Pedicure Protocols for the FNT
The FNT pedicure is different. As an FNT you are different, and your pedicures can reflect your
new knowledge. All FNT pedicures build upon a skin care-based protocol which:
1. Includes exfoliation at the beginning of the service to allow treatments to penetrate better
2. Increases relaxation by incorporating the massage much earlier in the service
3. Moves the nail and cuticle treatments to later in the service so they can be done efficiently
The foundation protocol is:



A Basic Pedicure – no bells and whistles
For the feet only
Scheduled for less time
If you wish to include the lower legs, it is an upgrade, must include more time, more product and
therefore a higher price.
NOTE: Do not apply lotions or creams between the toes. You need to sanitize and cleanse
between the toes at the beginning of the service, but do not end the service with any moisture
between the toes.
Tidy your service area as you go. Often there are small breaks in the service that will allow you to
do cleaning steps while the client is sitting with a treatment in place. If you feel that “set aside and
clean” is not the way you wish to perform your clean up because you feel it would be disrupting to
the clients, consider this: clients observe everything you do and are thinking “Wow, she’s really
keeping things clean around here.” Your clients will know the tub is clean, because it was cleaned
in front of the last client. It is your decision. It does, however, reduce the clean-up time between
services to the absolute minimum amount between clients.
The non-attached tub and those with liners will be no problem, of course. Just remove them the
first minute the client is in the “sit and process” time, and perform the amount of clean up
remaining between services.
At the end of every pedicure, some sort of quick recordkeeping is needed – client cards attached to
their Questionnaire, or notes made on the reverse side, etc.
The service area is cleaned, disinfected and “dressed” for the next client. If this can’t be done in 2
minutes, the technician needs to learn a new way of working. Make sure everything is within
hand’s reach, and placed in the exact same place every time.
You will note that all Treatment Pedicures are the Basic Pedicure procedure with additions of the proper
procedure and products.

Questionnaire while in the waiting room prior to being seated in the service area. She/he
should be shown where the restroom is, and offered a beverage.
Foot analysis and consultation – The pedicurist puts on her gloves for beginning the analysis,
performing sanitation of the feet, including flossing, inspection and consultation. The polish is
removed and the nails inspected, as well. At this time, it is determined if the pedicure will
proceed, and if so, whether or not it will include a foot soak. If you observe any contraindications for a pedicure service, refer to a physician.
Exfoliation – Large, loose and obvious eponychium is removed, and a dry callus reduction is
done in the case of heavy calluses.
Foot bath – the water is prepared at a safe temperature and feet are soaked. During this time,
the tech should discuss upgrades and costs, and choose a nail finish (polish color, or a buffed
shine, etc.)
Moisturize and massage – Remove one foot from the bath, pat it dry and apply an appropriate
lotion or cream. Perform the appropriate massage technique on this foot, wrap it in a towel
and set it aside. Move to the second foot. During this portion, the nail tech is quiet.
Note: The dominant (the foot on the side of the body of the writing hand) foot is second foot in the
procedures, allowing a longer soak in Step 2. This foot usually has more calluses and is in the worse shape
of the feet.
Apply callus softener – Apply a callus softening treatment ONLY to the callused areas. When
both feet are again towel-wrapped, remove or drain the foot bath. This is a good time to start
the disinfection cycle.
Note: if the pedicurist leaves the area or washes the pedi basin out, new gloves are needed
prior to returning to the procedure.
7. Callus reduction – The covering on the first foot is opened. If the product calls for it, callus
softener must be cleansed away with either a warm wet towel or warm, soapy water in a spray
bottle. It is important that the softener not be allowed to stay on the skin longer than
recommended by the manufacturer. The callus reduction procedure is performed using a
single-use abrasive pad or foot-file. After the procedure is completed, a light moisture lotion is
applied and the foot is laid aside with a towel wrap for warmth. The procedure is repeated on
the second foot. This is the time to discuss home-care products to increase hydration, etc.
8. Nail detailing – The first foot is now ready for the nail work to be completed – cuticle push
back, trimming and filing. Any wayward eponychium will have become apparent for removal.
An emollient oil can be buffed into and around the entire nail plate. Repeat on second foot.
9. Nail finishing – The nails are now ready to be finished in the manner discussed. If polish is to
be applied, first cleanse the nail plates thoroughly with a nail dehydrant for better polish
results. Place single-use toe separators between toes and complete the nail finish. This is a good
time discuss the next appointment or the need for a series or a package,
10. Rebook, collect payment and dismiss – Unless you release them to a front desk, while the
client’s nails are drying, gather any retail items, calculate the ticket total and collect payment
and rebook the next appointment. In the moments while the client is getting her wallet out of
her purse, looking at her calendar, finding keys, etc. be tidying up the service area. Help the
client with their shoes or pedi slippers and then out of the chair – moving her to a “drying
area” is ideal to prevent smudges, while freeing up the area for disinfection and set up for the
next client.

Scrub Pedicure
The Scrub Pedicure is designed to treat rough and scaly skin on the feet. This Pedicure’s scrub
begins with Step 5, where the scrub step is incorporated before the massage.
The only Step different than the Basic Pedicure is Step 5.
You may need to add a few minutes in the soak, according to the degree of roughness. The foot
soak must first soften the rough skin on the feet enough to allow it to be released by the healthy
skin beneath. Understand, however, the rough skin must not be fully removed in one pedicure as the
skin can become irritated, damaged and painful. Do NOT be aggressive. For that reason, if there is
roughness beyond minor, it must be performed in a series of 3-6 pedicures, and home care is
extremely important.
1. The pre-service and in-room seating of the client - New Client Questionnaire, if needed.
2. Foot analysis and consultation – At this time, it is determined if the pedicure will proceed,
and if so, whether or not it will include a foot soak. If you observe any contra- indications for a
pedicure service, refer to a physician.
3. Exfoliation – Large, loose and obvious eponychium is removed, dry callus reduction done.
4. Foot bath – the water is prepared at a safe temperature and feet are soaked. During this time,
the tech should discuss upgrades and costs, such as whether or not to include the lower legs. A
longer soak may be needed for rougher feet.
5. Scrub and massage – Remove one foot from the bath, pat it dry and apply an appropriate
scrub product and using massage-type strokes, scrub the entire foot approx. 2 minutes.
NEVER SCRUB UNTIL REDNESS IS APPARENT. Use the footbath water to remove the
scrub, then pat dry again, and perform the usual moisturizing massage. Wrap the foot and set
aside. Repeat on the second foot.
6. Apply callus softener – Apply a callus softening treatment and when both feet are again towelwrapped, remove or drain the foot bath and start the disinfection cycle.
7. Callus reduction – If required, remove the callus softener and perform the callus reduction.
Apply a light moisture lotion and towel wrap for warmth. The procedure is repeated on the
second foot.
8. Nail detailing – Cuticle push back, trimming and filing. Oil can be buffed into and around
the entire nail plate. Repeat on second foot.
9. Nail finishing – Place single-use toe separators between toes and complete the nail finish.

Hydration Pedicure
The Hydration Pedicure is designed to treat dry and scaly skin on the feet. This pedicure includes
a hydrating masque after the massage in Step 5
The only Step different than the Scrub Pedicure is adding the masque in Step 5. Scrub on the
foot, perform post-scrub removal of the product and then apply lotion. It is more effective to
remove dead, dry surface skin cells before attempting to rehydrate the skin.
Generally, you won’t extend the foot soak because it will increase dryness in the skin.
1. The pre-service and in-room seating of the client - New Client Questionnaire, if needed.

relaxation. This pedicure includes the use of heat for better penetration of the moisturization and
for that “pampering” feeling. This pedicure can be themed, such as one designed for Christmas or
Valentine’s Day. Usually they are offered for a month.
The only Steps different than the Hydration Pedicure is a leg treatment is included, and a heat or
warmth element is added. Scrub on the foot and leg is performed, post-scrub removal of the
product and then the massage is performed, including the leg. Also, you are adding paraffin after
the moisturizing massage OR heated booties over a plastic bag after the masque.
1. The pre-service and in-room seating of the client - New Client Questionnaire, if needed.

relaxation. This pedicure includes the use of synergistic (work well together, similar in fragrance)
aromatherapy oils.
The only Step different than the Pampering Pedicure is adding good quality aromatherapy oils to
the various steps.

Soakless Pedicure
This pedicure uses the same protocols as the above mentioned ones, but instead of soaking, the
feet are cleaned by applying a gel or foam hand cleanser on your hands (you may have to renew)
and massaging at the very beginning of the service. Massage the cleanser thoroughly all over the
feet – even between the toes. Wipe the feet with a warm, wet or dry towel.
Any pedicure can be “soakless.”
A brush with gel cleanser on it is used around the toenails.

Callus Reduction Pedicure – Initial
This pedicure is based on the Hydration Pedicure with emphasis on the callused areas. A scrub
and rehydration are both needed to effectively reduce the calluses. Shorten the soak time, to allow
for more time exfoliating and to reduce the dehydration effects of soaking.
This pedicure does not induce more calluses as the blades do and the client’s feet are not sore.
Many never have calluses again, but do not promise that.
If you have an esthetician on staff, you may consult with her for a skin-care product such as glycolic
or salicylic acid to incorporate into the service.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove ALL the calluses in a single pedicure. Suggest a series of
Callus Treatments (see the following protocol.)
1. The pre-service and in-room seating of the client – New Client Questionnaire, if needed
2. Foot sanitation, analysis and consultation – At this time, it is determined if the pedicure will

use of an e-file is very efficient here. Apply a light moisture lotion and towel wrap for warmth.
The procedure is repeated on the second foot.
