Did you know when you go for a pedicure you should NOT shave your legs? Shaving opens up all your pores and if those pedicure tubs are not clean you are very susceptible to infection. Google pedicure Infections. It may seem crazy but even lives have been lost.
Take it from someone who does pedicures, we don't care if you shave your legs or not, but if you have hairy toes--that's something to consider. That said, truly take good look at the salon & how they set up the station before you even put your feet in the footbath! You are a paying customer, speak up! Also, check the posted health grade. And yes, often you get what you pay for. Your main concern should be contacting toenail fungus!

Well, I'm set. I rarely shave my legs. Absolutely unnecessary.
