Salon foot treatment
A pedicure is a cosmetic treatment for the feet and toenails—trimming, shaping, and polishing the nails, plus softening and exfoliating the skin.
Pedicures are typically performed at nail salons: I'm getting a pedicure before the wedding.
The word parallels manicure, which is the same treatment for hands.
