How Frequently Should You Get A Pedicure?
The answer to this question hugely depends on your lifestyle and needs. If you play sport regularly or are on your feet all day for your job, you’ll need more regular pedicures to maintain the benefits. However, if you have an office job and are sat down most of the day, you may be able to go a little longer between treatments.
We usually recommend coming in for pedicures every three to four weeks. But if you’d like to come in more or less often, that’s totally fine too. You may find you want more regular treatments in the summertime when your feet are out on display, but less frequent treatments during the winter when your feet are covered most of the time.
