Advanced Pedicures | Healthy Nails by Bad Kitti Claws
What is an Advanced Pedicure?
While a traditional salon pedicure aims to simply clean and beautify your feet and nails, an Advanced Pedicure goes beyond this by working to prevent troublesome toenail and skin issues that cause pain, discomfort, and even anxiety for our clients. Advanced Pedicures are also recommended for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions affecting the legs and feet such as diabetes, psoriasis, and circulatory disease(s). A specially trained Advanced Nail Technician (M-ANT) will be better equipped to care for you during your service as you may require adjusted pedicure soak temperatures and duration, different skincare products, enhanced cleaning and care of the feet and nails, and modified massage techniques.

Our Advanced Pedicures are only performed by a Licensed and Certified Advanced Nail Technician holding additionally certifications in Advanced Pedicures, who specializes in addressing these foot and toenail conditions with a client-centered and compassionate approach. The goal is to restore the health and beauty of your natural nails, improve the condition of your skin, and prevent physical discomfort and anxiety over the condition of your feet and nails.

* Most clients do require a series of Advanced Pedicures to achieve their desired results, though most clients see and feel results after their first appointment. This series often consists of 3-5 appointments over a period of several months, though some clients may require additional services. This is due to the fact that toenail growth is very slow, and healthy nails take time and care to develop and grow out. Maintaining regular appointments will allow your nails to be cared for properly, be thoroughly cleaned in the areas around and under your nails, and have lingering problematic conditions addressed that will promote healthy future growth.

This includes a visual and physical assessment of your feet as well as a discussion about your nails and skin, any medical conditions that may affect your feet, and any questions or concerns you may have. Once the consultation is complete, your services can be scheduled and you are on your way to healthy and happy feet!

We are able to do most consultations over the phone or via text. This option will require several photos of your toes and toenails to be submitted to ensure we can appropriately address your areas of concern.
In very few cases, we may recommend you seek a medical assessment or treatment from a Podiatrist or Medical Doctor for your condition(s) prior to scheduling services. As we cannot treat or diagnose medical conditions, occasionally this is necessary as a condition may appear to be beyond our scope of practice. This happens very rarely, as we can usually provide services to address most conditions we see. If we ask you to seek medical care, please understand it is only in the interest of your health and well-being, as that is our main concern with our clients. Once you are medically cleared, we will be happy to provide services to you and get your feet feeling great!
Time
First off, we never rush. After your one-on-one consultation, we will discuss the length of time needed to complete your service(s). This typically will range from 60-120 minutes, and will depend on the condition(s) being addressed. We are fully committed to ensuring you leave satisfied with your services and aftercare plan, and will never rush services. We schedule appointments with plenty of space between clients in case a service takes longer than expected, and to allow ample time to thoroughly clean all equipment and surfaces.
