Over the last several years there has been overwhelming news (20/20 and 60 Minutes) pointing to evidence of an increasing number of foot and leg infections and sometimes even deaths related to basic pedicure services provided by establishments all over North America. We thought it was time to address this issue in Canada by taking it to the next level. By doing so we feel that we have an opportunity to eliminate the multitude of pedicure related foot infections that foot health practitioners see in their practices on a daily basis.​

 

In November of 2006 the “Designer Feet Boutique" was launched in the Durham region (Whitby) followed by Toronto in 2011. Within our facilities there are individualized and specific treatment areas. The professional staff of licensed aestheticians’ were hand picked and trained. They continued their training to attain the highest level of knowledge, skill, and expertise in providing a high level of care in a relaxing and soothing manner. These services comply with infection prevention and control requirements under Ontario Regulation 136/18: Personal Service Settings.​

 

The aim, with the introduction of the “Medi Pedi”, is for these highly trained service providers to take the basic pedicure service to the highest level and ensure that the community at large will have access to the highest level of professional care. Using the latest nail care products, the providers of this service will be able to protect the nail surface and cuticles from bacteria, fungus and a multitude of viruses that attack the nail surface. Each client on their very first visit receives their very own foot care kit which is serviced, maintained, and sterilized between each and every visit, by trained support staff. The foot baths are thoroughly cleaned and maintained after each use to prevent the possibility of cross contamination.
