What does pedicure service include?
A pedicure is a treatment performed for cosmetic as well as medical purposes on the feet and nails.
When talk about pedicure, many people think it is only about polishing toenails. However, that is just a half of the story. Toenails will be trimmed and shaped, in some cases, we need to even remove the in-side-out nail that is causing pain to customers’ toe’ tips.
A standard pedicure process must include dead skin cells removal, which is rubbed off the bottom of the feet using a specialized stone. Also, feet massage and exfoliation are necessary to soften and smoothen your skin.
After nails are trimmed and shaped, dead skin is softened and removed by use of an exfoliating stone, and cuticles are pushed back with a steel instrument. The feet are soaked in warm water to which various kinds of oil may be added. Exfoliation can also be done using an electric foot file or pumice stone. Various creams, lotions, gels, and perfumes are used after pedicuring.
