The mention of a pedicure conjures up images of a steamy foot spa bubbling in front of a massage chair, while you lie back and let your feet soak in the water.

But did you know that if you ditch the water and go get a soakless pedicure at Hygeian Hand & Foot Refinery, you will receive an exclusive, professional service that has proven to be more sanitary, healthier for your feet and provide a longer-lasting pedicure?

How is a soakless pedicure given at Hygeian Hand & Foot Refinery?

At Hygeian, highly qualified and professional nail techs provide great customer service as they give the soakless spa pedicure to their clients who lie in a zero-gravity chair feeling weightless. All the perks of a traditional spa pedicure are given, including massage and warm towel service to create a relaxing, luxurious experience.

To soak or not to soak

A traditional pedicure using a foot spa and a soakless pedicure can provide the same end results, but the difference is the use of a foot spa.

While traditionally popular, soaking pedicures have been under the magnifying glass recently for the many microorganisms that lurk in the hard-to-disinfect places of the tub.

While most nail techs do disinfect their foot spa, tiny organisms can set up house in the intake screens and tubes. Bacteria collects and grows in these hard-to-reach areas and form thick layers of cells and proteins that become difficult to remove.

The heated water provides a perfect breeding ground for various bacteria, specifically mycobacterium fortuitum, a microorganism found most often in water and soil. It is a fast-growing bacteria that causes infections, such as local skin disease and osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone), and can lead to serious health issues.

Simply put, a warm bubbly foot soak isn’t worth risking the health of your feet.

In contrast, soakless pedicures are a sterile treatment, and nail techs at Hygeian provide fresh hot steam towels and fully sterilized equipment for each customer.
