Pedicure

Service Description

WHAT IS A PEDICURE TREATMENT? A Pedicure is a foot treatment that promotes overall foot and nail health. A pedicure is similar to a manicure with the main difference being that a pedicure is strictly for the feet, while a manicure is done for the hands. The term pedicure comes from the Latin word "pedi" meaning foot and "cure" meaning care. A pedicure helps foot health by preventing a number of nail diseases and disorders when done regularly.
