When you're doing a Minx pedicure...

...do you soak the feet first?

Do you wear gloves? I'd think they'd get in the way with Minx.

I only soak the feet if they are having a Pedicure first not if they are just having the Minx on.
I just scrub with scrubfresh before applying.
I never wear gloves I would spend most of the time peeling myself off the minx :lol:
:hug:

That's what I thought too, Minx would just stick to the gloves.

Do you never come across, how shall I put this, unappealing feet that you maybe rather wouldn't touch without cleaning/soaking first?
Or is a foot spray enough?

I always do a quick soak with any foot treatment and have this listed in my treatment descriptions. One of my first practises was a toe nail file and polish for a friend......I did expect her to have given her feet at least a quick wash before, but she didn't and let's just say I could tell!!!........so now I always give feet a quick soak......it makes me feel more comfortable, and it would be a bit obvious if sometimes you did and sometimes you didn't (dependant on the state of their feet) I don't use a footspa or anything fancy, just a quick dip really, for my own peace of mind more than anything.....nothing worse than smelly feet.....well apart from other potentially smelly parts which are best not mentioned in a nail thread....LOL!!!!

If a client calls to book just the minx application I always tell them that they need to wash thier feet before coming but if the aren't great I tell them that the minx will not adhere to dirty toes so they need to have a pedicure first or re book for another day.
I have never had a problem everyone hates the thought of having mankie feet so even if they are getting a soak before most have already washed :lol:
