When would a nail technician typically recommend a foot soak?

A foot soak is typically recommended before any nail treatment as it serves multiple purposes that enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of the service. Soaking the feet helps to soften the skin and cuticles, making it easier to remove dry or dead skin and allowing for better access to nail care. Additionally, the warm water can promote relaxation, making clients more comfortable during the procedure.

By soaking the feet prior to various nail treatments, such as pedicures and nail enhancements, the technician can ensure a more thorough and gentle service, which can lead to better results and client satisfaction. Soaking before treatments also prepares the nails and skin, ensuring that any treatments or applications are more effective.
