 Preface
Foot Spa is another relaxing service offered in the salon that
pampers our tired feet which is the most exercised part of our body as it
carries our weight and performs most of the time during the day. Aside
from relaxing our feet, it can also help prevent and cure many illnesses
such as headache, stress, asthma, constipation, sinusitis, and migraine.
It can also improve the circulation of the blood which is one of its utmost
benefit.

Alongside of the discussion are the following course content such

as; foot spa procedure; client’s safety and comfort; foot spa machine,
tools, supplies & equipment; basic foot massage techniques; pre-foot
spa treatment; foot spa treatment; and post-foot spa activity.

This learning material will present indigenous materials that could

be used in the absence of commercial products which can be found in
the locality. Localizing learning will allow students to master the skill in the
foot spa as they are not financially hampered when there are available
& cheaper substitutes in the community. This view is supported by DepEd
which emphasizes that curriculum should be indigenized. This learning
material provides reference and guide for the students who want to
have advance learning. Enhancement activities will be required from
the learners for them to try and to develop their skill so that they have
something to venture in the future. Since, there is a shortage of
employees in the wellness center because everybody’s want and to
become beautiful and handsome. Once skilled, they can be mobile
foot masseuse who can deliver services in the respective homes of the
clients.

 Lesson 1: Foot Spa Procedures

Objective:
1. Check and Analyze condition of foot nails
1. Trimming: Trimming is done by the following steps.
• Remove the nail polish (if any) from the toe nails of the client
by using the nail polish remover
• Cut the nails in the required nails
• In order to soften the cuticles, apply a cuticle cream
• Then, file the nails so as to get the shape you desire for

2. Foot Soak: Then begin the soaking of the foot. So this goes as
below.
• In a medium size bath tub, put lukewarm water and add
foot soak
• Next, in case you do not have a foot soak, you can add
shampoo or vinegar to stir. Stir it all well.
• Soak the feet on the tub or the foot bath and relax them for
10 minutes. You can have reduced pain and inflammation.
The water solution also helps in removing the dirt and
exfoliating the dead skin cells from the feet.
• Now, remove the feet from the water and dry it properly.
3. Exfoliation: Exfoliation is required in a foot spa which cleans the
dead cells from the skin on the feet. Follow the steps sxplained
below.
• Using a pumice stone or foot file, exfoliate your heels, ankles,
and side of the heel gently.
• Again dip your other foot in to the warm water in the foot
bath or the tub and repeat the same procedures.
• Now, using a foot scrub massage gently for 5-8 minutes over
the heels, ankles, soles etc.

20
 • Make sure you are gently scrubbing using circular motion
over the feet
4. Moisturizing and massaging : Moisturizing the foot is essential once
the exfoliation is completed. So remove the feet from the tub or
the the foot bath and properly wipe them off with a towel.
• Using a foot moisturizering cream, massage the feet gently
for 5-10 minutes.

Lesson 2: Client Safety and Comfort

Working together for a safer

today and tomorrow
Objective:
1. Ensure client’s safety and comfort prior to foot spa activity.
A. Here are just a few of the things in place to help facilitate client
safety:

1. Individualized Service plan and assessment process that identifies

and addresses specific safety needs. Annual Service planning
meetings to revisit needs that may have changed.
2. A comprehensive Infection Prevention and Control program
that includes hand washing protocols, housekeeping
procedures, and monitoring infection rates.
3. A Medication Administration system including staff training and
education, and identification systems to ensure that the right
person receives the right medication and the right dose at the
right time.

21
4. An Emergency Preparedness and Response system which
includes a written agency plan and practice drills to train staff
and test the plan’s effectiveness. HELP YOURSELF STAY SAFE.
B. Here are just few things that you can do to facilitate your safety:
1. Hand Hygiene is Important
Washing hands or using hand sanitizer is the single most
important thing that everyone can do to prevent and spread
of germs. CHIRS policy requires staff to wash their hands and
use hand sanitizers before and after providing personal care,
and when handling food and medication. We ask you also to
use sanitizers and wash your hands to help keep CHIRS
“clean”. It is to everyone’s benefit.
2. Recognize Yoir Medications

Staffs who are involved in medication administration

participate in extensive training regarding the medications
they administer. Safety systems are in place to ensure you
receive the corrects medication. As a client, you are a part of
the safety system. If we are providing you support in the area
of medication management, please make sure you alert staff
of any medication related concerns.
3. Preventing Falls
We all play a role in preventing falls. If you have assistive
devices to assist with your mobility, use them. Please be sure
to tell staff if you experience any health changes that may
put you at greater risk of falling. Your support staff can work
with you to come up with easy to implement strategies to
keep you safe. For more information, ask about our Falls
Prevention Program.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hand washing remains the
single most effective defense
against the spread of
infection.

 2.1: Foot and Nail Analysis

Assessment of the Client Feet

One of the most important parts of the pedicure treatment is the
nail and skin assessment. This enables a decision to be made as to
what treatment plan is required for the client.
When carrying out the assessment you should look at:
• Nail length and shape

Square shape Almond Shape Oval shape

• Cuticle condition / Nail condition

• Nail Color

23
 • Skin condition/circulation

Examples of the chronic skin conditions include: rosacea, which is

characterized by small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face, psoriasis,
which causes scaly, itchy, and dry patches.

2.2 Client Relation

❖ 7 Rules for Building Client Relationships

Rule 1. Give to the client your total attention. It’s not always easy to be
totally focused on a client in a with the distractions busy salon.
Rule 2. Remain professional at all times. Most of us take pride in our
professionalism, but do we always meet the challenges? “In a salon
atmosphere. It is very easy to dress too casually. “says Betsy Ayotte, a
former nail tech and founder of Nailite Inc. “The way you dress affects
the relationship you have with the client. As in any profession, your
appearance affects the way you are perceived”.
Rule 3. Always give First-Class service. Your service might not be the
only splurge your client gets. Her visit to your salon should be one she
looks forwards to eagerly.
Colleen Van Durme, a nail technician at Premiere Hair Salon in Dansville,
N.Y., says: “My clients come back to me because of the professional
services I provide. I make sure I am always on time and I make each and
every one of them feel welcome and special. When time allows, I spend
a little more time during a service. They get more than what they pay for
and they appreciate that.”
“Remember, the client is not just here for results. She is also here for the
experience, pampering, and cherished time away from her daily
routine.” Says Lauren Parks, a nail technician at Tri Be Ca Salon in
Greensboro, N.C. “Treat her as a guest in your home- offer drinks and
snacks. Make the experience ultra-comfortable.’
Rule 4. Be passionate about what you do and have fun. As a client, would
you rather go to a nail tech who is positive and passionate or one who’s
bored and unhappy? “Clients feel our passion and desire to please even
if no words are exchanged,” says Anna Joseph, a nail technician at
B*Dazzled in Leamington, Ontario, Canada.
“Clients often comment that I take pride in my work and it shows. I think
that’s great compliment and incentive never to fall by the wayside no
matter what,” says Van Durme.

28
“In this business, personality is 85% of the reason people come to you
and talent is 15%. You can do nails that are not spectacular but if you
have a great personality and treat clients well, they will keep coming
back to you,” says Kibuk.
Rule 5. Foster open communication. Open communication is critical step
in building client relationships. Your client should feel comfortable letting
you know if she is not happy about any aspect of your service. Letting
you know if she is not happy about any aspect of your service. A truly
open communicator will be able to accept negative criticism and come
up with a solution to make the client happy. “I let all clients know that I
never want them to feel unsatisfied with their service, “says Berhaupt. “I
ask that they please let me know if there is something they don’t like or
want different. From nail shape and massage techniques to lotion
scents, they can speak up and I will fix the problem to the best of my
ability. I want them to know they are important and not just a slot in my
appointment book.”
Rule 6. Think of a client as a person, not a paycheck. This seems obvious,
but do we really get to know our clients and do we really care about
them and their needs?
Janice Owens, a nail technician at Salon Bella in Ocean Springs, Miss.,
explains: “When I get new client, I have her fill out a simple 3”x5” card
with her name and contact information. After she leaves, I note the
things I learned about her on the card. Before her next appointment, I
pull the card out to refresh my memory. I like my clients to know I know
them. We like to feel special and remembered and our clients are no
different.”
Glionna finds it helpful to introduce new clients to staff and show them
around the salon, “Make them feel at home. Tell them to feel free to call
if they have any questions,” she says.
“My clients are like family to me,” says Tina Ciesla, owner of Blooming
Nails Salon in Hoover, Ala. “All of my fellow techs would agree they feel
the same about their clients. We make it a point to get to know client on
personal level.”
“I think a relationship with a client starts with letting the client know about
you,” says Berhaupt. “I found that new clients are interviewing you. They
want to know how long you’ve been doing nails, if you have a family,
and how old your kids are. They want to see if their personally meshes
with yours.”

29
Rule 7. Maintain trust and honesty. Clients want that warm, comfortable
feeling that comes with trust. To develop and maintain that trust, Owens
spends time getting to know her clients and letting them get
comfortable with her.
“Always tell your client the truth.Don’t try to sell her something you
don’t believe in,”says Ayotte,”It will show and she will know you are only
trying to sell her something to make money.The same goes for services-
don’t sell her extra services you can’t justify as something she really
needs.”

clients?

Lesson 3: Foot Spa Machine, Tools, Supplies and

Equipment and their Uses
Foot Spa Machine, Tools, supplies, and equipment play very
important role in Beauty Care Services. Their availability makes the work
successful; however, even if one may have the most sophisticated tools,
supplies, but does not know how to use them, they are useless. In order
to do beauty care services successfully, one must have a good working
knowledge of the tools, supplies and equipment before using them. This
includes the indigenous materials that could be a substitute in the
absence of commercial products and for those who have a sensitive
skin.

Lesson 4: Basic Foot Massage Techniques

Few things are more relaxing than a good foot massage. Tired feet
suddenly feel light again and the whole body is refreshed. The foot,
particularly the sole, contains thousands of nerve endings, and by
massaging these you can stimulate the whole body. Regular foot
massage helps to keep the feet flexible and healthy.
Kneel at the feet and work first on one foot, then on the other. You
need very little oil; if you have too much, your fingers slide about, which
can be rather ticklish.

34
Objectives:
1.Apply foot softening product and massage according to
prescribed procedure.
2.Advise client after service on maintenance program.
3.Confirm with desired service outcome and to be recorded.

1. Hold the bottom of the foot with both hands. Begin rubbing the top of
the foot, slowly working your way down to the sole of the foot.

2. Rub the heel of the foot. Use your thumbs for this, making small
circles with medium to heavy pressure. Work your way around the
entire heel. Repeat this action on the ball of the foot.

3.Use cross-fiber friction on the heels of the feet. This means you use your
thumbs to push up and down on the heel. While one thumb is pushing
up, the other should be pushing down.

35
4.Massage around the ankle bone. Use both hands to rub in a circular
motion around the bone on either side, and gently rub your fingers
over the top of the bone.

5.Use a fist to massage the arch of the foot. With your hand closed in a
fist, use the tops of your fingers to apply pressure to the arch. Roll your
hand back and forth to knead the skin gently.

6.Massage the toes. Spend time on each individual toe.

36
7.Apply the milking stroke. To do this, hold the foot in both hands and
give ten short, strong pulls on one side and then the other. Imagine the
pulling motion of milking a cow while doing this.

8.Use the Indian rub technique. Hold the side of the foot with both
thumbs placed on the inside center of the arch. Move your hands back
and forth as if you were wringing out a wet towel. Allow a lot of
movement of the foot while applying this technique.

9.Trypetrissage on the Achilles tendon and lower foot. Petrissage is a

type of massage that involves lifting and squeezing muscles to stimulate
them.

37
10. Massage the long muscle of the foot. The long muscle begins near
the achilles tendon and ends at the knee, and is closely tied to muscle
movements in the foot.

11.Perform ankle rotations. Hold the foot up, and use one hand to rotate
the foot around the ankle. Move the foot in circles ten times in one
direction, and then ten times in the opposite direction. The ankle joints
may pop, but unless this causes the person any discomfort there is no
need to stop.

 Lesson 7: Post Foot Spa Activity

After doing the foot spa treatment, it is not the end of the process.
In this lesson, you will get to know the basic steps necessary and
REQUIRED to protect the health and safety of your clients. By following
these steps, you’ll be in compliance with health and safety requirements.
You’ll also avoid potential consumer complaints, civil penalties and
license sanctions.
Objectives:
1. Dispose waste product according to OHSC and Department
of Health requirements.
2. Sanitize and store tools and equipment.
3. Close and sanitize work station for the next treatment activity.
7.1 Storing and Sanitation Techniques
1.Nail technicians should always clean both their hands and their
clients’ hands or feet before every service. Cleaning hands reduces the
risk of spreading germs from client to client.

2. All implements (including individual implements that a client brings in

or that are left in the salon), equipment, and materials that come in
contact with a client must be properly cleaned (sanitized) and
disinfected prior to servicing each client. Before any tool or file can be
used on a client, it must be properly cleaned and disinfected.

3. If any metal tool or hard piece of equipment has come into contact
with blood, body fluid, infection, or an unhealthy condition, it must
immediately be cleaned.

4. Store clean and disinfected tools in a clean container or lined drawer

(labeled “disinfected”) that is separate from soiled or used tools and
files (so you never get confused and pick up a dirty implement).

5.Sanitation is an often-misunderstood term. Sanitizing means “cleaning

to remove all visible residue or debris.” Proper cleaning is the first step in
safety, but it must be followed by disinfection, which involves the use of
chemicals to destroy germs on non-living surfaces.

44
6. Use clean towels and/or manicure mats for each client.

7. Products such as creams, lotions, scrubs, paraffin wax, masks, and oils
must always be used in a sanitary manner that prevents contamination.
To avoid product contamination:
-dispose off used or remaining with a product between clients.
-use single-use disposable implements to remove products from
containers for application or remove product with a clean,
disinfected spatula and put product into a disposable.

7.2 Service Maintenance Program

A. Clean and disinfect as recommended.
After use, the foot spa should be emptied of water and any
visible debris removed. Use detergent or soap along with clean
water to remove stains and marks on the surfaces of the foot bath.
After this preliminary cleaning procedure, disinfect the surfaces
using EPA-approved disinfectant solution while following the
manufacturer’s instructions for use of the formulation. Follow
recommended dilutions. If any, to ensure complete sterilization or
to keep from damaging the surfaces of the foot bath.

B. Be aware of the condition of the foot bath.

If you are unable to clean and disinfect your unit on a regular
basis, you should be aware that it will need more than a regular level
of servicing when you get around to do that. This is to ensure no
unwanted buildup of bacteria in the system. Obtain the
manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines for such cases. You
may need a disinfectant with higher concentration or even special
product such as tuberculocidal agents to ensure thorough cleaning.
Once the unit has undergone sufficient disinfection, make it a point
to regularly perform cleaning and disinfection.

45
C. Be safe during cleaning
Unplug the machine from the socket and let it cool down first
before cleaning. Do not employ abrasive cleaning agents that can
damage the tub and the vital components of the unit. Use the proper
& recommended cleaning formulations. Clean the splash cover and
pumice stone manually with soap and warm water for best results.

D. Scrub clean the essential components of the foot spa basin.

The removable parts, inlet jets filter screen of the foot spa tub
should be given special alteration during the process of disinfection.
Scrubs those parts with a brush and soap or disinfectant, observing
proper cleaning instructions. Rinse them with clean water and drain.
