Thanks Caralyn! I remember my first manicure at school, it was a lady with...just as you mentioned...3 layers thick of cuticle half way down her nails. I wasn't even taught how to use nippers yet (actually I was never taught how to use nippers, come to think of it) and the cuticle remover we used there literally sucked! I nipped and pushed a good long time.
It's great to hear that you are teaching. Something really needs to be done in the beauty schools about that. I was just taught the bear bones basics and that was it.

To help soften the skin prior to cuticle work. I am sorry you weren't taught proper procedure. Here again that is exactly why I teach nail techs at a beauty college. I was tired of hearing that. Good luck. Sent from Caralyn's iPhone On Jan 7, 2009, at 8:45 PM, Lisa Cianciotti <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, This question is for anyone out there who uses paraffin as an add on to manicures. At what point in the manicure do you do the paraffin? What if you are doing a scrub also? I am one of those who didn't get proper schooling and was never taught anything about a manicure beyond shaping nails, pushing back cuticles, massage and polish.
