Pedicure Steps: How to Give a Spa Pedicure from Soak to Color

A spa pedicure follows one order: soak, nails and cuticles, callus care, scrub, masque, massage, then color. Cre8tion has a product for each step, so the service stays consistent from chair to chair.

   Callus care

   Callus remover

   After the soak, spread Heeling Callus Remover over the callus areas. Wear gloves, let it work for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the buildup, wipe away the excess, then smooth with a nickel foot file.
