This innovative approach to foot care is gaining popularity for its numerous benefits, ranging from improved hygiene to environmental consciousness. At Salon De Cheveux in Cañon City, Colorado, we're excited to introduce this cutting-edge technique to our clients.

As counterintuitive as it may sound, a waterless pedicure is exactly what the name suggests - a pedicure without the traditional foot soak. While the concept might seem strange to those accustomed to the warm, relaxing foot bath that typically kicks off a pedicure session, experts argue that eliminating this step could lead to a superior experience overall. Our skilled technicians are trained to provide this innovative service with the utmost care and precision.


The Benefits of Going Waterless

Waterless pedicures offer several advantages over traditional methods. Here are the key benefits you'll experience at Salon De Cheveux:

  • Enhanced Hygiene
    By removing water from the equation, the risk of bacterial contamination is significantly reduced. As Rachel Apfel Glass, founder of Glosslab, explains, "Water is a breeding ground for germs. Even when the water is changed out between clients, germs still live in the bowl." 

  • Longer-Lasting Results
    Ditching the water can lead to a more durable pedicure. When nails are soaked, they absorb water and expand, which can cause polish to chip prematurely as the nails return to their natural shape after drying. Our waterless technique ensures your pedicure stays pristine for longer.

  • Environmentally Friendly
    On average, this method can save between 12 to 15 gallons of water per service - a significant amount when multiplied across multiple treatments and salons. By choosing a waterless pedicure at Salon De Cheveux, you're contributing to water conservation efforts in Cañon City and beyond.


What to Expect During a Waterless Pedicure

While the process may vary slightly between salons, here's what you can expect during your waterless pedicure at Salon De Cheveux:

  • Polish Removal
    The treatment begins with our gentle, plant-based polish remover, avoiding harsh acetone to protect your nails.

  • Cleansing
    Instead of a foot soak, your feet are pampered with a warm, aromatic towel infused with essential oils, providing both cleansing and relaxation.

  • Extended Massage
    The time saved from skipping the soak is dedicated to a longer, more luxurious foot massage, ensuring you leave our salon feeling thoroughly relaxed and rejuvenated.
