What it is

A cosmetic service performed on the feet by a licensed cosmetologist or nail professional. Can include exfoliating the skin and callus reduction, as well as trimming, shaping and polishing toenails; a pedicure often includes foot massage and can have luxury add-ons for a more specialist treatment such as paraffin wax, heated booties, masques.

How to use

Provide cosmetic care such as toenail shaping, polish and appropriate care of intact skin within your training and local scope. Suspected infection, wounds or other medical concerns need qualified assessment rather than cosmetic treatment.
