Women Tell Men Everything They Need To Know About Pedicures

If you've never had a pedicure, there are a few things you probably don't know. For example, you might not know that you get a quick massage during said pedicure, and that contrary to popular belief, they're not a women-only experience.

The main purpose of a pedicure is to treat yourself, relax and walk away with a good-looking (and feeling) pair of feet -- something you probably need this time of year.

In an effort to get all men on board with pedicures, we at The Huffington Post asked the women we know to dish everything they know about what to expect at a pedicure.

Men, it's sandal season. Go forth and treat your feet with this expert advice.

1. Get your feet together before you go.

Because "nobody wants to work on crusty feet," soak yours for a few minutes in hot water to soften your skin before you head out the door.

2. Make sure it's a safe pedicure place.

When picking out your pedicure spot, pick one that is very sanitized -- use our handy checklist here to make sure yours is clean. If you don't, you could end up at the doctor's office.

3. Use the spa chair.

"You must go to a place with a spa chair. Do not opt for anything else." And by spa chair, we mean massage chair. You're welcome.

3. Wear sandals.

Whether they're flip-flops, Birkenstocks, shower sandals or Tevas, don't go to the pedicurist in closed-toe shoes. The salon can provide you with paper sandals at the end of your treatment, but "you don't want to deal with those."

4. You get what you pay for.

"If you go to a place that gives you a $15 pedicure, the experience and results will probably suck. And the joy that is getting a pedicure will be lost on you entirely."

5. Some things are worth paying more for.

"Foot massage time, callus removal or a deep, exfoliating scrub to get rid of dead skin."

6. Some things are not worth paying more for.

"Scented or fancy water with essential oils or flowers, more lotions for your feet or legs, parafin wax."

7. Wear shorts, or at least loose-legged pants.

"Make sure you wear shorts or pants that can be easily rolled up over your knees! At some point, the pedicurist will want to roll up your pants and massage your calves with lotion, and if you're wearing skinny jeans it can be a little bit of a nightmare."

8. Yes, a pedicure will tickle.

"But only for like 2 seconds, so just deal."
