What Makes a Great Pedicure

 Great Pedicure

Keeping your feet clean and healthy is very important, you spend so much time on them and sore feet can ruin your day. Pedicures are a great way to keep your feet healthy as well as attractive. A good pedicure should be relaxing and not at all painful. If you do have any problems during the pedicure, tell the pedicurist to stop because it should be relaxing experience.

A good pedicure should be personalized because everybody’s feet are different. You should discuss with your pedicurist what you want before the pedicure.

Some necessities of a good pedicure are listed below:

  • They should give you a foot spa to soften the skin and nails as well as get you relaxed. This makes it easier to cut the nails as well as easier to exfoliate the soles of your feet getting rid of dead skin cells.
  • Lotions and creams should be massaged into your feet to moisturize and soften the skin. Some pedicurists can give acupressure foot massages as well to add to the relaxation, a deep massage can help any pains.
  • Then they will cut and shape your toenails. Make sure that you tell them beforehand what shape you are wanting.
  • At the end of the pedicure they will usually massage your feet and lower legs as well as give you another soak in the foot spa to rinse off some of the lotions and creams.
  • Then they will paint your nails, or if you wanted anything fancy you might get a nail artist to finish your pedicure. Also remember that though your own shop-bought nail polish might take less then five minutes to dry, professional nail polish can take up to 12 hours to be completely dry. Make sure that you wear open footwear for the rest of the day as a precaution.

 

Many different pedicures are offered these days in spas and nail parlors. The difference between the types of pedicures may be the shape and colour of the nail, to the use of special oils and creams. Some of the more common or popular manicures are listed below.

French Pedicure – The toenail is usually cut quite square for this style but you can choose to have it rounded. The body of the toenail is painted with clear or ivory coloured nail polish, then the tip is painted pure white. It gives a very classy and sophisticated look.

Paraffin Wax Pedicure – In this pedicure, warm wax is massaged into the toenails, feet and ankles. It is very relaxing and it nourishes and softens the skin and nails.

Luxury Pedicure – This is a full foot pedicure. It includes a foot massage, followed by paraffin wax and hot towels or wraps. It hydrates and softens the toenails as well as relaxing the muscles in your feet.
