are pedicures safe?

Im 35 weeks. My toenails really need attention,  but I cant reach them. If I ask the salon to skip the massage do you think I would be safe?

Most salons are willing to leave their doors open while you're in there so that the fumes aren't so heavy. Unless the people at your salon are as assholes lol.

seems like a silly question but good for you for asking. it's amazing how different people can be. to think that there is woman out there that drink or smoke then you come across someone that wants to know if it's ok to get her toes done. I find that refreshing and nice! you def deserve a pedi!! :-)

I got a  regular pedicure (organic ones are so over priced) and just made sure I was sat near the door for good ventilation. I had the foot massage too. I figured doing it once during pregnancy should be okay.  I was 35 weeks when I got one.  I am 38 weeks now.
