Frequently Asked Questions

A Medical Nail Technician (MNT) is a licensed nail care professional who has received advanced training in foot and nail care for clients with health conditions such as diabetes, fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and other foot-related concerns. Unlike traditional nail technicians who focus on cosmetic services, a Medical Nail Technician bridges the gap between cosmetic nail care and medical foot care.

MNTs are trained to:

• Recognize signs of medical conditions affecting the feet and nails

• Perform non-invasive foot care services in a safe, hygienic manner

• Provide relief from painful conditions like ingrown toenails, thickened nails, and corns

• Understand infection control and aseptic techniques

• Work in collaboration with podiatrists, doctors, or refer clients when needed

Please note: Medical Nail Technicians do not diagnose or perform surgery but play a critical role in preventative care and maintenance of healthy feet, especially for high-risk individuals.

A medical pedicure—sometimes called a dry or waterless pedicure—offers all the benefits of a traditional pedicure without the foot soak. Instead of using water, we use advanced tools like an electric file (e-file) to gently and hygienically remove calluses and dead skin. This approach is ideal for those with health concerns, offering a safer, more precise way to care for your feet.

Absolutely. All tools are disinfected and sterilized to medical-grade standards after every client, following strict infection control protocols.

Most clients benefit from foot care every 6–8 weeks, especially if they have diabetes, poor circulation, or thickened nails. Regular maintenance helps prevent discomfort and complications.

Yes, I offer fingernail trimming for those who may have difficulty doing it themselves, including seniors and individuals with limited mobility.

If you have an open wound, severe swelling, or signs of infection, I may refer you to a podiatrist first. I provide non-invasive care only, and your safety is my priority.
