FAQ.

  • What will happen on my first visit?
    We will first obtain a brief medical history and your consent for care. We take the time to understand your concerns regarding your feet and the goals you have. A thorough skin assessment will be performed on your lower legs and feet. The initial visit typically takes 30-45 minutes and will include trimming, filing, and thinning your toenails. We will also reduce any corn and calluses you may have.
  • Can I receive foot care if my feet have been neglected and they are in "bad" condition?
    Of course! We want to help! This is the purpose of our care team.
  • Can I make an appointment if I have diabetes?
    Yes, please make an appointment. Individuals with diabetes have an increased risk for foot problems and should be seen on a regular basis for foot care.
  • Do you sterilize tools?
    All supplies used are sterilized before use with each client.
  • Do you accept insurance or Medicare?
    No, we do not. Our self-pay policy allows us to keep cost down for everyone. Some insurances pay for routine foot care services. If you would like to compare our costs with a podiatry visit, please contact your local podiatrist and insurance provider.
  • How do I make an appointment for myself, my parent or grandparent?
    Please call us at (719) 300-5500 or book online to schedule an appointment.
  • What if I need to cancel or change my appointment?
    Please call us as soon as you know & we will help accommodate you. We have a 24 hour no show/late cancellation policy. Late cancellations or no shows may incur fees.
  • Do I need to soak my feet before my service?
    No. Please do not soak your feet before your appointment. This makes the nails softer and more difficult to trim.
  • How are you different than a podiatrist?
    Podiatrists diagnose and treat conditions of the foot & ankle. Some podiatrist will perform routine foot care services such as nail trimming. This may be billed through insurance or it may be billed to you directly. Please discuss this with your local podiatrist. We are here as an option for your foot care services. We will make recommendations for further medical attention if we encounter anything that is beyond our scope of practice.
  • I get a pedicure at the nail salon is this safe?
    We understand the relaxation a good pedicure can provide. Nail technicians are trained to relax and beautify. Some nail technicians have received extra training to provide services to the high risk client such as the seniors. Pedicures can be risky for the senior demographic. Thinning skin changes, medical conditions such as diabetes and poor circulation can put seniors at an increased risk of infection. We encourage you to do your own research into the salon you choose.
  • Do you polish nails?
    No, we do not. As a medical based company, our focus is on the health & wellness of the feet. Nail polish can conceal and harbor bacteria.
  • I have polish on my toenails, will you remove this?
    Yes, we will remove all non-gel polish. We want to see your nail plate to examine the health of the nail.
  • I have gel polish on, can you provide a service to me?
    We ask that before coming to us for any service, please visit a salon for removal of gel polish. We can cut your nails but we will not be able to file your nails with our E-file as the gel polish ruins the burrs we use. In addition, it takes too long for the removal of gel in our clinic settings for us to perform this service.
