FAQS

We recommend you wear comfortable opened toe shoes to put on after your pedicure. Also, we have Feelgoodz Flops for purchase for your convenience.

A: We use three premium brands to give you the best, non-toxic, and eco-friendly nail experience:

• SpaRitual: This is a vegan, 13-Free formula (meaning it is free of 13 harmful chemicals), and focuses on slow, clean beauty and holistic nail care.
• Dazzle Dry: A signature high-performance lacquer system that dries completely hard in about five minutes without UV light. It is also a 7-Free formula and promotes healthy nail growth.
• ORLY Gel: For long-lasting manicures, we use ORLY Gel, which is also a 12-Free formula, ensuring a beautiful, chip-free finish without many of the harsh chemicals found in traditional gels.

Ingrown nails can be a painful condition for your feet to live with. It becomes even more of a problem if you already have sufficiently developed ingrown nails and you choose to get a pedicure, you are putting yourself at the risk of developing a nail or toe infection that can affect both feet.

However, a spa services pedicure is actually a great way of preventing ingrown toenails from plaguing your foot. A nail technician’s service is your best friend in the fight against ingrown toenails and healthy feet. A cuticle on your foot isn’t the only thing they can deal with. They can make a French nails pedicure look great, especially if it’s done by someone with experience.

Making a manicure or pedicure appointment is highly recommended. This will allow us the time and latitude to prepare for anything that you may have requested from the foot treatment to caring for your hands.

Ingrown hairs are caused by the hair not growing back straight. It is a common side effect and can be prevented easily by gently exfoliating.

Best to wear underwear that will give desired shape. During a bare bikini wax service, the esthetician will need to move and adjust the panties for shaping.

It is possible, however, it is based on your hair thickness and skin condition.

No, as you continue waxing, for most people their hair will grow back thinner and finer.

Having the appropriate length of hair (a quarter inch or longer) will give optimal results.

If you are having a bikini wax or Brazilian, trim hair to ½ inch (13 mm).

We suggest approximately a quarter inch or longer (2 to 3 weeks of growth).

Yes, definitely. The skin is an active organ and not an armored shell for your internal organs.

As such, if you have signs of trauma, or there are varicose veins showing, or you have open and active lesions or various types of dermatitis, the area will not be waxed as the waxing gel can cause damage.

If you have used Retinol at least 36 hours before treatment, or you have used Accutane within the past six months, you will not be eligible for waxing. Also, if the person is currently experiencing a herpes outbreak, they will immediately be denied waxing services to protect the health of our skincare provider. If also you have been sunbathing recently and developed a sunburn, a wax may actually end up making things worse for the person to receive the service. If you utilize various chemical peels over the area to be waxed, you will need to wait at least 7 days before attempting waxing.

Yes, we use gentle, hypoallergenic wax and soothing aftercare products for clients with sensitive skin, ensuring a comfortable experience. Our professional estheticians take extra care to minimize irritation and maximize results.

Before your first massage, you will need to complete an intake form. (Our form is one-page, double-sided, and asks simple questions related to medical problems and old injuries.) Your therapist will review the form and conduct a brief interview, asking a few questions about your medical history and any preferences you may have in relation to your treatment.

A full-body therapeutic massage traditionally includes the back and neck, scalp and face, shoulders, arms and hands, upper chest, abdomen, gluteal area, front and back of the legs, and feet. Many clients request extra attention for a focal area (for example, the back or legs) and/or request that an area be skipped.

After the interview, your therapist will leave the treatment room while you disrobe to your desired comfort level and settle in on the massage table, where you will be under a sheet (and a blanket if you wish). During the treatment, you remain fully draped except for the area of the body being treated at a given time (your upper back, for example). You are of course able to continue to communicate with the therapist about ways she can ensure that you are comfortable and that the massage meets your needs, for example in terms of your preferences for pressure.

After the treatment, your therapist will leave the room while you dress. Then you can share additional feedback with the therapist, who will make notes for future reference and may suggest stretches or offer other simple recommendations for self-care.

The best way to receive a great massage is to communicate with your massage therapist. The more specific you are in telling your therapist what you need, the better experience you will have. Don’t be afraid to say the words “more pressure” or “less pressure”.

Greentoes offers Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and hot stone massages.

In addition to Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and hot stone massages, Greentoes also offers specialized sports massages to aid in muscle recovery and relaxation. We provide massages to improve circulation and reduce swelling, as well as customized treatments designed to address individual needs for ultimate relaxation and well-being.

Yes, clients can request a preferred therapist. These requests are based on availability. If your preferred therapist is unavailable, we are happy to suggest another therapist with similar expertise to meet your needs. Advanced booking is recommended.

A sports massage targets muscle tension, enhances flexibility, and promotes recovery. It is particularly beneficial for improving performance, preventing injuries, and alleviating chronic muscle discomfort.

Yes, prenatal massage is available. Prenatal massage can help provide relief and relaxation for expectant mothers. Our massage therapists are specially trained in prenatal techniques that target common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, swollen legs, and fatigue. These soothing sessions help promote overall well-being for both mother and baby, ensuring a safe and calming experience.

This depends on your individual needs and goals. For general relaxation and stress relief, a monthly massage is often sufficient. If you are dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or are training for a sport, you may benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions until your symptoms improve. Your therapist can create a personalized schedule for you.

The session is all about you! You are welcome to talk as much or as little as you like. If you want to relax and drift off, please feel free to remain quiet. If you have questions, want to provide feedback on pressure, or just enjoy conversation, that’s fine too. The most important thing is to communicate if you feel any discomfort.

The most important thing is to drink plenty of water. Massage helps release metabolic waste from your muscles, and water helps flush it out. Take it easy, listen to your body, and avoid strenuous activity immediately following your session. You may feel slightly tired or sore, which is normal.

Both! It’s important to be well-hydrated before your massage, as this makes the muscle tissue more pliable and responsive. It is essential to drink plenty of water after your massage to help your body flush out toxins and waste products released during the session. Staying hydrated is especially important in Tucson’s dry climate.

Please let your therapist know immediately if you have any sensitive areas, injuries, or recent surgeries. Your therapist will gladly adjust the pressure and avoid or work gently around those areas to ensure your safety and comfort. Open communication is key to a great experience!

Deep tissue massage should not be consistently painful, but it can be intense, and you may feel temporary discomfort, often described as “good pain.” The pressure should always remain within your comfort tolerance. Never hesitate to tell your massage therapist to ease up if the pressure is too much. You may feel a bit sore the day after your massage, similar to a good workout.
