 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).
