A Spring in your Step

A Spring in your Step
If you have dry or cracked skin, ingrown nails, calluses, or warts, this is the pedicure for you.
First, your feet are left to soak in warm water. Once the skin is soft, then your feet are filed and scrubbed, and the nails are trimmed. The best part is the massage. Your feet are massaged with a foaming cream. There are different creams for different skin types, as all feet are unique. After- wards, you can choose a nail polish colour if you like, but it is recommended that you let your nails breathe without polish for at least a few months over the winter.
“It is important that people not feel embarrassed to come in,” says Marge, pedicure technician, after telling me about a woman that had trimmed her toenails before coming to the salon. “When you come in, we treat your symptoms, and tell you how to care for your feet at home.”
Marge recommends having a pedicure about once a month, but if time limits this, then every two months. “People tend to only think about their feet when sandal season arrives,” says Marge. “But you have to look at your feet every day, so why not keep them looking their best!”
