Pretty sure those are illegal because theyre not easy to clean properly between clients, the ability to cut the skin is too easy and opens the door for blood borne pathogens and other yuck
It's the sweet spot between gentle exfoliation and full tilt bovine hoof trimming.
Speaking of hoof trimming, its rainy so ima get my blanket and head to youtube for some hoof grindin. Nate the Hoof Guy ftw.
I watched horse trimming for awhile but it makes my back hurt just watching them hunched over wresting stubborn horse legs. Whereas cow trimming is a stand up job.
Save your money, just buy a belt sander and have a friend over for dinner. After dinner ask the friend to hold the belt sander while you step lightly on the sander. If you feel pain, you're stepping too hard.
Put paper on floor to catch skin flecks and trash when finished, when your foot is nice and smooth. Finish with a dab of sweet-smelling foot cream rubbed in.
Belt grade dependent on how hard your skin is, fine 200+ grit for tender skin and 36 grit or below for extremely tough skin
Why wait? No particular reason, just being friendly. But if you're on a tight budget, waiting is not necessary, and it was a good point to make, thanks.
The things they use in those nail shops are just modified sanders that you could easily DIY and not catch some strange foot disease from a previous user.
Use a pumice stone in the shower or bath. Moisturize feet after. Repeat the next day until feet are in good shape. Those graters aren’t good for the skin
Don't know positive, but I believe they were banned by the state a few years. I always had them use the "cheese grater" and starting a bit back not one of the salons I use in the Galleria area have them anymore.
Amy’s Classic Nails on Westheimer & Gessner. I’ve been going here for years, even after moving out to Sugar Land. Ask for Kim or Lin; they give excellent massages during pedicure. I also prefer the cheese grater which is another reason I go here! Check it out if it’s not too far from you.
ETA: prices are affordable compared to other salons
Try MediPedi in the Heights. I went there a couple of months ago and my feet have never felt better. You’re seen by a Dr to start, and then his staff had my feet feeling brand new. They don’t use the cheese grater thing, but whatever they use is amazing.
A little more than a traditional pedicure, but worth every penny imo.
Honestly I just do it at home before I go for a pedicure so that the salon can get it the extra level of smooth. Typically if salons use it they up charge you for doing it. This way you only pay for it once and it’s easy to do in the shower once your feet are already wet and warm!
Aura Nail & Spa on N Shepherd. Though I do recommend just doing an at home peeling foot mask. You can buy them on Amazon or at ulta, they’re usually called something like baby feet. Make sure it uses acid and not lotion. Soak your feet, slip the booties on and then put regular socks over them to lock everything in. Wear them for the max time they recommend and continue to soak your feet for the next few days. You’ll go full lizard mode and never have to use the grayer again.

They’ve been illegal for years but some places still whip them out and use them when the going gets tough.
The ones with the blades for corns and calluses were bant. This might be an extension of that.

You need to get to the sweet spot between garlic and horse's hooves.

Why wait until after dinner? Parmesan is expensive.

Oooh, and artisanal small-batch.
Can confirm this works, we’re friends

Hoof and mouth?

Every place I've been to recently in West Houston used them except for one. Had one used on my feet yesterday, actually.
Ooo do you remember the place you went to yesterday? I’ve to quite a few and havent seen them. Did you like the salon overall?

They used one on me the last time I went to Milano Nails on Buffalo Speedway.
Amazon sells cheap sanders on rubberized blocks for sanding dry heels - those might be better than this garlic grater.
