Hey yall
I know I talk about foot fungus all the time but I need yall to know how easily you can get this. You can get it at home, outside, at the park, sharing shoes, not sharing shoes, walking barefoot, etc. My client wears dress shoes and sits all day. Even if you don't get a pedicure every month, please get one every month❤️ Just to have your feet clipped, filed and washed should be the standard. Make yourself feel good. You deserve this.

When I say you have foot fungus, I never mean any harm. I literally mean I need you to look up a podiatrist and be proactive with your feet. All it takes is one nick, scratch, bump, etc and then the fungus is among us🫣🤣 couldn't help myself. My client said this happened in a few months and unfortunately I'm not able to work on it. The skin is growing with the nail and i don't want to be the one that cut him causing more trauma. Hopefully by next month he's made an appointment with his Dr and I'm able to move forward. I love us. I'm just trying to help❤️

Hey yall
We've seen these feet before. When I make the suggestion to not use a cuticle nipper on your own, it's really a warning. Cuticle nippers, among other things, set nail technicians and unlicensed people apart. My client hadn't seen me for a month and had an ingrown nail. Unfortunately, I can't work on this. This is NOW out of the scope of license and he has to make a podiatrist appointment. I have been removing certain ingrown toenails for 2 years without causing pain or bleeding. I, also, learned a trick or 2 if issues occur. Ingrown toenail removal is for a podiatrist or your trusted nail tech. Unfortunately he has to sit out and wait till the toenail actually heals. Hopefully the next time I see him, things will be different. Lesson learned❤️ take care of your feet. You only get 2 and foot surgery isn't cheap. I love yall

How often do you moisturize your feet?
What moisturizers do you use?
Have you ever noticed any dry areas? What do you use for them?
Have you dealt with foot fungus? What do you do for it?
My client discovered he now has foot fungus. He said he gets his feet done every month. When asked if he'd been coming to Next MAN Up and he said no, I knew exactly what happened. He works out, he's in work boots all day and only takes them off at the end of the day. Upon discovering he has foot fungus only on his toes, I started his fungus treatment. At my job, we have a foot fungus treatment pedicure. With this, we assess what happened, explain how we're going to treat him in house and what at home care and product he needs. In 2 weeks, I want to see his progress. Again we're not like regular shops or spas. We care and want you look AND feed healthy❤️love yall

I know yall have seen these feet before but now we've got a worse issue. My poor client had a really bad hangnail AFTER stubbing his toe. This happened 2 weeks ago. Usually I'm able to take care of these with little to no bleeding but yes there is pain but unfortunately he's going to have to make a podiatrist appointment. The entire toe is inflamed and there's a smell now. I explained to him how the process can usually go and the healing is going to take a minute but he needs to see a Dr before it gets much worse. This is why I say please don't remove your ingrown nails. Go to a professional. WE ARE TRAINED TO HELP❤️ A podiatrist should be the only one removing ingrown nails HOWEVER I have removing some for 2.5 years. This is why I'm able to do it with little to no pain. You just have to trust that I will take time on it. Sometimes it's an easy fix like 10 minutes. Other times I might need 30 to see what I can and can't do. I never take it upon myself to remove anything if I deem there's an issue or one could rise. I say all this to say please be careful ESPECIALLY with your feet. Foot surgery isn't cheap. And you've never lived without your feet. Love and care for them❤️
Love yall❤️

I love some good cuticle work🤏🏿🙂‍↕️this is actually one of my prom boys. He works with his hands and is graduating in 3 weeks. He wanted his hands to look a little nicer. Also prom is tomorrow for him. So congratulations class of 2026. So proud and so grateful to be able to help them. These babies deserve the world❤️

First time trying builder gel on my short nails. This is orly brand. I didn't add color because I'm checking on how well it works for me. I think I want to switch over to polygel and maybe add hard gel. Everything is still a process ❤️
