Pedicure

Ok on the off chance that I'll sound like a girl, I'm looking for pedicure advice!

I used to have problems with my feet in my teenage years, ingrown toenails, and the doctors wanted to remove them surgically in hopes that they will grow back fine. My parents brought me to a pedicure salon and over the next few months they've sorted my feet out.

As it turns out a friend of mine had the same problem, went down the surgical route and after months of pain while his toenails were growing back ended up with the same ingrown toenail problem!

Now this was abroad where it's not strange to have men in pedicure salons

Thankfully I haven't had any problems since, but I would like to take proper care of my feet, especially considering all the running I do and the bashing they get.

I'm not looking to get my toenails painted or anything like that, just a proper pedicure. Can anyone recommend a place?

Pedicures are more like manicures - for prettifying the feet.

What you need is a chiropodist/podiatrist.

A chiropodist/podiatrist would have different and more relevant training to a beautician. The beautician makes your feet look and smell good, the podiatrist does more practical things like keep your feet in good functional order and has a bit of medical training as well.

I'd go to a podiatrist if I were you.

Thanks lads, I'll give one of the places in town a go, sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

Might try the place on Westland Row first, since they're a chiropodist as well. And I'm glad there's a choice!
