Hello, I'm Tammy Taylor, President of Tammy Taylor Nails,
2
and today I'm going to be demonstrating for you how to do an amazing spa pedicure.
3
And clients love pedicures because they are so relaxing and the great benefits of smooth feet and perfect polish afterwards.
4
And there's three things that keep those clients coming back.
5
Number one, smooth feet.
6
Was all the callus removed properly?
7
Number two, the massage.
8
Was the massage memorable?
9
And number three, the polish.
10
Did the polish last?
11
And with excellent products and focusing on these three main things,
12
you're going to be able to do amazing spa pedicures in only 50 minutes.
13
Now let's get started.
14
Prepare your foot bath.
15
Fill the foot bath with warm water.
16
If you're using a spa tub with jets, add the Peach Spa Moisturizing Soak to soften callus and exfoliate dead skin.
17
Then place clients' feet into foot bath.
18
If you're using a vibrating tub,
19
then add the Peach Spa Moisturizing Soak and add the Peach Spa Antibacterial Soft Soak for fragrant bubbles that cleanse and soften.
20
Now I'm going to be using the vibrating tub, so I'm going to be adding the antibacterial soft soak and the moisturizing soak.
21
I'm mixing it up.
22
To help you focus on the most important parts of a spa pedicure, I have broken the pedicure down into three sections.
23
Section number one is 25 minutes, making the feet smooth and paying the most attention to the callus, the cuticle, and the dry cracked skin.
24
Now steps one through six, I'm going to be doing on both feet.
25
And make sure you do not soak the feet until you get to step number six.
26
You want to work on dry feet for steps one through five.
27
The first step is sanitize sanitize your hands and sanitize your clients feet.
28
Step number two I'm going to remove the polish with the Tammy Taylor peach polish remover.
29
Saturate your wipe it, place it onto the nail,
30
let it sit there, rub it, and then wipe it off.
31
I just Let's finish step number two.
32
I remove the polish on all ten nails.
33
Step number three, clip the toenails.
34
Always clip the toenails straight across.
35
Never clip into the corners or this can cause ingrown toenails.
36
Clip the toenails straight across and do this on all ten nails.
37
I just clipped all the toenails straight across.
38
Now I'm going to file the toenails with the Cutie file.
39
It's a 3-in-1 file.
40
It's a cuticle pusher, a shaper, and a smoother all in one.
41
File the toenails.
42
File straight across, going back and forth.
43
And if you want to round them, just round them at this point, but just not with your clippers.
44
And this file's a perfect size, especially for these little toenails.
45
It's really easy.
46
I'm going to do this on all 10 nails.
47
I just finished filing all 10 nails with my cutie file.
48
Now I'm going to apply my peach creamy cuticle remover to all 10 cuticles.
49
I apply the creamy cuticle remover before I place the feet into the water.
50
This way it softens the cuticles and gets rid of all
51
that dead skin which makes it even easier when you're pushing back the cuticle.
52
Rub it in.
53
Rub it in.
54
The fastest, easiest way ever to file off callus
55
and to get those feet smooth is to file off the callus while the feet are dry.
56
And I'm going to be using the 100 and 180 grit disposable zebra foot file.
57
Now this works on 80% of your clients.
58
But if you have someone who has really, really rough callus, then you can pull out your purple terminator foot file and nothing can stand up to this.
59
And do this while the foot is dry.
60
Now I just finished filing the callus with the 100 grit side of my foot file.
61
Now I'm going to smooth it with the 180 grit side of my file.
62
Step number six, put the feet into the water.
63
While the client's feet are soaking, this is a great opportunity to heat up your towels.
64
If you don't have a machine that does this, this is a great way to do it.
65
Get yourself a couple of towels, moisten them, put them inside a freezer storage bag, and then place them into the microwave for two to four minutes.
66
So towards the end of our pedicure, when we need nice, warm, moist towels, you'll have them ready.
67
For steps seven through twelve, we're going to do one foot at a time.
68
So step number seven, remove the first foot, dry it off.
69
Step number eight, we're going to push back the cuticle using the cutie file, which is perfect for toenails.
70
Has a nice little rounded edge and has a little bit of abrasive here, which makes it perfect for that skin that likes to grow up on top of the toenails.
71
Pushes it right back.
72
Makes it really easy and really fast.
73
Do this on all five toenails.
74
After you push back the cuticle with your 3-in-1 cutie file, you're going to use your clean finish buffer and buff the surface of the nail.
75
Toenails have a tendency to get ridges in them, and the clean finish buffer gets the nail really, really smooth so your polish looks really nice.
76
And do this on all five nails.
77
After you finish buffing the nails with your clean finish buffer, use your plastic manicure brush,
78
dust them off, and then we're going to nip any little skin that might be standing up and waving at you.
79
When you're nipping, you never want to nip the cuticle, or else this will make the cuticle grow back hard and get hangnails.
80
You only want to nip any dead loose skin.
81
And do this on all five nails.
82
Now I'm going to massage in the Peach Spa Callus Soft.
83
Massage this into the foot, in between the toes, anywhere there might be any dead skin or any callus.
84
Then after you massage in the callus soft, now you're going to use the exfoliating scrub.
85
Now I'm going to exfoliate the foot with a Peach Spa Exfoliating Scrub.
86
Massage this in right over the top of the callus soft.
87
exfoliates all the dead skin.
88
In between the toes where the dead skin likes to build up,
89
the heel, the ankle.
90
What's nice about the peach spa exfoliating scrub, the scrub doesn't separate.
91
It goes right where you want it and it really exfoliates that skin really nice.
92
Now I'm going to put the foot back into the water and rinse off the scrub thoroughly.
93
Now remove the other foot from the water and dry it off and repeat steps 7 through 12 on the other foot.
94
Section 2 is 15 minutes.
95
This is going to be doing a memorable massage.
96
Remove the foot and dry it off.
97
Then we're going to spray the leg and the foot with the spray paint away.
98
This will absolutely make a memorable massage.
99
It takes away any aches and pains they might have in their leg or their feet and just revitalizes them.
100
Then we're going to massage with our peach moisture lotion
101
and make sure when you're doing your massage you give them a great massage
102
because this is what they remember
103
and they keep coming back now we're going to clean off the leg and the foot with a moist warm towel.
104
Now I'm going to wrap the foot in a dry towel, set it aside, and do the other foot.
105
Now we're going to clean off the toenails with sanitize and a plastic manicure brush to get them ready for polishing.
106
Now the toenails are clean, lint-free, and ready for polish.
107
When I'm polishing nails, I always make sure I have a little glass dish with polish remover in it
108
and a small brush.
109
This makes it really easy to clean the polish up off of the skin.
110
Now I'm going to apply the Milky Base Coat to all 10 nails.
111
Make sure you let your Milky Base Coat dry for 30 seconds to a minute before applying your color polish.
112
This helps your polish last.
113
Now I'm going to apply the Tammy Taylor Nail Lacquer in Pinkalicious.
114
Dip your brush in, wipe it away, get a nice little ball of polish,
115
place onto the nail, and apply it in long strokes.
116
Don't worry if you get it onto the skin, you can just clean it off.
117
Now I'm going to clean any polish off the skin before I put on my second coat of polish.
118
my brush into my polish remover and then just wipe the skin and remove the polish.
119
Wipe off my brush.
120
Just go around each nail cleaning up very easy and fast.
121
Let the first coat of color dry 30 seconds to a minute then apply the second coat of color.
122
Pinkalicious.
123
Nice long strokes and do this on all ten nails.
124
I let the second coat of color dry, 30 seconds to a minute, then I apply my top coat.
125
I'm using the Z super shiny non-yellowing top coat.
126
Nice long strokes.
127
Apply this to all ten nails.
128
Now I'm going to apply the conditioning cuticle oil to all the cuticles.
129
This helps the polish dry and conditions the cuticle cuticle.
130
Now you have your amazing peach spa pedicure that will keep your clients coming back again and again.
131
Now all the files in the buffer that I used are part of the peel and stick disposable file system.
132
So when you're finished you just peel it off
133
and then you'll have a brand new one for your next client so you always have brand new files.
134
And then you just dispose of it and stick on a new file.
135
And remember, at Tammy Taylor Nails, nails are always fun and never feel like work.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
