With the rising popularity of pedicure services, it’s only fitting to create an atmosphere that caters to the client. By fashioning a space that says comfort and quality, you’ll not only boast a unique atmosphere, you’ll build a loyal roster of pedicure clients. “You can easily boost pedicure sales by creating a private, luxurious space just for that service, and you can do it without building walls,” notes Tony Cuccio, Star Nail International and Cuccio Naturalé president (Valencia, Calif.).
