SPA Manicure: Theory and Hand Care – MONLIS School Munich

SPA manicure is not just about beautiful nails – it is a complete wellness ritual that combines relaxation, care, and regeneration. At MONLIS School in Munich, students learn the theoretical foundations, how to select the right products, and how to perform this luxurious treatment professionally.

What Is SPA Manicure?

SPA manicure is an extended form of the classic manicure, including not only nail shaping and cuticle work but also additional wellness steps:

• Hand baths with nourishing ingredients

• Exfoliating scrubs to remove dead skin cells

• Masks or paraffin treatments for deep hydration

• Hand and finger massages to improve blood circulation and provide relaxation

The goal is to keep the hands not only looking great but also healthy and well-nourished.

Theoretical Foundations

At MONLIS School, we put a strong focus on theory as the base for practice. Students learn:

• Hand and nail anatomy – to apply techniques with precision

• Ingredients in care products – how oils, vitamins, and minerals affect the skin

• Indications and contraindications – when a SPA manicure is recommended and when it should be avoided

• Hygiene standards – to guarantee a safe and professional service

Step-by-Step SPA Manicure

Our trainers teach the full process, which students practice on models:

1. Preparation – disinfection of hands and tools

2. Nail shaping – trimming and filing

3. Hand bath – softening skin and relaxing muscles

4. Scrub – gentle removal of dead skin

5. Cuticle work and nail polishing – for clean, even nails
