Spa Pedicures

The average person walks four times around the world in their lifetime. Why not treat your feet to a spa day.

Everyone deserves a pedicure at least a few times a year.

What is included in a Spa Pedicure?

A typical pedicure, depending on what shape your feet are in, consists of a number of things. The first thing you can expect from your pedicure is to have your feet soaked in a cleansing and softening solution. This is done for a couple of reasons. One, it feels good and gives you that spa sensation. Two, it cleans your feet. Three, it softens your skin and nails in preparation for the rest of the pedicure process.

Normally following your foot soak and cleanse.  The pedicurist will start your grooming with removing any existing polish from your toenails. Your toenails will be trimmed if they need to be. They will be filed to remove any sharp edges and shaped to an attractive curve. If the tops of the nails need they will be buffed to natural shine. Your cuticles will be clipped and oiled if needed. Your nails will then be cleaned of any debris residing underneath. This will be the extent of your toenail maintenance unless you've opted for polish, wrap, or other upgrades.

If it is your first time you'll probably have a lot of skin on the bottom of your feet that will need to be removed. This is done using a pumice stone or a scrubbing lotion/solution. This is often referred to as "buffing". Depending on the amount of skin you have built up on the bottom of your feet will determine how long this process takes. Oftentimes following your foot buff your pedicurist will follow up with lotion and a massage of your foot, ankle and calf area. Just a short relaxing massage of your lower leg and foot area. This will get your blood flow moving and re-energize you.

Your pedicure may also finalize with some oil for your nails or if you wear open toed shoes a nail polish or nail art. The polish and nail art will be an additional charge and may even include using jewels. Having attractive looking feet is essential for the summer time or for special occasions. 

That is the pedicure process in a nutshell.
