 What
to consider when getting a pedicures
Some women hide their feet in sneakers, loafers or sandals
that cover most of the foot. Others show their feet in thongs or skinny
sandals. Those who show their feet, and occasionally those who don’t,
may want to get a pedicure. A pedicure is a manicure for the feet. A
pedicure will usually take about 30 minutes, depending on the services
offered. A basic pedicure will include a foot soak, having the toenails
trimmed and shaped, having the cuticles trimmed and the calluses pumiced,
and finally having the toenails painted. Some salons offer extra services
such as foot massage, hot paraffin baths and even salt or kelp wraps.
The whole idea is to make the feet look as attractive as possible.
A woman considering a pedicure will probably want to see if the salon
she regularly goes to offers the service and how much it costs, along
with what services are included. If pedicures are not offered at her
regular salon, she can often look in the yellow pages to see what salons
in her area do offer them.
Pedicure prices vary depending on the salon and the services. A basic
pedicure will usually be about US$20, and prices increase from there.
One option for a less expensive pedicure may be to go to a cosmetology
school which offers beauty services to the public. A woman would probably
receive a pedicure from a senior student, and the price might be as
low as US$5-$10. Since a pedicure is much more difficult to mess up
than a haircut, a woman can probably get a pedicure at a cosmetology
school with confidence.
One other point to consider is what to wear for a pedicure. Short skirts
or short-shorts could be problematic, since the pedicurist may elevate
the legs to do the work. Pants that are easily rolled up are probably
the best option. Also, the pedicurist should receive a tip, usually
about 10-20 percent of the fee depending on the services rendered. For
especially good service or extended services, the tip should be about
30 percent.

Benefits
A pedicure can benefit you in many ways. It will help you by keeping
up with your feet and will prevent any nail diseases or nail disorders.
Especially if you have diabetes or you are not able to take care of
yourself, you could go and get someone else and they can do it for you.
Plus it will also make your feet look better.
For those with diabetes, it's very important you tell your nail technician
that you are diabetic, so the tech would be extra careful with the implements,
so as to not cut the client (diabetics sometimes have trouble clotting
and healing after a cut or bruise).
