Pedicures

Originating from the Latin words ‘pedis’, meaning ‘of the foot’, and ‘cura’ meaning ‘care’, a pedicure is a cosmetic treatment of the feet. It’s not just all about painting your nails, in fact, that is not necessary at all. A pedicure is a comprehensive treatment of your feet and is suitable for both men and women. It involves cutting, trimming and shaping your toenails, tending to your cuticles, exfoliating, hydrating and massaging your feet, and, if desired, painting your toenails.

Why have a pedicure?

Pedicures are done for therapeutic, medical and cosmetic reasons. Your feet take on a lot throughout the hustle-and-bustle of daily life, whether that be walking on your daily commute, squeezing into ill-fitting shoes, or pushing it on your morning jogs.

Getting a pedicure is a wonderful way to pamper your feet. It can be a perfect excuse for some “me time’ to sit back and relax. Alternatively, you can catch up with friends over a pedicure.

The tidiness and cleanliness of our feet and toenails can often be neglected, especially during the winter months when they’re mostly hidden. Regular pedicures keep your feet fresh and healthy. They help prevent nail disorders like ingrown nails and can tend to excess or hardened skin on your feet.

Even though not all pedicures involve painting your nails, for those that do it can be a fun and creative way to express your sense of style.
