5 Benefits of Regular Manicures and Pedicures
The current day and age makes women look at their nails as the epitome of beauty. We are asked to look pretty and only think about the beauty benefits in them. But it’s not all there is! You heard that right. Beauty is not the only advantage of gorgeous manicures and attentive pedicures.
Both manicure and pedicure have the same importance as brushing your teeth or doing your skin care. Nail care is a part of health care. Did you know just how important that is?
We discussed with Nastya Bonds, a passionate beauty expert of 10+ years in both Russia and UAE, how professional manicure and pedicure work at It’sbeauty salon. As the Co-Founder, she gave us an insight into the health and beauty benefits she’s seen herself over the years.
What a Professional Manicure and Pedicure Includes
A professional manicure feels different compared to one done by a non-professional. It feels like a spa treatment! Manicures and pedicures done by a professional bring in a variety of tools like e-filers and UV/LED lights into work.
Pay attention to how, in a professional setting, a nail stylist’s tools remain in a closed bag. They will open it right in front of you to show they’re kept sterile for your future nail care. Salon hygiene is never forgotten!
We’ll discuss more about how each step of this process works to give you an even better idea.
Nail shaping, cuticle care, exfoliation, and polish options
The nail stylist will always start with taking care of your previous nail polish. It’s an important step to keep healthy nails. Know that GelColor and CND Shellac will take a bit longer because the technician needs to soften the gel for smoother removal.
E-filers will take care of the previous manicure to give you a clean and well-taken care of natural nail to work with. Afterwards, your stylist will shape the nail according to your wishes for a pretty look because it’s all about you!
Cuticle care is the next big part of the manicure. That’s what gives you an elegant look from salon treatment. Did you know that Russian manicures fully take care of your cuticles? That’s how Slavic beauties show off their extra polished look. It takes care of every hidden dead skin that may linger on dry hands. Ask your nail technician at It’sbeauty about it.
Also, did you know that your nail stylist can use alcohol wipes to take off the oils from the nail plate? If you want to get a coloured polish (or gel), the technician will file your nails further and take off the oil with that wipe! It will improve the fixture of the polish on your nail.
At the end, you can enjoy a wonderful hand massage! A massage promotes improved circulation of your blood. Of course, the final cuticle care comes with the last drops of oil to moisturise them.
After similar nail and cuticle treatment, pedicures also end with a foot massage. Gentle exfoliation during it will soften heels for better balance and softness.
A gentle massage will always be a cherry on top in the therapeutic relaxation ritual.

Salon vs At-Home: How Often Should You Book in the UAE?
We discussed with Nastya her insights on the scheduling after working for years in the UAE. She had some thoughts to share!
Scheduling regular manicures and pedicures
Nastya recommends that ladies schedule their manicures every 2-3 weeks because nails will grow out by that time. It helps to keep the hydration levels high in your skin. Regular maintenance of nails is very important in the often rough UAE climate.
At-Home Nail Care Tips Between Appointments
After you’re done with the salon treatment, you have to continue taking care of your hands at home. This care will help your skin look smooth and your nails shine.
Hydration, gloves, and gentle removal practices
Nastya Bonds says that at-home care isn’t hard. All it comes down to is the simplest of steps.
- Wear gloves when cleaning to avoid chemicals.
- Apply cuticle oil daily to keep them moisturised.
- Do not peel off gel polish.
- Look into gentle gel removal at the salon.
- Moisturise your hands with an SPF hand cream.
- Do not clip or bite your nails – file them instead.
- Stay hydrated and drink water!
These will not take too much time.
