No pedicure service does not include nail art or the removal of acrylic. At this time, we do not offer toenail repairs, restorations or extensions.

Pedicures including heel work will reduce callus through use of manual heel exfoliation using an e-file, and products if needed. However, thick, deep callus' may require multiple treatments, home care or removal by a podiatrist. We cannot guarantee completed removal of callus in one appointment.

Callus forms as a protective shield on the skin when friction occurs. Removal of thick, deep callus in one ago can cause sensitivity. RBB will put the health of your skin and you comfort at top priority.

Please ensure you have none of the following conditions, as your appointment may not be able to be performed, or may not be performed in full capacity:

​

NOT TREATABLE: plantar warts, fungal nail infections, tinia pedis (athletes foot), cellulitis, onycholysis, severe koilonychia or onychogryphosis, retronychia, paronychia, onychomadesis OR ANY INFECTION

​

TREATABLE TO AN EXTENT: hyperkeratosis, corns, psoriasis, eczema, leukonychia or minor ingrown toenails.

 

If your nails are thin or damaged your polish is less likely to last.

We recommend using a foot cream daily to maintain the hydration of your heels and rest of your feet.

​

Toenails grow a lot slower than finger nails, meaning pedicures are not needed as frequently. However, when toenails get longer it can be quite dangerous to leave them unattended as they can be knocked, squeezed in shoes or face other damage. We recommend appointments every 4-6 weeks.

​

Do not pick at toenails or gel product.

​

For optimal toe nail and skin health we recommend well-fitting shoes that don't put pressure on the toenails or cause friction with the skin.

For services with colour application, we use gel polish. Gel Polish, commonly known by popular brand name "shellac", is a nail polish that sets under UV light. It is longer lasting than regular nail polish. It must be soaked off with acetone or filed off by a professional, however, it is super easy to remove as its only a polish, not an enhancement, so it is very thin. It adds no strength or length to your nails, it simply works as a colour. We do not offer standard nail polish.

For skincare, we use a combination of Footlogix and other brands for a customised treatment.

Toenails grow a lot slower than finger nails, but can be quite dangerous when long. We recommend pedicures every 4-6 weeks. We recommend waiting till at least 4 weeks so the skin replenishes itself and there is growth of the toenail to trim to get more out of your pedicure. Any longer than 6 weeks your nails can be quite long and cause pain and discomfort in shoes, this pressure can also cause onycholysis.

Most clients are suitable for gel.

Gel may not be suitable for:

- those who have allergies or skin reactions to gel products or 'HEMA'

- under 14 years of age

RBB has a 3-step decontamination process for tools. All metal implements and drill bits are cleaned, disinfected and sterilised above the local council requirements. We have a Class B, TGA-approved autoclave in salon, which offers medical level sterilisation. All single-use tools are disposed of.

Please ensure you follow the aftercare advice for your nail enhancements. If you experience issues with your nails, you may be eligible for a free fix if needed.

​

Free fixes are only available:

• if issue arises within 3 days of the appointment
• nail lifts or "pops off" naturally even after following ALL aftercare
• chipping of polish or design

​

We do not offer free fixes if:

• trauma has been occurred to nail (knocked nail, pulled off)
• minor imperfections (fluff in nail, slightly crooked nail)
• rhinestones/charms knocked off - these are not suitable for all lifestyles, especially on toes
• you have been warned that the enhancement may not last on your nails (damaged nails)

These fixes are $10+ per nail, as it can take 30mins just to fix the one nail, this cost does not include nail art.

 

Keep in mind my aftercare recommendations to prevent breakage and lifting. Also keep in mind, nail enhancements do not last as long on oily or damaged nails. I cannot work on badly damaged nails as it can cause further damage. If you arrive at an appointment with severe damaged or wounded nails, you may be only offered a Naked Pedicure.

 

During the appointment I continuously check if you're happy with the shape, length, colour etc. Costs vary due to change of mind, and may need a seperate appointment to change depending on time remaining in appointment.
