Having your nails done used to mean paying a visit to your local manicurist. Today, as often as not, it means seeing a pedicurist.
Salons now do one pedicure for every three manicures.
As little as 15 years ago, manicures outsold pedicures 10 to one. Concerns about feeling good probably contribute as much to this trend as concerns about looking good. With the return of women to the workforce, tired and sore feet have become more commonplace and so has the concern with healthy feet. Salons and cosmetic companies even offer masks to smooth, moisturize and refresh the foot. As with any other treatment, you should take proper precautions.
