Toenail and fingernail cutting
If bending down, eyesight, arthritis or thick nails make cutting your own nails difficult, we’ll do it safely and leave them neat and comfortable.

What we do
Short, neat and comfortable
We cut and file each nail to a safe length and shape, and reduce nails that have thickened, which often happens with age, injury or fungal infection, so they no longer press on your shoes. If we notice anything that needs attention, such as an edge starting to ingrow or skin breaking down, we’ll tell you.
If you also have hard skin or corns, book a routine treatment instead, so we can look after everything in one visit.
