* If anything about the place looks less than sanitary - keep walking. Find a place that’s spotless.
* Don’t shave your legs. The EPA says you should avoid any hair removal for 24 hours prior to your pedicure. Subtle abrasions can allow bacteria or fungus to get in.
* Don’t let the pedicure technician cut or push back your cuticles. Those protective barriers are there for a reason.
* It’s okay to smooth rough heels with a pumice or foot file - just don’t let them pull the razor tool out. That can overly expose your protective sole and even cause permanent damage.
Pay attention to your feet in the days and weeks following your pedicure. Any unusual itching, discoloration or outbreaks could mean trouble and will need to be addressed.
