Do you offer a medical pedicure?

No. A medical pedicure means foot care delivered by a nurse, a podiatrist or another qualified health professional, and we are none of those. Red Orchid is a cosmetic foot-care studio. What that rules in: mild cracks, mild calluses and corns, ordinary hardened skin, safe thinning and shortening of thickened nails, and a limited number of moderate areas. What it rules out: open or bleeding cracks, inflammation, infection or pus, deep corn cores, and anything the technician does not judge safe for cosmetic work. Where you need someone else, we say so and point you to the right person — a family doctor or dermatologist for fungus, infection, warts or an unexplained skin or nail change; a podiatrist for a painful or advanced ingrown nail, a deep corn, a marked deformity or partial nail removal; a doctor or diabetic foot-care nurse for diabetes, reduced sensation, poor circulation, ulcers or non-healing damage.

Why is the sole care done dry?

The disc has to grip: on dry skin it works cleanly and predictably, which lets the technician judge how much has come off and stop at the right point. Pedicures here are done dry, with no foot soak. Chemical callus removers are not part of the standard Sole Care technique.

Can I book if I have diabetes, or an ingrown toenail?

We do not perform a pedicure over active infection, bleeding, ulceration, pus, significant swelling, an open wound, or a painful inflamed ingrown nail. Diabetes alone is not an automatic refusal. Reduced sensation, impaired circulation, non-healing damage or other elevated-risk factors may require medical clearance first. Where there is no pain, wound, swelling or infection, the technician may carefully clean the free edge and the lateral nail groove. We do not cut the corner deeply and we do not claim to treat an ingrown nail. At any sign of inflammation the client is referred to a physician or podiatrist.

How often should I book a pedicure?

It follows the feet, not the calendar. While a marked condition is being brought down, roughly every two weeks; at moderate condition, about three; once the skin has stabilized, five to six weeks is the honest interval. With regular care, feet may gradually need less intensive work — the pattern we plan around, not a promise. Coating runs on its own schedule, and it is always booked as part of a pedicure, never on its own.

How do you keep a pedicure hygienic?

Every tool goes through mechanical cleaning, an ultrasound wash, hospital-grade disinfectant and steam autoclave sterilization, and your kit is opened from a new sealed pouch in front of you. Files and buffers are single-use, and pedicure abrasives are single-use on sterilized metal bases. Nothing is worked over infection, an open wound or an inflamed ingrown nail.

Toenails after preparation, shaped and cleaned, before any colour goes on.

Neon pedicure in pink, green, orange and yellow, with a hand-painted yellow heart and a smiling face with lashes on the big toes.

Flat colour on the remaining toes is what keeps the two drawn nails legible. On feet, fine detail disappears at walking distance.

The story behind it

Four neon shades — pink, green, orange and yellow — spread across both feet, one colour per toe. Two nails carry a drawing: a yellow heart outlined on the hot-pink big toe, and a face with closed eyes and a pink smile on the green one.

Toe coating goes on thin. Toes need no architecture, and a thin layer stays comfortable in closed shoes.

Technician's note

Spa Pedicure first: dry work, disc technique, warm towels, scrub with a short scrub massage, cream massage and cuticle oil. Then gel polish in four neon shades, applied thin. Both drawings are freehand.
