this procedure - it is quick, pleasant and very often ends with a specific metamorphosis of the hand. How do I make it? Check it out!

Men's manicure - step by step

1. Disinfect hands with a hand disinfectant gel

2. Push away the cuticles with a wooden stick

3. Using a bit remove the epithelium from the surface of the nail plate and push and lift the proximal shaft

4. Shorten the nail and give a free edge shape corresponding to the natural bearing using a straight 8037 file, 100/180 grit

6. Soften the cuticles with a keratolytic and then cut them out with scissors.

7. Put an olive with the scent of orient on the periungual shaft

8. Using a rounded cylinder bit I polish the cuticle of periungual shafts on the olive

9. Time for a peeling from Mistero Milano with 8259/300  Shea butter Orient series to smoothen the hands and exfoliate the dead epidermis.

10. After washing hands apply the 4030/70 BAD BOY hand cream and give a relaxing massage… that's the effect!

The view of the client's face after such a metamorphosis is insane! Do you provide such a service at your salon? Or maybe after reading today's article you will start? Share your opinion with us in the comment!
