No basin
We have removed the foot soak. The whole treatment is done dry.

Sustainability · Waterless pedicure
The pedicure of the future is already in Candelaria
Less water, more wellbeing.
We no longer soak feet in a basin: we work dry and only use water at the end, to rinse. On an island like ours, every drop counts.
−73 % less water in every pedicure
We measured it
A 1.5-litre jug. It's that simple.
We didn't want to talk about savings without data, so we measured with the same jug before and after the change.

Now · waterless
0.4 L
Less than a third of the jug
How we measured: with a 1.5-litre graduated jug. We used to fill the whole jug for the soak in every pedicure; now we only use 0.4 litres for the final rinse. Saving per service: 1.5 − 0.4 = 1.1 litres (73%).
Over two years
How it adds up, pedicure by pedicure
- 2,882waterless pedicures in 2024 and 2025
- 3,170 Lof water saved
- 2,100+1.5-litre bottles we didn't have to fill
What is a waterless pedicure?
A complete pedicure, without the initial soak
Water only at the end
We keep water for the rinse: 0.4 litres per service.
The same care as always
The technique changes, not the attention or the result you expect from aManos.
Why we do it
In Tenerife, every drop counts
Tenerife has lived through years of drought: from May 2024 to March 2026 the island was in a water emergency. For us, caring for water is not a trend, it is a responsibility to the place where we live and work. Source: Cabildo de Tenerife (in Spanish)
“Do we really need that much water to do a good pedicure? The answer was no.”
More wellbeing, not just less water
What you gain
More hygiene
Without soaking there is no standing water, one of the most delicate points of a traditional pedicure.
More precision
Working dry lets us see the skin and nail better at every step.
The same care
The technique changes, not the pampering. Your moment of wellbeing is still the centre of everything.
It is not the only thing we do for water: we also have a refillable water fountain. Read about our full commitment to sustainability →
Our commitment to the 2030 Agenda
We contribute to two Sustainable Development Goals
Clean water and sanitation
Efficient use of water in every service.
Responsible consumption and production
Fewer resources for the same service.
