Hello gang! I know this post is an older one, but I am looking into a pedicure set up again. I need your advice and suggestions. I did search the list for Footsie baths, Belava and Brookstone - the Brookstone looks great, but the reviews aren't so good...... How does this tub empty? I have a HUGE rolling spa pedicure tub with jets and the whole thing (European Touch I believe) and it's just too much. I have to roll the unit clear to a back room (I am in a fitness center) through the exercise area, and drain it, sanitize it, etc.. it's taking me 2 hrs to have a pedicure on my book. I want a simple solution but the Brookstone seems like it might have the same challenges? I am also looking for a good COMFY chair, no massage, just something they can relax in - I'm hoping my fellow techs will chime in and give me lots of great advice like always :) I'd also love your suggestions for the best pedicure products right now (a wonderful SMELL is very important!)
Have a good one!
