Spa Pedicure Training-Workshop

Refrain from shaving your legs. Be warned against shaving, using hair removal creams, or waxing your legs and feet during the 24 hours before getting a pedicure. Hair removal can cause cuts or subtle abrasions that you don’t even notice on your feet.

You might want to bring your own pedicure tools. Bacteria and fungus can easily move from one client to the next on pedicure utensils that haven’t been properly sterilized. Bringing your own tools will eliminate that risk. Some tools, like nail buffers and emery boards, can’t be sterilized. Even in the most pristine salons, these tools may not be replaced after each customer.

Inside the salon, take a look around. Do the surfaces and water where clients put their feet appear sanitary? If they look dirty, find another place to get a pedicure. Also, check out the bathroom. If the bathrooms are dirty, that’s a clue that the pedicure salon may not have high hygiene standards. Don't hesitate to ask about the salon’s disinfecting procedures. Footbaths should be washed and drained with disinfectant between clients and every night, and pedicure instruments should be soaked in disinfectant between clients. Footbaths and instruments that aren’t properly disinfected could harbor bacteria and fungus that can cause infections to the feet.
