About

Nails change as we age, or after injury, or under medication. They can thicken, lift, split, fungate or simply become hard to reach. A routine appointment keeps them tidy, comfortable in shoes, and, importantly, properly examined.

Details

What's included

Cutting and shaping
Nails cut to length and shape, with sharp corners eased so they don't catch.
Thickened nails
Nails thinned and reduced with a sterile burr, comfortable in shoes again.
Fungal assessment
If a nail looks fungal, I'll explain options: topical, oral via GP, or a sampling kit.
Discoloured nails
Some discolouration is bruising, some is fungal, some is trauma. I'll tell you which.
Aftercare advice
How to keep on top of it between visits: tools, technique, frequency.

A plan
What I found, what to watch for, when to come back.

“I have been going to Mark to have my feet done for many years now. He is very professional and very efficient and his manner is warm.

Mark also looks after my 94 year old mums feet. Her feet are delicate and painful and Mark is so kind and gentle and very patient with her. I can’t imagine ever going to anyone else. I would highly recommend his work - he really knows his stuff!!!”

Asked often

About nail care

How often should I come?
Every 6–10 weeks for most people. Some come monthly, some annually; we'll find a rhythm that suits you.
Can you treat fungal nails?
Yes, we'll discuss topical options, sampling, and oral therapy via your GP where appropriate.
Will it hurt?
Routine nail care should not hurt. If a nail is painful (for example an ingrowing edge), we'll address that specifically.
