thanks :) i guess what i really wanted to know was how you polished on nasty toes ;) but i see that polish is not really part of it when you do the callus one only. thanks again denise In a message dated 11/14/2008 9:20:09 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Denise Usually these are peeps like on my site.. I swab with alcohol all areas to be filed. Break the callus first w/ course side of file ( or whatever you use) Spray with H-18 (or whatever you use) let sit for a min then file away. sometimes I saturate cotton an apply on one foot while I file the other. I do 2 rounds of course/smooth. Sometimes I file in a little oil sometimes not. Then I use a salt scrub from knee to toes Hydrate with #3extra for cracked heels and send them on there way. Sometimes I will freshen the polish with a top coat. Then they come in 2 weeks for the full meal deal :) If they are real callused I tell them in my consultation that they will need to see me every 2 weeks for 8 weeks before we can go to once a month. Others get a mini-2 wks a full-2 wks a min ect.....
