End-of-summer pedicure review late August 2026: repair feet before school

1. End-summer diagnosis — 4 recurrent damages

After 3 months of sandals + summer activities, we observe:

• Heel calluses thickened — cobblestone walking, hiking, flat sandals.
• Healed blisters — outer foot edge, summer-shoe friction.
• Weakened nails — shocks, chlorine, sea salt, prolonged polish.
• Mild sub-ungual haematomas — hiking descents, sport.

Free diagnosis at start of treatment. If painful haematoma: podiatrist referral.

2. End-summer SPA Luxe pedicure

Our SPA Luxe pedicure 50 min, €70 in end-summer mode:

1. Cool mint + camphor bath 10 min — decongestion.
2. Heel + outer-foot + corn callus filing 10 min.
3. Healed-blister care: repair cream + healing balm.
4. Drainage massage foot → ankle 10 min.
5. Hydrating mask 10 min — applied and left to penetrate, supple skin again.
6. Cut + file + cream + OPI back-to-school semi-permanent (plum, burgundy, pearl grey).

3. Why end-August timing is crucial

September back-to-school feet = radical change:

• Closed shoes all day (8-10h).
• Heels back (women), leather office shoes (men).
• Urban cobblestone walking, metro, transit.
• Reduced ventilation — increased shoe humidity.

If residual heel calluses or untreated healed blisters: September pain, amplified friction. The 30 August pedicure = prevention.

4. Booking and home advice

Direct booking on our calendar. 28-31 August activity peak — allow 24-48h notice. Salon open Sunday 30 August 10am-8pm.
