Step 1: Fill the foot bath with warm water.
Add bubble bath to the mix.
Oh joy! Put towels and equipment in place.
Ask your client to sit down, and gently place both feet into the warm, bubbly bath.
If your client is wearing old nail polish, clean toe nails with nail polish remover, before placing them into bath.d) After placing both feet into foot bath, take one foot out, and begin to scrub foot with foot file.
This will exfoliate dead cells from the soles of the foot.
After about 5 min., place foot back into bath, and take out the other foot, and begin to file sole of foot.
Once this is done, put in bath, and take out the first foot.
If there are callouses on the sole of the foot, scrape away with credo.
Then, use exfoliant cream on sole of foot.
Place back into foot bath.
Take out 2'nd foot, and repeat some of the last 3 steps Then take out first foot for final time.
Gently dry foot with towel, and rub cuticle remover on cuticles of all 5 toes.
While cream is soaking cuticles, cut toe nails with nail clippers.
After all 5 toe nails are cut, shape nails with nail file.
Upon completing this, take metal or orange stick, and clean out nail bed of excess dirt that is trapped underneath nails.
Once nails are cleaned, take hindoo stone, and clean off excess cuticle from nails, and push back cuticles.

When all these steps are completed, take nail brush and clean nails thoroughly.
Remember that the water in the foot bath isn't too hot otherwise it'll burn your clients foot. -
