Pedicure chair

[Becca@PolishedToPerfection]

I'm looking to buy a comfy chair for pedicures and get a matching footstool for me to sit on, can anyone recommend one? Budget is £100 x

Hi honey

A lot of people use the Poang (sp?) chair and foot stool from Ikea. I personally use a beauty bed and have a nice warm heated blanket underneath the towelling fitted sheet. I start with my clients sitting on my comfy manicure chairs and have their feet in the pedi bowl and we go through the consultation form and they have a quick coffee or tea. Then I dry their feet, get them to hop in the bed and anyway we go. If I am using scrubs and masques I have a nice hot bowl of water with either flannels or towelling mitts to wash them off.

Drove me mad trying to find a way of doing pedicures but I love doing it on the bed. Bless one of my clients the other month, she nodded off! For mobile I have a foot stool on its own no stool for me to sit on) and that works really well as I don't fancy humping my couch around and besides I can never put the bloody thing up without some kind of ninja move anyway!

Not sure if that's any help to you, but worth a consideration if you can't find what you want. There is also a really good pedi set up thread on here that may be worth having a read of- that's where I got the idea.

Thanks hun, i was thinking about a beauty couch as i'd love to do other treatments in the future especially facials which would obviously require a couch! The main worry was about the foot spa i wasn't sure where to put it and when i do masks and exfoliation etc can expect it gets quite messy? Does it seem like a lot of messing about? xx

Have you got the link for the thread hun? I can't find it xx

My couch is positioned right near my table so everything goes on there but you could use a trolly- i have a nice bowl which i fill up with very hot water and place my mitts or face cloths in there so by the time ive done cuticle work etc the water has cooled enough for me to ring out the flannels but are still really warm for the client and i can remove the scrub and masque that way.

I normally do a quick foot soak first while client is not on the bed as my pedi bowl is deep but i know some people put them on the bed. I start with them in a normal chair feet in bowl and then they can do consult form and have a drink sitting up right. They only have a couple of minutes there then i move them to the bed and do the rest of the pedi. When i shellac they dont have foot soak unless they are having full pedi with it.

When im on pc ill see if i can find it honey, in mean time if anyone else can find it hopefully theyll post for you. X x x

Sorry if this sounds dumb! lol but do you sit on the footstool and have your clients foot on your lap or does your client put their feet on the footstool? x

I sit on a small low down stool and my clients have their feet on the footstool. I tilt the footstool the other way and they slide their foot into my lamp! SS

When I do it my client sits in the chair and I sit on the stool with a towel over my lap and resting on the stool

 

[Becca@PolishedToPerfection]

What chair do you have maz? Some of the footstools i've seen don't look very sturdy i'm scared to sit on them! Lol x
