The ultimate pedicure service cleanses, renews, and restores the spirit and mind as well
as the feet.
It's a soothing experience from which your clients will emerge refreshed and energized.
Years of research and development have resulted in Pedicure by OPI, a carefully conceived
product range designed to meet your most essential professional needs while turning every pedicure
service into a relaxing retreat for feet.
Formulated using nature's finest extracts, essences, and essential oils, the six Pedicure
by OPI products offer a truly luxurious experience that will set your client's feet on a path
to perfection.
Soak.
Purifying tea tree bath is a low foam formula designed to dissolve quickly in your foot
bath, infusing it with the aroma of fresh cut citrus while thoroughly cleansing, sanitizing,
and softening the feet.
Soften.
AHA Callus Softener is a non-abrasive triple action AHA formula that gently softens even
the toughest calluses in just five minutes.
Scrub is a unique exfoliating scrub formulated with natural sugar crystals and botanical
oils to reduce calluses and banish dry, rough skin.
Mask is a five minute treatment that cools and moisturizes the feet while soothing the
senses with menthol and essences of cucumber and green tea.
Massage is a silky smooth lotion that provides the ideal surface slip for a non-greasy spa
massage while being the perfect lightweight moisturizer for daily use.
A deep penetrating treatment that restores pliability, softens calluses, and protects
skin.
It is ideal for client use between Pedicure services to slow the return of calluses and
prevent dry, rough skin.
Streamlined by design, Pedicure by OPI is so simple, it's perfect.
Each product is formulated to be spa safe and packaged in convenient flip top soft touch
tubes, as well as economy sizes that are ideal for busy Pedicure salons.
Pedicure by OPI allows you to offer a complete range of upscale Pedicure services, from the
most basic service to a luxurious experience using all six products, transforming an ordinary
Pedicure into an extraordinary spa retreat that your clients will both remember and recommend.
Having a Pedicure by OPI is like taking the mind and spirit, as well as the feet, on a
relaxing retreat.
You can increase your client's enjoyment by creating the right ambiance for a rejuvenating
experience that clients will both remember and recommend.
Like choosing a softly lit area for Pedicure services, playing relaxing music, and ensuring
your client is warm and comfortable.
A pre-Pedicure consultation will allow you to clarify your client's goals and ensure
their safety by discussing important health issues in advance.
This is also a good time to explain your salon sanitation policy, making sure your client
understands that service items which cannot be disinfected will be used and discarded
or saved specifically for their personal services.
Secure the foot bath for your client by adding about an eighth of an ounce of OPI soak for
every gallon of water, less if you're using an aerated spa.
If you're using a non-bubbling Pedicure tub, add the soak to the tub first, then add warm
water for a frothy bath.
After allowing your client to enjoy the soothing warmth and refreshing aroma for about five
minutes, remove one foot from the bath, dry it, and wrap it in a terry towel, leaving
the toes exposed.
Remove any polish with an OPI nail wipe saturated with OPI polish remover.
Trim the toenails and file them with an OPI board file or diamond-coated file following
the natural line of the client's toes.
The OPI file edger can be used to remove the sharp edges of all paper files.
Next, apply Soften AHA Callus Softener.
Apply the treatment to the entire foot, concentrating on the callused areas.
Massage Avoplex Exfoliating Cuticle Treatment into the cuticles.
Then wrap your client's foot in a terry towel and repeat the nail trimming and callus softening
steps on the other foot.
Before pushing the cuticles, first dip the tip of the Tooling Pedipusher Multi-Use Pedicure
Implement into Swiss Guard Antiseptic Gel and apply it to all five toes.
Clean the nail plates beginning with the small toe.
The side edges of the pedipusher can be used to clean under the free edge, working from
the center to the outer edges of the nail.
Remove any residue with a nail wipe and NAS-99 Nail Antiseptic Solution.
Detail the surfaces of the nail plates using the Tooling Dexterity Dual Edge Nail Plate
Cleaner.
Working close to the cuticle area, gently move the Dexterity Implement across the surface
of the nail plate, working from the center to the sides to remove the excess cuticle.
If necessary, use the AccuNip Professional Precision Cuticle Nipper to remove any loose
non-living tissue.
For a smoother finish, the nail surfaces can be buffed with an OPI Soft File.
Clean the calloused areas of the foot with the OPI Foot File.
Then apply OPI Scrub Natural Sugar AHA Treatment massaging to polish the skin to a silky smooth
finish.
The scrub may be customized for more sensitive skin by mixing it with a small amount of Soften
AHA Treatment.
Return the foot to the bath and rinse thoroughly.
Remove the foot from the bath, towel dry it, and apply OPI's Hydrating Clay Mask.
The mask's cooling sensation revitalizes tired feet as it moisturizes to leave them
silky smooth.
As an optional treat, cover the foot with a plastic bag and then a dry terry towel.
Repeat the cuticle detailing and callous exfoliation steps on the other foot and apply the mask.
Then allow the client to relax for a few minutes.
Remove the mask using warm, moistened OPI Lint Freeze or terry towels, which can be
conveniently heated and kept moist in a slow cooker.
Try scenting the water with essential oils for an aromatherapeutic treat.
Apply a small amount of OPI's Massage and Moisture Lotion to the entire foot and leg and soothe
away the last of your client's cares with a feature length OPI massage.
Today's top earning technicians know that a masterful massage can transform an ordinary
pedicure into an extraordinary experience.
In fact, the massage may become the primary reason a client schedules regular pedicure
appointments.
And that's a good reason not to shortchange your client on this important part of the
service.
Consult the pedicure by OPI instruction booklet to learn OPI's three-phase massage technique
designed to pamper your clients and leave them feeling renewed.
The final step in the OPI pedicure is smoothing and finishing.
Apply a small amount of Smooth AHA Skin Smoother to dry or calloused areas.
Be sure to mention to your client that the regular use of smooth and massage moisture
lotion will keep feet and legs soft between appointments.
Now that your client is feeling completely pampered, you can finish the toenails without
nail lacquer by gently buffing the nails to a high gloss shine using the OPI 123 Luster
Buff Board.
Then apply a drop of Avoplex Oil to each cuticle and massage it in.
This technique is perfect for men.
To finish your client's toenails with nail lacquer, position OPI's individually wrapped
toe separators between the toes.
Remove any product residue from the toenails with OPI Polish Remover.
Apply one coat of your favorite OPI base coat.
Then apply two coats of OPI or Nicole Nail Lacquer.
Followed by one coat of your favorite OPI top coat, Rapid Dry is perfect for pedicures
to dry nail lacquer quickly and help prevent smudges.
Mist the nails with Rapid Dry Spray and finish with a drop of Avoplex Oil on each cuticle.
After the service is complete, be sure to recommend the appropriate home maintenance
products.
Schedule your client's next appointment and complete your client's record card and file
it away with their personal service items.
And be sure to always disinfect work surfaces and implements with the OPI Swiss Clean System.
