Pedicure

Home pedicure step by step

The key to a good home pedicure is working slowly, hygienically and with sharp tools. Toenails are generally better trimmed straight across rather than deeply rounded at the corners.

1. Nail nippers for regular trimming

For routine care, the smaller DOVO 502 006 are practical. For larger and tougher nails, choose the stronger DOVO 504 006.

2. Scissors for finer nails

If you prefer traditional scissors, the DOVO Solingen 51 359 nail scissors offer good control, especially on thinner nails.

3. One robust pair of pliers for thick nails

For very hard or thickened nails, the DOVO Solingen 1500 451 nail pliers provide more leverage and make cutting easier.

4. Finish the edge with a file

After trimming, smooth any rough edges with the DOVO Solingen 319 700 sapphire nail file.

Hygiene and when to see a professional

Clean and disinfect tools after use. If a nail is ingrown, painful, inflamed, significantly changed in appearance, or if you have diabetes or impaired healing, professional care is safer.
