Pedicure

Rejuvenation treatment for the feet.

What can it do for you?

Our feet carry us every day where ever we go. Feet are exposed to outside factors is summer when we wear open shoes and enclosed during winter in our boots. Pedicures are done for cosmetic, therapeutic, and medical purposes and can help prevent nail diseases and nail disorders.

They are popular throughout the world, especially among women. However, salons have seen a recent increase in the number of men that are getting pedicures as well.

How does it work?

This is a cosmetic treatment of the feet and toenails. Pedicures include care not only for toenails; dead skin cells are rubbed off the bottom of the feet, using a rough stone (often a pumice stone) or other material. Skin care is often provided up to the knee, including granular exfoliation, moisturizing, and massage.

Some pedicures can include the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or French style. Other nail treatments may include the application of artificial nail gel.

What is the difference between a normal nail polish, gel polish en French paint?
