Manicures & Pedicures—What's The Difference?





Nail salons are all the rage. With a wide variety of nail spa treatments and options, you're sure to find something that will leave your nails looking great! This article discusses the difference between manicures and pedicures, and some of the benefits of getting both together.


When it comes to doing your nails, it can all get a bit confusing. Manicures focus specifically on the fingernails, whereas pedicures focus more generally on your hands and feet. A nail spa treatment will tend to both your manis and pedis in one service. But how do you know which one you're supposed to choose? The answer really depends on what you want out of your mani/pedi experience.


Manicures


A manicure focuses specifically on your fingernails.


In other words, if you want to get your toes done or have someone remove that pesky hangnail from your thumb, then you'll need to opt for a pedicure instead.


There are many benefits to getting regular manicures—and not just because they make your hands look better! Manicures can help keep your nails and cuticles healthy so that they grow long and strong without breaking or splitting. They also help keep the skin around your nails soft and supple so that they don't crack or wrinkle as easily.




Pedicures


Pedicures are a great way to treat yourself and your feet, but they're not just for women!


A pedicure can help you take care of your feet, make them look nice, and even save you money by preventing foot problems like athlete's foot.


A pedicure is a form of cosmetic treatment for the nails of the feet and toenails. It can include nail trimming, filing, shaping and polishing of nails; cuticle work on hands and feet; removal of toe calluses; massage of feet and calves; application of nail polish or nail art; artificial nail application; skin care treatments such as application of lotion or cuticle oil.


Pedicures come in many different types: traditional (where the entire foot is massaged), paraffin wax (where the feet are dipped in warm wax), hot stone (which uses heated rocks), reflexology (a massage that stimulates pressure points), and more.


In Conclusion


Manicures and pedicures are both treatments for your hands and feet, but the difference between them is more than just a matter of size. A manicure involves trimming, shaping, and buffing fingernails; a pedicure typically involves exfoliating the skin on your feet before soaking them in warm water. Both treatments usually include cuticle care, nail painting or buffing, and hand massage.


If you want your nails to look their best, it's best to get professional help at the salon.
