Tips for choosing pedicure chairs

If you own a salon that offers pedicures, you will want to invest wisely in pedicure spa chairs.  Even though these chairs can be expensive, if you purchase the right ones at the first time , they will last for several years.  Because of this, purchasing higher-end chairs tends to help you saving money in the long run.

 Typically, the pedicurechairs have cupholders, magazine racks, and special jet streams that massage the feet. They are built to massage client’s back when they receive a pedicure. To choose the best chair, you most likely will need to keep all of these features in mind, as well as quality, durability, and craftsmanship.

Following are some tips that will guide you well enough and make the task of choosing a right pedicure chair for yourself very easy.

1       An option that you might want to consider in your search is to observe as many chairs as you can in as many different salons as possible. Keep an eye out for customer discomfort as he or she steps into the chair. Also, observe the comfort and relaxation levels of the customer as he or she sits in the chair during the pedicure. An uncomfortable chair can be a damage to both the customer and the business.

2       Salon owners whose main concern is turning over as many customers as possible in a given day might consider purchasing pedicurechairs that will help create a client base. Typically, owners will have to choose a chair based on cost. The number of pedicure chairs in these type of salons can range anywhere from two to 35, or more.

3       For a more luxury-oriented spa, you might consider a high-end model, such as  The iSpa has speakers and an iPod dock built-in to the egg-shaped chair, which also provides the mandatory massage or the Forte, which has an auto massage cycle, or the iSpa, which doubles as an entertainment and learning center.. Future models are promising to have a built-in laptop table and Internet connection, as well.

4       Not all pedicure chairs are created equal. Many of the lower-end chairs have piped tubs that have a history of not draining completely, thereby trapping residue from the previous pedicure. This type of chair can result in an environment that could promote infection. The best pedicure chair, no matter how ergonomic and comfortable, could chase customers away if they know it carries unsanitary water.

5       If you are the owner of a spa or salon, you can usually find the best pedicure chair for your business on the Internet.  If you are aiming to be a luxury-oriented spa, then you might consider purchasing a chair with more features; if you are only interested in high customer turnover, then you might consider a model with fewer options.

This might help you through the whole process of choosing the right pedicure chair for yourself.

Pedicure for rough dry cracked feet

You should if you're not skilled to do it yourself at home. I think it's really easy to adopt this simple procedure. I always pamper my feet at home, by soaking them, scrubbing with Freeman's Peppermint&Plum Creamy Pumice because it smells great, daily while in the shower. It's really just an extra minute or two, but very important. I sometimes use a fine foot file, too, or any sort of pumice. But the scrub and then the cream (I also use Freeman's Barefoot) is pure enjoyment. I can't stand any kind of socks overnight, but for a couple of hours, OK, and the effect is as good. 
Try your own home pedicure and you'll get used to it. A pedicure will help soften your feet and make them feel much better, but its not going to completely get rid of the dryness and cracks. So if you want one go for it.

DO not use Vaseline. 
This is 100% pure petroleum - and despite what everyone thinks this product is not effective with dry skin it hardens you instead of softening you - so find a good pumice stone 
and make a scrub with olive oil, kosher salt, and soak feet and scrub - you can bring the stone in the shower and proceed with the stone.. after the shower apply only PURE and natural creams like an herbal foot cream (found at bed bath beyond) or a drug store - (I use Arbonne's) 

If you keep on top of the pedicure in no time your feet should be better.. before bed soak feet with the scrub, apply cream and add socks .

There is an oil you can get at Walmart called crack crème. It really works if used every day and you can try using a heel file daily too.

Believe it or not soaking your feet, applying lotion and keeping your socks on while you sleep, you could use paraffin wax as they use for rough hands, and last of all Avon has a great product just for feet Pedicure it exfoliates the dry skin. Best of luck Drink lots of water! And of course go for the pedicure, they are wonderful and the technician can identify any other problems, fungus etc. and soften your skin, treat yourself.
