How long before a pedicure should a client wait to shave or wax their legs?

The correct response indicates that clients should wait 24 hours after shaving or waxing their legs before getting a pedicure. This is important to prevent any potential irritation or sensitivity that might occur from the pedicure services.

When clients shave or wax their legs, the skin can be left slightly more vulnerable and sensitive due to the removal of hair, which can cause micro-abrasions or irritation. If a pedicure is performed too soon after these hair removal methods, it may lead to discomfort or even an increased risk of infection, particularly if any sharp tools are used during the pedicure.

By waiting a full 24 hours, clients allow their skin to recover and reduce the likelihood of any adverse reactions during the pedicure process. This waiting period helps ensure a more comfortable and pleasant experience for the client while promoting good hygiene and safety practices in the salon.
