COSMETOLOGY - CITS

• White Tips: It is characterized by the application of white polish or light colored polish on the tips of the
nails. The goal is to create a contrast between the natural or light base and the white tip.
• Nail Shape: Nails are often shaped square or slightly rounded for a classic French manicure/pedicure.
• Versatility: French manicure/pedicures are versatile and suitable for a variety of occasions from everyday
wear to formal events. They complement a wide range of dresses and styles.
Contraindications for French pedicure:
• Fungal Infection: If a person has a fungal infection on the toenails or surrounding skin, it is advisable
to avoid any pedicure until the infection is treated and completely healed. Performing a pedicure in the
presence of a fungal infection can potentially spread the infection or worsen the condition.

• Open wounds or cuts: People who have open wounds, cuts or sores on their feet should avoid getting
pedicures. The pedicure tools and procedure themselves can bring in bacteria, increasing the risk of
infection.

• Ingrown toenails: People who have pain or discomfort around the toenails due to ingrown toenails or any
other condition should avoid pedicures until the problem is resolved. Pedicure procedures may aggravate
the problem or cause further irritation.
• Circulatory problems: Individuals with poor circulation or vascular disorders, such as peripheral artery
disease (PAD) or diabetes, should exercise caution with pedicures. In these cases, there is a higher risk
of infection and complications from cuts or injuries.
• Diabetes: People with diabetes should be cautious with pedicures due to poor wound healing and the risk
of infection. It is advisable to consult a health care professional before any pedicure treatment.
• Allergies or sensitivities: Some individuals may be allergic to certain nail polish ingredients or other
products used during a pedicure. It is important to inform the nail technician of any known allergies or
sensitivities.
• Immunocompromised conditions: Individuals with weakened immune systems due to medical conditions
or medications may be more susceptible to infection. Extra precautions should be taken to ensure a sterile
and safe environment.
• Pregnancy: While it is generally safe to get a pedicure during pregnancy, some individuals may be
sensitive to certain chemicals found in nail products. It is advisable to use well-ventilated areas to avoid
contact with potentially harmful substances and to inform the technician about pregnancy.
• Recent foot surgery: Individuals who have had recent foot surgery or have surgical wounds should avoid
pedicures until they have received clearance from their healthcare provider.
