Facts about Nail Growth and Structure.

Information on how to have beautiful, natural nails.

The primary purpose of the free edge of the nail is to protect the tip of the finger and or toe.

The nail bed is attached to the bone by ligaments.

The nail root is attached at the base of the nail, under the skin and inside the mantle.

The skin that touches, overlaps and surrounds the nail is the perionychium.

The lunula is the half-moon shape at the base of the nail that appears white due to a reflection of light at the point where the nail matrix and nail bed meet.

Nails are an appendage of the skin.

The cuticle is the loose and pliable overlapping skin around the nail.

The average growth of nails is 1/8th inch per month in adults.

Nails grow slower due to aging, winter months and or poor nutrition and tend to grow the fastest in the summer.

The growth of a new nail plate takes approximately 4 to 6 months.

Nail polish, applied correctly, can give the nail a healthy thicker appearance.

Hand massage with a good lotion will add much needed moisture to the skin and the nails, as well as, increasing circulation, blood flow, stimulation and relaxation to the hands and feet.

Over filing the nail and using too harsh of an abrasive or chemicals can thin and damage the natural nail. Electric Files are meant to be used only on artificial nails. Damage from electric files can harm natural nails.

In the salon, there are several quick fixes to get your nails looking great immediately, however, there is nothing better than prevention. If you treat you natural nails with care, they will grow and be beautiful. Regular manicures with quality tools, equipment and products is the best routine to get into if you want beautiful, natural nails.

Stress and How to Deal with It.

Stress.....

What is it and why do we have it???

The biological concept of stress was first developed by Hans Selye who intended originally for "Stress" to indicate a cause rather than effect. He made a linguistic error and gave the term stress to the effect and later had to create the term "stressor" to explain the cause.

Stress is defined in medicine as the result produced when a structure, system, or organism is acted upon by forces that disrupt equilibrium or produce strain.

It is generally believed that a little stress is required to maintain certain biological organisms, however too much can cause pathological changes in the body.

Do You Have Stress?

Massage & Reflexology are two treatments that can relieve stress and tension, improve blood supply and help unblock nerve impulses.

How can we deal with Stress in the Salon?

Chair Massage can be a very short treatment usually 15 to 30 minutes long, quick and easy to help us unwind and de-stress. Chair massage can be done quickly and simply on a lunch break, before work or even after work.

No oils or lotion are required, clients do not disrobe, hair is not mussed up during the massage. Just a simple pressure point treatment to help you relax and de-stress.

REFLEXOLOGY....

Reflexology is a treatment done alone or along with a pedicure or manicure, generally an oil or lotion is used and the pressure points in the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet are worked on. This deep pressure massage relieves stress of the body. With over 7,000 nerve endings on the bottom of each foot, stimulation of these nerve endings sends signals along to the spinal cord, and up to the thalamus gland in the brain, which produces its own painkillers called endorphins. Reflexology stimulates the body's own pain killing system.

Reflexology treatment can take as little as 30 minutes, or can be coupled with a pedicure and take 60 to 90 minutes.
