Step Alive Spa: Perks of a Pedicure

If you have never had a pedicure, you may be a little apprehensive about letting a stranger touch your feet and legs.  However, there are several benefits to receiving a pedicure through the Step Alive Spa.

Relax!
A trip to the Step Alive Spa is a great way to relax.  Your pedicure or spa treatment includes aromatherapy, relaxing music, and a view of beautiful Lake Cascades. 

Release Tension
Most pedicures include at least some foot and leg massage.  Your feet definitely deserve a treat considering they are the foundation for your whole body and go about four miles each day!

Clean, Safe, and Friendly Environment
The Step Alive Spa gives you all the perks of a salon pedicure; without the worry.  All of the instruments used are sterilized in an auto-clave, just like surgical instruments.  The salon is carefully supervised by our doctor so you do not have to worry about infections that could be spread easily through a traditional salon. Our salon technician is friendly and a great listener.  Let her know what you want before she gets started and she will accommodate you as best she can as well as listening to your wants and needs during the treatment.  To ensure the spa technician has all the information she needs, clients fill out a short form describing their specific needs.

Dr.'s Remedy Polish

Another benefit of a Step Alive Spa pedicure is the type of polish we use.  Your feet do a lot of work and don't deserve just any old polish.  Dr.'s Remedy Polish is enriched with anti-fungal properties and does not contain any of the harmful ingredients in other nail polishes.  This is the only nail polish your podiatrist will approve of! The polish is also available through our online product store if you need to do some touching up in between spa treatments. 

What's Not In This Polish (But typically in other polishes):

• Formaldehyde: a chemical which has been proven to cause cancer
• DBP: a potential developmental and reproductive toxin that may cause birth defects and is banned in Europe
• Toluene: a chemical that the EPA restricts in our drinking water because it can cause nervous system disorders as well as damage to the liver and kidneys

What's in this Polish

• Vitamin C and E for healthier nails
• Wheat Proteins
• Tea Tree Oil which has been found to have antiseptic and anti-fungal activity
• Garlic Bulb Extract which also has anti-fungal properties

Advantages

• Produces beautifully colored nails while helping to keep them healthy
• Polish lasts as long as polishes containing harmful ingredients
• No yellow left behind like with polishes that contain formaldehyde
• Anti-Fungal properties
• Doctor tested and Prescribed

Look Great

The most obvious benefit of getting a pedicure is making your feet look nice.  You can wear those great peep-toe shoes or sandals without being embarrassed of your non-pedicured toes. Having manicured fingers and pedicured toes can do a world of good for your self-esteem!
