Pedicures are just as popular with men
August 4, 2010
As men’s footwear experiences a resurgence in sandals as the latest trend, male foot care has become just as popular.
No longer seen as an indulgence for just the ladies, men have begun to make up a larger portion of the clientele for high street foot clinics. London’s Marylebone-based Margaret Dabbs is one such clinic that says its clientele has become nearly 35 per cent male, up from just five per cent in 2005.
As the health benefits of adequate foot care begin to take precedent over the vanity of the process, a surge in popularity of pedicures, foot scrubs and foot treatments has been seen. At the Dabbs clinic, a one-hour long foot treatment runs around £175 and consists of hard skin removal, attention to cracked heels and dry skin, and complementary oxygen bar.
But the trend is hardly just about vanity. A properly done pedicure has been proven to offer a host of medical benefits including improved circulation, avoidance of dead and cracked skin, and better sensation in the feet later in life. According to leading podiatrists overall health can be improved with regular pedicures routinely scheduled throughout the year.
A new ASAP website has been launched to help you get all the information regarding pedicures, procedures and the ideal qualities in a good pedicurist. At pedicurist.co.uk, a host of information is available designed to help those interested in routine foot care learn the ins and outs of the process.
Most pedicurists operate out of nail salons or foot clinics having been trained during a beauty therapy course. However, there are also mobile beauty therapists as well and these can even be used to arrange private pedicure parties. Visit the site to learn more about the benefits of regular pedicures and the ways pedicurists can help your feet and your overall health on a regular basis.
