Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you provide senior nail care in Boise?

    Yes. Tending Toes specializes in senior nail care at our Boise location and provides traveling services for eligible homebound clients. We also hold mobile foot clinics at the Emmett and Horseshoe Bend Senior Centers. Our team can help with routine nail care as well as thick, curved, and difficult-to-trim nails.

  • Do you offer diabetic nail care?

    Yes. Diabetic nail care is one of our primary areas of focus. We follow careful cleanliness procedures and use products approved for use on people with diabetes.

  • Can you help with thick nails?

    Yes. Our medically based pedicures can help clients with thick or difficult-to-trim nails. We frequently work with seniors and others who need additional care during their pedicure appointments.

  • Can you help with ingrown nails?

    We provide specialized nail care for clients experiencing ingrown nails. Your nail tech can assess your needs within the scope of our services and recommend appropriate next steps when additional care is needed.

  • Do you provide nail care for nail fungus?

    Yes. Tending Toes works with clients who have nail fungus and need specialized nail care. Our team follows careful procedures focused on cleanliness and reducing cross-contamination.

  • Do you provide in-home nail care?

    Yes. Private in-home visits are available for homebound individuals within 50 miles of Boise. We also provide mobile foot clinics at the Emmett and Horseshoe Bend Senior Centers.

  • Why are your hours so different?

    Not only do we provide services at our shop, we also provide services to home bound individuals that can not come to us. So we travel all around the valley. We also set up mobile foot clinics through our medical licensing at senior centers in the smaller communities that have no other way to get our services.

  • Why don’t you have the fancy pedicure chairs with the jets?

    We do not use these because we deal with many clients that have skin and nail issues that could be contagious. We use plastic lined tubs so you always know that is clean and no risk of cross contamination. All implements, linens and towels are only used once per client, then they are thrown away (liners), washed (towels), and disinfected (implements).

  • Are your products diabetic friendly?

    Yes, all products used during our medical based pedicures are approved for use on diabetics. Our new products are also safe for seniors, diabetics, and individuals with auto-immune disorders.

  • Why do you keep a medical chart?

    We provide a full foot assessment and exam for all pedicure clients. We keep medical charts in order to track any changes or problems that them and their doctors need to be aware of.

  • Do you take insurance?

    Unfortunately, no. Insurance will not pay us. You will need to contact your insurance company directly to find out if they will reimburse you for our services.
