Become a NuFeet Medical Pedicurist™
More Than a Certificate. A Higher Standard.
The NuFeet Medical Pedicurist™ program was created for licensed nail professionals who are committed to providing a higher standard of foot care through advanced education, professionalism, and collaboration with healthcare providers.

It is about understanding how to work safely, recognize when to refer clients to a physician, and deliver hygienic, waterless pedicure services while remaining fully within your state's scope of practice.

Built on Experience
est 2012
NuFeet Medical Pedicures® was founded by Erika Allison in 2012 after years of working alongside podiatrists and providing specialized foot care. Long before Medical Pedicures became widely recognized, NuFeet helped establish the systems, education, and professional standards that continue to influence the advanced pedicure industry today.
Our mission has always remained the same:
To elevate the nail industry through education, safety, professionalism, and collaboration with healthcare providers.
Important Information
The NuFeet Medical Pedicurist™ Certification is an educational credential. It does not grant medical licensure, authorize the diagnosis or treatment of medical conditions, or expand a professional's legal scope of practice.
Certified professionals are trained to provide cosmetic, noninvasive foot care while understanding when referral to a podiatrist or physician is appropriate. The focus is always on client safety, ethical practice, and professional collaboration.
A Medical Pedicure™ is a waterless, hygienic, and results-focused service performed by a state-licensed nail professional with advanced training who remains fully within their scope of practice. It is designed for clients with thick or discolored toenails and is performed in collaboration with a physician when needed.
