Pedicure

A pedicure is care for the feet and toenails. The feet soak in warm water, the therapist shapes the toenails, tidies the cuticles, softens and smooths hard skin on the heels, massages the feet and lower legs and applies polish. A gel pedicure ends with gel colour cured under a lamp instead of ordinary polish.

Allow about an hour, a little more for gel. Polish on the toes lasts longer than on the hands because the feet do less work: ordinary polish often holds for two weeks or more, gel for four weeks or longer.

Hamd Beauty offers a classic pedicure and a gel pedicure at home. The therapist brings a tub with a fresh liner and single-use files, buffers and toe separators for every client. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or an open wound on the foot, ask your doctor before booking any pedicure. This is general information, not medical advice.
