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.
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.
