I'm with Laura...I use the Footsie Bath and am SO glad I do. I did try a waterless pedi and hated it. Guess they're not for everyone. Can't see myself ever switching to waterless, honestly.
Do you wear gloves? I wear gloves for all pedis. If someone came in with foot issues like you described, I'd definitely not do the pedi without gloves.
