In this lesson, students learned about performing a manicure, specifically focusing on cuticle care. They discussed the importance of using a cuticle remover to soften the cuticles before pushing them back with a hoof stick, which is a safer alternative to using hard tools. The instructor emphasized the need to be gentle and avoid using excessive force to prevent discomfort for clients while ensuring the cuticles are properly maintained. Lastly, students were reminded to keep the tools clean and to use them correctly to achieve the best results in nail care.
