Pati, THAT is a great idea! To store the footbath under the platform. I have been toying with the idea of a platform mostly because I will be 50 this year and I know that getting down on the floor will start to "get old." (Lol) I have a Brookstone pedi spa like Michelle. I LOVE it and so do my clients. I am going to steal your idea! I am excited for your salon. PS- I will take up your offer for Scramble on Facebook when I get my new laptop. I had the kids take the one back they got me for Mother's Day so I can get a Mac this summer when Apple has their special sale. My N key on my laptop fell off so I would never have the speed for the game. What great ideas you send! Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

When I started at the salon...I gave it (sold it? don't remember) to Stephanie Ruggiero...who I think still has it.... The reason?I am not doing that now is there is so much work for him to do in the nail room and "our" part...that I can't ask him to do more...and the price is right for this one.? Maybe I will buy a massage pad and it might make it more comfortable for the clients.... ?Pati Everyone has a photographic memory.

All it was was basically a wooden box that was high enough to be comfortable that you did have to bend over and have feet in your lap. I had a nice wicker chair on there and of course my foot bath - but you could put any nice comfy chair on top of it. I actually had one of those pedi. carts that had the foot rest attached and he cut the foot rest part off and attached it to the box and then I had the cart part to sit on. I covered the box with some nice stick on tiles. For me it was a cheap idea that worked out really, really well. HTH!

The kind that is the chair and a foot rest and has a place for the footbath...not a spa chair...how did/do you like it?? Pros...cons.... My hubby does not want me to charge a spa chair...he would rather me pay cash for it...and I keep telling him it is a vicious circle...pedis bring in money and if i don't have a setup then I can't do them.....I think this is a good compromise...I found a "brand new" one that i can get for 225.00 (cheapest i have found online was 399. with 85.00 S+H) the 225.00 I can pick up in the city so no s+h charge either.... > Now?I need to know about foot baths...is the footsie one still the best??
