I wholeheartedly agree with you, Diana. I use a Footsie Bath and of course that means I use water in my pedis. I tried doing a waterless pedi and realllly didn't like doing it that way. That's just my opinion of course. The client thought it was fine but not that it was any better than my other pedi. I will continue to do my pedis using my Footsie Bath. I know I've been told that it's 'healthier' although I don't see how it can necessarily be healthier to go waterless. I shower/bathe and drink the water we have here. If it's going to make me sick, I don't think it's going to be because I gave myself a pedi with water.
