That sounds so relaxing. Love the pariffin. I tried putting the wax in a baggie first and spilled it out when I tried to put it on the foot. Luckily it was my daughter. She didn't appriciate the wax all over her new volleyball pants. What baggies do you use? How do you rinse your hands after using the scrub?

This is what I do most of the time. Sometimes I change the order slightly. Place wet towels in towel cabbie to heat up. Seat client and spray feet with an antibacterial footspray & wipe dry. Clip and file nails. Apply cuticle treatment or solar oil on cuticles. File callous with efile and Medicool bits. Use a sugar scrub on feet and lower legs. (one right after the other) (From this point I'm working on one leg/foot) *Remove towel from cabbie and wrap the towel around foot & leg, allowing it to steam the entire area. *Remove scrub with hot moist towel, cleaning between toes. *Massage the lower leg and foot. *Apply paraffin to the foot in a plastic bag. *Place the foot in a fluffy bootie to steep while working on other leg/foot. (Now I move to the second leg/foot) And repeat the * steps. (Move back to 1st leg/foot) Remove fluffy bootie. Remove the paraffin bag. Push cuticles. Clean the perimeter of the nail of cuticle particles with the Medicool small diamond ball bit. Clean under the free edge. Using an ingrown toenail file, slightly round the corners of the great toenail. Buff the nail surface with a fine buffer block (I cut a buffer block into 4 = pieces, then cut each in half diagonally to make 8 pieces per block) Scrub the nail with ScrubFresh or alcohol. Apply basecoat, 2 coats of polish and topcoat. Depending on the situation, I polish the nails to allow each coat a bit of time to dry before adding the next coat.

Congratulations, Jill! I've been doing waterless pedi's for about 3 years. I printed the directions from a 2002 post I found on nailtech. I thought about doing them for 5 years, till I was forced to do them due to a lack of a large sink. I'll never go back. The owner, where I am now, tried to discourage me from doing waterless. She said she has a reputation to support and that clients want that soak in warm, swirling water. I stood my ground and my new clients appreciate what I do. She spent $10,000 to install 2 pedi thrones, so I understand her wanting me to use them. But they have been used by numerous techs over the past 5 years and I don't know how well they cared for the pedi thrones. Besides, soaking in water for 15 or 20 minutes is so drying for the skin and nails soak up the water....up to 30% in that amount of time. Marsha Rubino Gimme Nails @ Skin Envy Day Spa 38 First Ave E.

Just thought I'd let you all know how glad I am that I took Jaime Schrabeck's "waterless pedicures" class 2 years ago! For over a week, my back has steadily hurt worse and worse (thanks to that speeding driver that rear ended us in June 2009, 2 weeks before the Smoky Mtn. Networking Event). I was popping Aleve, Ibuprofin, and muscle relaxers, in addition to using ice packs and heating pads with almost no relief. I also was taking arnica tablets that the local Amish folk use for muscle aches, too! I couldn't think of anything that I did to strain it, other than walk the dogs once and lift heavy pedi tubs multiple times a day. In my new location, I have to carry the pedi tub much, much farther. So this week I decided to try doing waterless pedi's and I used my husband as my guinea pig. I'm still tweaking my routine, but I've almost got it down pat. Now, going into Friday tomorrow, I've hardly had to take any pain pills today since making this change!!! Plus, I know you'll find this hard to believe......I've met no resistance from my clients AND their feet are even softer when I finish a waterless pedi than they were when I used water. Thank God that my back is on the mend!! If you've ever thought about trying waterless pedi's, I highly recommend them.
