Dutch version
A first appointment with a pedicurist often raises more questions than necessary. With a few small preparations you know exactly what to expect and Patty has everything she needs.
Remove nail polish so the nail can be assessed properly. On the day itself it is better not to use thick cream: moisturised skin is harder to assess and to work on.
Wash your feet as you always do. An extensive foot bath beforehand is not needed; that happens during the treatment if it is useful.
Bring the shoes you wear most often. The wear and the shape usually show exactly where the pressure causing your complaint lies.
If you take medication that affects your skin or circulation, or if you have diabetes or rheumatism, please mention it. That determines how the treatment is done.
Briefly describe what is bothering you and since when. Even if you do not think it matters: a nagging spot, a nail that feels different, a crack that keeps coming back.
Say what you have already tried. That saves time and prevents you getting the same advice that did not work.
Do say if something is sensitive. A treatment should not be painful and there is almost always another way to approach it.
Ask questions. Everything that happens is explained, and a first appointment is exactly the moment to learn how to carry on at home.
You get advice about moisturising, trimming and footwear. Write it down if needed; it is half the result.
Book the next appointment straight away. For most people every six to eight weeks is a good rhythm, with complaints a little sooner.
In practice this subject belongs with callus removal and corn treatment. There you can read how Patty works, or you can request an appointment straight away.

Do not wait until something hurts. A small spot that bothers you when walking is solved in half an hour; the same spot after three months usually is not.
Just as you always do. An extensive foot bath is not needed.
No. Payment is by Tikkie, by invoice or in cash.
Just say so. Everything is explained before it happens.
Briefly describe what is bothering you and Patty will look at it with you. You will receive a personal reply quickly.
