Leafy greens can provide iron for nails strength and magnesium-rich foods smooth nails ridges. The calcium in dairy can help your nails grow.

How to Take Care of a Mani-Pedi
A mani-pedi can be a treat, when you want to lift your mood or do something nice for yourself. It can be a regular investment in your confidence, with beautiful nails and toes to match. While we recommend you take the time to enjoy yourself by getting a relaxing and beautiful mani-pedi, it's important you take care of it with proper home care. You'll see long term results a lot sooner than you expect.

Stick to a Healthy Diet

Your food intake doesn't only affect your waistline. What you eat can have a huge impact on the health of your nails, both fingers and toes, as well as your hair and skin. By drinking at least the recommended eight glasses of water each day and by eating a healthy diet, you might just see an improvement in the health of your nails.

Trim nails Properly

Unfortunately, most people aren't aware of the damage they are doing to their nails by not trimming or filing them the right way. When you come in for your mani-pedi, ask your nails technician how you should be trimming them. Be sure to have them show you.

Avoid Drying Soaps

You might like those scented soaps on your bathroom counter, but they may be doing more harm than good when it comes to your nails. That fancy soap you're using in the shower might also be causing dry skin on your feet. This can also affect your toenails. Always choose a moisturizing soap.

Use Intense Moisture Cream

Water-based lotions often can't hydrate your skin as well as oil-based lotions. If they aren't able to moisturize your skin, then they definitely won't be able to keep your nails as hydrated as they should be for optimal health. Choose an oil-based, heavy cream instead of lotion.

Oil for nailsbeds

If you are experiencing extreme dryness, you need to get caught up on the moisture your nails need to be healthy. It's recommended you gently rub Vitamin E or apricot oil into the nailsbed of each nails. You can do this for fingernails and for toenails, as often as needed to bring your nails back to health.

If you're ready to start investing in the health of your nails, we're ready to see you at nails. Between our expert nails technicians and your diligent self-care, you'll have beautiful, natural nails in no time at all.

Top 5 Reasons It's Time for Their First Mani-Pedi
You may be wondering when the right time would be to take your not-so-little young one to the spa for their first mani-pedi. The right time for one person might not be the right time for another, but there are several reasons why you may want to consider it soon. Is your young lady or gent ready for the posh and pamper of the spa?

A Reward

While offering a reward for each thing your child does can get to be a bit much and can become ineffective over time, sometimes you want to reward a fantastic achievement with something equally fantastic. A mani-pedi is a wonderful way to encourage dedication to a project, learning a skill or overcoming an obstacle.

Improved Self-Image

We mustn't place too much emphasis on a mani-pedi providing outer beauty. After all, they already have all the beauty they need, inside and out. What a mani-pedi can provide is a way of expressing that beauty and showing it off to the world in a new way. Remember, if your child is showing signs of poor self-image, a mani-pedi isn't the final solution, but it can be a part of it.

Healthy nails & Skin

Our hands and feet receive a lot of use every day, whether you are walking to and from classes, doing chores in the house or playing outside. One way to promote healthy nails and skin is by scheduling a regular mani-pedi, much like you do for yourself.

Purely to Pamper

Sometimes it isn't about what the trimming, buffing and painting do for the outward appearance. Instead, it's about what the process of taking time for yourself does for mental clarity. Self-care is as much physical care as it is emotional. Pampering them at the spa could be just what they need when they're having trouble with a relationship, schoolwork is getting particularly difficult or if personal issues have created stress.

Bonding Time

Your work hours, their school time as well as other scheduled activities sometimes complicate our lives. It can be difficult to spend quality time with each of our children individually. If you are looking for a way to get away from the house and spend some time with your kid, a day at the spa getting mani-pedis might be just what you each need.

At YO NAIL STUDIO, we specialize in more than spa services for adults. If you're ready to pamper stress away and have some fun, call 416-846-3303 to schedule a time to come in that's convenient for both of you.

Pamper Yourself With an At-Home Manicure
The pandemic still means many businesses remain closed, and many people are still confined to their homes. This isolation can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety. Things we once considered novelties can help provide mental and emotional support, during this time of crisis.

At-Home Manicures


It is important to look your best, even if you are working from home. Paying attention to self-care promotes emotional wellbeing, which is vital during times of isolation. For the perfect manicure you can do at home, follow these steps:

+ Start with clean nails. Prepare your nails with a high-quality polish remover, to remove old polish, dirt and oils that accumulate on the nails.
+ Properly file your nails. Filing is only one part of this process. Clip your nails if they are too long. File one direction into the shape you want. If you are new to this, it is best to keep to a simple round or squared shape. After your nails are shaped, gently go over your nails with a nails buffer. This will remove ridges and rough spots on your nails.
+ Don't forget your cuticles. Use a cuticle remover to help soften the cuticle area, then gently push back the cuticle with a cuticle stick. Do not cut your cuticles. They are important for protecting your nails from bacteria.
+ Treat your hands. Exfoliate and moisturize your hands. This will give your hands a younger, more youthful appearance.
+ Always use a base coat. Colored nails polish stains the nails, so prep the nails first, with a base coat.
+ Start polishing. Apply thin coats of polish and avoid using short strokes. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat. Two coats of polish are best.
+ Finish with a topcoat. The clear topcoat will seal in your polish color and make your manicure last longer.

Take care of yourself while you are at home. When businesses reopen, we will be thrilled to serve you again. In the meantime, don't forget to pamper yourself. For more information about our regular services, please visit us online. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
