Get pedicure possible with v short toenails?

Hi - any tips appreciated please as I want to book a pedicure for bright holiday nails but my toenails are very short so didn’t know if it was possible. (Tiny nails). It’s because I hate my toenails feeling long. Will they have to put acrylics on? Thanks

No they won’t have to put acrylics on. I keep mine really short as I hate the look of ‘grown’ toenails. Very occasionally they laugh and say ohh well we can’t cut these down, can we!
But they’ll just get on with your pedicure don’t worry.

Oooh no, you dont need acrylics on your toes!

I have same issue, I can't abide long toenails and cytbthem really short ust before a pedicue to make sure they aren't left too long! When I book I aways forwarn staff I have dinky toenails... a good beautician can work with short nails!

Yep, absolutely! Some of mine are v short and I basically have no little toenails (weird family quirk) and it’s fine. They usually do a quick nail file to even out

I hate long toenails. Sometimes I even cut them myself before a pedicure as they can leave it longer than I like if there’s a tiny bit of growth. You definitely don’t need acrylics, just simple polish, either normal or gel (gel lasts so much longer on feet).

Thank you. I feel reassured and will book!
