Paraffin Pedicure: The feet are dipped into the wax or paraffin is brushed over the feet after a thick coat of moisturizer is applied on to the feet. Later, when the wax dries it is peeled off. This procedure is best suited for people with dry feet, as paraffin is believed to be a great moisturizer.

Stone Pedicure: In this type of pedicure, oil is massaged into the feet and lower legs with hot stones. Stone pedicure is more of a massage pedicure.

French Pedicure: Similar to regular pedicures, French pedicures are the most popular ones. Here, in addition to the regular pedicure, the toenails are either left natural or covered with pink polish. White polish is applied to the tip of the nails, while a clear polish is covered throughout.

In addition to the above, there are few unusual pedicures such as chocolate, wine & margarita pedicures.

Whatever be the type of the pedicure, the undeniable fact is pedicures are a must indulgence for your feet.
