Best Pedicures near me in Caol, Rural Scotland

A basic pedicure covers essential nail and foot care with standard polish. A spa pedicure extends the experience with longer soaking, scrubs, masks, paraffin wax, and an extended massage. Premium services may also include gel polish and specialised skin treatments.

Traditionally, a pedicure begins by bathing your feet in warm water to soften the skin. An exfoliating foot rub is then used to slough off dead skin, before toenails are trimmed and shaped. Some pedicurists will massage your feet and lower legs to aid relaxation before applying a moisturising cream, oil or wrap.

The treatment ends with the application of nail polish – in your choice of colour – to your toenails. Dermatologists do not recommend the cutting of cuticles, as it can lead to infection, so ask your pedicurist to clean, but not cut, your cuticles.
