Marlene, I don't do them either. I use a foot bath but would like to switch to the waterless pedicure. Do you do pedicures now? There are several on here that do them. I do a quick pedicure once in a while without water and this is what I do... -spray foot spray -remove polish -trim toenails -apply cuticle remover -push back cuticles -buff and file toenails -file calluses -apply foot cream (no massage) -wipe nails with cleanser -polish I would like to get rid of the foot bath and replace it with warm moist towels but haven't figured out how to convince my clientele and what routine would work best yet. I am tired of cleaning the foot bath and carrying it back and forth. I am also tired of buying new ones all the time. I love the ones from Brookstone. They are $100.00 and I am on my forth one in less then two years and it is leaking now. I would like to find a large pretty tub just to put warm water in for those who really need the soak and have tough toenails. Hope this helps. Lynnette and Arpi and several others on here could probably help you more. They do them all the time.
