I am a firm believer in podiatry instead of "spa pedicures". If you really want to transform your…read morefeet into pillow-like pads, get yourself to a podiatrist. While I love Primo Podiatry, their operating hours are rather inconvenient with availability on only Thursdays. When you work full-time and have evening engagements it's rather hard to arrange something when you have only a 2-hour window to compete with other clients. Conveniently located on the opposite side of Queens Park and just a stone's throw from the Mount Florida train station, Hampden Foot Clinic will work wonders on your hard-worn soles. Since I used to dance, my feet are prone to callusing quicker than vultures all over a free meal. Calluses are great for dancing, but not a great look for day-to-day. My podiatrist Mikey is friendly, professional and great chat. He puts you at ease as he transforms the grotesque into something beautiful and soft. Finished off with some softening cream and tea tree oil, I was ready to skip home in my heavenly feet. If you're looking to truly treat your feet, do yourself a favour and head over to Hampden Foot Clinic... you can paint your toes at home ;)

Is this you? "Pedicures? Oh yeah, I get them at my local salon. I change up my polish every couple…read moreof week." Have you ever heard of a medical pedicure or left your tootsies alone with a podiatrist? No? Well educate yourself: http://www.sheknows.co.uk/beauty-and-love/articles/967485/the-medical-pedicure Within the sumptuous oasis that is the Blythswood Square Spa, Sarah Whiteford runs the Primo Podiatry clinic every Thursday from 12:30-8:30pm. This is no ordinary froufrou foot spa, file and polish. Equipped with sanitary medical equipment, she works her wizardry and transforms your lizard-like soles into pillow-like pads. Don't believe me? I danced ballet (including en pointe) for over 13 years. Thanks to all that training, I have hard feet and am prone to calluses (yum, I know). Expensive diamond foot files, Swedish/Norwegian foot creams, foot socks... I have tried everything, yet my feet just revert to protect itself due to years of abuse. At the start of my appointment, I joked about asking Sarah not to judge my feet. She immediately went to town with her scalpel, which was absolutely painless as we chatted away about randomness. Being a medically trained professional, she also removed a corn that I hadn't taken notice of, and she was surprised it wasn't causing me severe amount of pain (again high pain threshold from dancing en pointe). Sarah also provides advice on how to minimise certain areas from getting built up again, and aftercare. After an hour (typical appointments should be 30 minutes), my feet were unrecognisable and I definitely didn't want to stand or walk on them. My feet were unbelievably soft and smooth; for £40 this knocks every other "spa pedicure" out of the ball park. Bonus: the other half doesn't recoil when I try to put my feet on his legs. Win! Thanks Sarah!

I made an appt for my mum who is in care home with dementia to attend Footprints. I made this at…read morethe Burnside branch who were full so put the appt to Muirend branch. This appt was for a Monday late afternoon. I received a phone call from Mums care home (Monday AM) saying my mum was unwell and wouldn't be able to attend, the appt would need to be rescheduled. On phoning footprints, they were extremely inflexible. They cited their 24 hour cancellation policy (which I wasn't informed about at the point of making the appointment) and the appointment would need to be paid in full. I asked how 24 hour policy worked on a Monday when they were closed the day before, apparently you were to leave a message on their answer machine, again something I wasn't told about. Since I don't live with my mum and being in a care home her health can be variable, I informed them as soon as I could which was 11am after getting a voicemail from her nurse at 10.50 am, as stated the appt was 4.15 the same day. I understand businesses can have cancellation issues, in this case there were clear mitigating circumstances that the staff did not empathize with, were out with my control and it's difficult to predict the health of patients with dementia. I cannot recommend either the burnside or the muirend branch after this experience, I would avoid.

Recently visited this clinic for help with a persistent verruca that my daughter had, we had tried…read moreeverything over the 2 years she has had it and Karen the owner suggested we tried something new called needling, we went ahead and although my daughter experienced some pain apparently this is not always the case some people experience little discomfort. The help and information Karen has supplied us with is second to none, nothing is too much bother. She is absolutely delighted with the procedure and 2 weeks later although still very much visible she is sure that the verruca will be no more in less than a few more weeks. I absolutely believe her, if she says it will be gone then I am sure that the verruca would not dare to defy her. Would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone. A big thumbs up from us.
