When they use proper foot files, and do a good scrub on your feet and legs, ohhh heaven. Do give it a go :) Kalila: Good! A foot file would do much better than a shaver. It's safer too! Beetrice: Exactly! I remembered hobbling in pain during our last-minute shopping, and that was no fun. Nikki: There you go, confirmation from the nail queen herself! :P Daphne: I know, me too! I was really hoping the pedicurist would be gentle with the shaver. And she was, but in the end, my heels felt like poorly-peeled carrots. Oooh doctor fishes, eh? Would love to give them a go. I'll make sure to bring something to bite on in case it gets too ticklish :P Prettybeautiful: So far, the nail salons I've been to do not use corn planes. I saw that they had it, but am really thankful they never used it, even with my super hard crackly heels. Phew. Caroline: Ahh nothing like a good hot soak in water with bath salts and/or essential oils .... hmmmm ... Vonvon:

She bought this <a href="http://www.mybath.biz/servlet/the-381/Pedicure-Massage-Chair-with/Detail" rel="nofollow">Pedicure Massage Chair</a> for the simple reason that it has ozone sterilization.

A friend of mine who "does feet" suggested that I look into buying one of my own! Now, I may consider doing it myself as I know how well it has been sterilized! I typically do my own feet anyway just to save on the money...don't get me wrong- I do so love having it done "professionally". Anyway- I just soak my feet really well with hot water and essential oils, wrap hot towels around them while I read a good magazine. Pumice them, add my ultimate favorite Topricin foot cream (all natural awesome stuff for tired, achy or callused feet), and Voila! They feel amazing :) Thanks for the enjoyable article...liking your blog! Caroline Oh wow…that does sound awful! A friend of mine who “does feet” suggested that I look into buying one of my own!
