Pedicures that use water bowls can cause serious infection. What they call a dry pedicure is your best bet. Cross contamination comes from biofilm buildup in the water pipes and the water jets in the foot bowl that are never sterilized. Bacteria stays in the jets FOREVER! return vents are not cleaned between each use.

Dry pedicures are hard to find but they still feel wonderful. They use hot towels on your legs and feet. I recently had a dry pedicure in Tavares near Mount Dora and it was heavenly. It included a paraffin treatment and a leg message to die for. If your interested in the shop and pedicurist please send me a pm.

Sorry to burst your bubble but its better to be safe then sorry.
