I started 2 weeks ago doing waterless pedi's and it is the LOVE!!!! Most of my peeps I could tell were apprehensive, but once they felt their feet BEFORE I massaged lotion on them, they were convinced. This is far more moisturizing than using water, but if I hadn't tried it myself I would never have believed it. Don't let anyone tell you that you need a big whirlpool jetted throne or even a small portable pedi tub to do a great pedi, because it's just not true!
On my site www.jillsnails.com there is a photo of the chair set up I use, which is the same one I've been using for years. I put a big easy chair (minus the ottoman it came with) up on 4"x4" blocks to give it some height. That way the clients' foot can rest easily on my knee. To fit in with the new salon colors, I used a shabby-chic method of arranging a chenille bed spread over the chair, as olive green chair color would not match the new wall paint. I'm on the lookout for a used recliner, but I'm waiting for just the right color, size and price. This will cut out the need for the client to lift and lower their feet as I work on each one. In the meantime, I tweaked Jaime Schrabeck's waterless spa pedi steps to help make the flow of the waterless pedi system work for my set up. Give it some thought and you can make it work for you, too!
