Advanced Pedicures
An advanced pedicure is a specialized foot care service designed for clients with more complex or neglected foot conditions. This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing concerns such as calluses, cracked heels, ingrown or damaged nails, nail lifting (onycholysis) or excessive foot buildup.
It is especially beneficial for those dealing with discomfort, foot pain, or conditions like athlete’s foot, as well as for clients who may feel self-conscious about the appearance of their feet.
Our approach is gentle, hygienic, and non-judgmental—focused on restoring both comfort and confidence. Whether you’ve never had a pedicure before or your feet simply need extra care, this service provides a safe and effective solution tailored to your needs.
Problems We Help With:
Ingrown Nails
Ingrown nails are very common and, if trimmed the wrong way, may cause pain and discomfort along the sides of the nails. They can also become inflamed, irritated, and worsen over time if not properly treated.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete’s foot is a common condition that affects the skin, often causing itching, redness, and peeling between the toes. It can spread easily in warm, moist environments and may lead to discomfort if not treated properly.
Cracked Heels

Cracked heels occur when the skin on the heels becomes dry, thick, and less flexible, leading to splitting. They may cause discomfort or pain, especially when walking, and can worsen without proper care and attention to foot hygiene.
Calluses & Corns
Calluses and corns are thickened, hardened areas of skin caused by repeated friction or pressure, usually from wearing wrong shoes, forming as protective layers on feet but sometimes becoming painful, uncomfortable, and needing care or treatment
Nail Deformation
Nail deformation is an abnormal change in nail shape, texture, or growth, often caused by injury, poor circulation, or underlying disease, leading to thickened, curved, brittle, or discolored nails that may affect comfort and appearance.
Nail Separation
Onycholysis (Lifted Nail) is the partial or complete separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. It can be caused by trauma, psoriasis, irritation from chemicals, or thyroid disorders, and it often appears as a white or discolored area of the nail.
Nail Fungus
Onychomycosis (Nail Fungus) is a fungal nail infection that can cause the nail to become thickened, discolored, and brittle, sometimes leading to a lifted nail that separates from the nail bed, causing discomfort and possible damage to nail structure.
Keratoderma
Keratoderma is a skin condition characterized by thickened, rough, and hardened skin, especially on the palms and soles, caused by excess keratin buildup. It may be inherited or acquired and can sometimes lead to discomfort or cracking.
Horn Nails
Horn nails (Onychogryphosis) is a condition in which the nail becomes abnormally thick, hard, and curved, resembling a horn-like shape. It usually develops from long-term pressure, repeated trauma, fungal infection, or certain skin diseases affecting normal nail growth and structure.
Thick Skin
Hyperkeratosis (Thick Skin) is a skin condition characterized by excessive thickening of the outer layer of the skin due to overproduction of keratin. It often develops from repeated pressure, friction, inflammation, or chronic irritation and may cause rough, hardened areas.
Nail Injuries
Nail injuries include various conditions such as bruising, splitting, lifting, or cracking of the nail caused by trauma. These injuries can affect nail appearance, growth, and comfort, sometimes requiring care to restore healthy nail function.
Diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes caused by poor circulation and nerve damage, resulting in numbness, tingling, dryness, ulcers, and slow healing, which increases risk of infections and tissue damage.
Diabetic Foot
Pitted Keratolysis
Pitted keratolysis is a common, treatable superficial skin condition affecting the soles of the feet. It causes small, crater-like pits and noticeable odor. The condition develops when bacteria, such as Corynebacterium, thrive in warm, moist, sweaty environments and break down the outer skin layer.
Nail Psoriasis
Toenail psoriasis is a form of Psoriasis causing thickened, pitted nails, yellow or brown “oil-spot” discoloration, and separation from the nail bed (onycholysis). It may mimic Onychomycosis and can lead to worsening nail damage if not properly treated.
Onychorrhexis
Onychorrhexis is brittle nails characterized by longitudinal ridging and splitting along the nail plate often caused by aging, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, or systemic disease, leading to fragile nails that break easily and may worsen over time.
Thimble deformity (nail pitting) is the appearance of tiny pinpoint depressions on the nail surface, resembling a thimble. It is a type of nail dystrophy often associated with dermatological conditions, most commonly psoriasis, but also atopic dermatitis, eczema, and other inflammatory skin disorders.
