Turn your pedicure service into an experience that will leave your guests feeling like they were on an exotic holiday, says Dearborn Heights, Mich.-based nail technician Ruth Windsor, who has written a pedicure manual for techs who want to take their services to the next level. “The book covers some of my favorite essential oils, what their properties are, and how to use them. I cover massage techniques and reflexology, recipes for specialty pedicures and how to promote your pedicure services. There are also tips on how to create an inviting area for your guest,” says Windsor. “I feel this has everything a tech needs right at her fingertips.”
