how do you get hard skin off your feet

trying to get sanda/flip flop ready

Siiiiiigh. If you have verrucaes or warts don't go to a salon go to a chiropodist. They can treat things like that plus they can do the hard skin much better if it's very bad.
After you're fixed there go to a normal salon for a pedicure every 6 or so weeks to maintain. They will keep your feet soft and smooth and stop hard skin building up again as well as sorting toes out and fixing up cuticles.
Use any foot cream with urea at least once a week too.

Use a cream called Calmuirid. You can get it at chemists, over the counter but you have to ask for it. Put it on your heels and rest of foot. Put some Ecotools bamboo pedicure socks on top. Sleep in the socks, after three treatments the hard skin will be gone. A very nice GP prescribed the cream to me years ago, and it works brilliantly.

Whatever you do. don't file off the skin.

Expensive but worth it

Monthly pedicure. Use a foot file in the bath every couple of days followed by flexitol to keep them decent.

The Footners sound amazing, will I have to hide my feet for ages while it's working! I live in flip flops and hate the idea of giving them up when it's hot!

You can soak your feet in warm water with mild soap; hard skin will be soften after 10-15 minutes soaking. Exfoliate it with an exfoliating foot scrub, I recommend you to use natural exfoliating scrub. Wash your feet with warm water again and put some lotion. You can also wear socks during bedtime.
