In Hong Kong, a city with nearly 7,000 daily steps on average, our feet endure more than just the pressure of walking—from rushing between districts like Tsim Sha Tsui and Central during commute, to the wear and tear of weekend trail hikes, foot health has become a major concern for urban dwellers. GIHO offers professional pedicure techniques, high-temperature sterilised equipment, and systematic procedures to help you address these issues.
The Amazing Benefits of a Pedicure Room
We all know that complex foot issues (such as nail deformities, ingrown toenails, excessive calluses, etc.) require the skill and experience of a professional pedicurist to address. Incorrect pedicure methods may lead to infections, injuries, or worsen existing problems.

Professional vs. DIY Disasters
1.Professionalism
Pedicure at Beauty Salon: Professional pedicurists perform the procedure, capable of handling complex foot issues such as ingrown toenails, calluses, and hardened skin, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
DIY Pedicure: Lacks professional knowledge and technique, often leading to improper handling that may cause foot injuries or infections. Effectiveness in addressing complex issues is generally poor.
2. Hygiene Standards
Pedicure at Beauty Salon: Strictly adheres to hygiene protocols, with tools being thoroughly sterilised. All instruments provided to clients are either single-use/disposable or meticulously sanitised, and the environment is maintained to a clean and sanitised standard.
DIY Pedicure: Inadequate sterilisation of tools and an unhygienic operating environment may lead to bacterial growth and increase the risk of infection.
3. Comfort
Pedicure at Beauty Salon: Provides a comfortable environment and atmosphere to enhance the overall experience. Professional pedicurists will adjust the pressure and technique according to the condition of the client's feet, ensuring the process is comfortable. A foot massage is usually included to add to the relaxation.
DIY Pedicure: May accidentally apply excessive pressure or use improper technique, causing discomfort or pain—especially when dealing with thickened hard skin or trimming toenails.
Who is our pedicure service suitable for?
- Individuals with foot conditions: Such as those suffering from paronychia, fungal nails, corns, calluses, etc. Our pedicure service provides professional treatment and care to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
- Elderly: As people age, the skin on their feet tends to deteriorate, often leading to issues such as dead skin buildup and thickened calluses. Our pedicure services offer professional removal of dead skin and calluses, helping to maintain overall foot health.
- Individuals with diabetes: Diabetic patients often experience reduced sensation in their feet, making them more prone to injuries and slower healing. Seeking professional pedicure services ensures that foot care is performed by trained experts, reducing the risk of self-inflicted cuts, injuries, and infections caused by improper nail trimming.
- Individuals who prioritize foot care: This group seeks professional pedicure services to maintain the aesthetic appearance and health of their feet, prevent potential foot issues, and enjoy a more comfortable and relaxing foot experience.
What are your concerns?
Q1: Is it necessary to soak feet before removing calluses?
A1: In fact, callus removal can be performed on both dry and wet feet. However, after soaking, the keratin softens, making the process easier and more comfortable.
Q2: Can moisturizing replace callus removal?
A2: Callus removal is only a supplementary step; the most important aspect is daily moisturizing. After bathing each day, gently exfoliate rough areas on the feet with your hands or a soft towel, and apply lotion or lanolin cream to keep the skin hydrated. This helps promote natural keratin metabolism and maintains smooth foot skin.
Q3: Will cutting away calluses cause the skin to thicken over time?
A3: As long as calluses are trimmed properly, it will not cause the skin to thicken or become coarser over time. On the contrary, if calluses are not trimmed regularly, excessive keratin buildup may lead to cracks or discomfort.
Q4: How often should callus removal be performed?
A4: The recommended frequency for moderate callus removal is once per month, not exceeding twice at most. If overly thick calluses are left untrimmed, it may lead to cracks or discomfort in the feet.
Q5: Which method is better: cutting calluses or filing calluses?
A5: While cutting calluses is quick, it may sometimes result in uneven or aesthetically unpleasing outcomes. If performed improperly, it could also damage the skin or even cause infections. Therefore, although filing calluses is slower, it is relatively safer and can achieve more uniform results.
Trimming your nails at home can be like trying to fix jeans with scissors—it’s easy to cut unevenly, and in serious cases, it might even lead to ingrown nails that take a long time to correct. At GIHO, our pedicure service gently removes calluses and dead skin while including a soothing foot massage to relax muscles and improve walking comfort.
