Margaret Dabbs medical pedicures are for everyone who values excellent, class and professionalism. I am a gentleman in my fifties, and I have been having beauty and aesthetic treatments for thirties years plus, way before the phrase metrosexual existed.
I am two sides of the same coin.
One side wants a professional service who knows what they are doing and achieves the result. I would suggest this is the medical way of approaching life.
The other side of my personality loves glamour, passion, luxurious pampering, and a good dose of chic style.
Both sets of feelings are totally good and there is a time for each, maybe though not at the same time.
So yes, I have had gel pedicures, scrubs, wax, nail varnish and everything else for my feet but this visit was focused on the practicalities of some feet in definite need of the pedicure doctor and to deliver some feet tlc.
I walk a massive amount, have recently moved and after a rare day of wearing hard shoes for a long walk through London on a hot day my feet said ouch, followed by some massive blisters.
I had also bruised not just 1 but 2 of my toenails on my left foot. The first from wearing in some new shoes and the second stabbing my foot on the edge of the pool at swimming.
So Margaret Dabbs says she is
“Proudly Made In The UK — The No.1 Brand For The Best & Most Effective Luxury Products For Your Feet, Hands & Legs.
Explore Margaret Dabbs range of luxurious foot, hand, and leg care products.”
Time to put this to the test.
First of all Margaret Dabbs has 7 clinics in London, alone and worldwide you can find her from Harrogate to Dubai, so with typical English reserve you could definitely say she is doing something right.
I had booked in for Margaret Dabbs

The Belgravia clinic is in my opinion my favourite as its bright, open and feels higher end and then when you go downstairs to the clinic room this is the crème de la crème. Admittedly it was a summers day but its large, well looked after, and with the doors open, onto what appeared a patio styled outside it felt definitely very Mediterranean and so with the summers breeze flowing through my bed was put into the right position.
These things sound very hum drum but being comfortable and relaxed is in my opinion so very important as it also makes you feel confident in your giver and to feel your surroundings are medically clean is also vital. Simples as the ad said but when its not right you definitely notice.
I had a good chat with my Egyptian/Italian podiatrist, as we discussed my background in the Arab world, her university course and the love of the room and the clinic.
I explained my situation and she cleaned, buffed, and cleansed. My blisters were checked and confirmed not to pop for fear of infection.
After the cleaning my blister had a large, padded dressing applied and she confirmed they were doing well with the healing.
Regarding my bruised toenails she also confirmed the new nail underneath was in good order. Not always the case she clarified.
45 minutes, relaxed, cleaned and preened I left to head off to see Dita Von Teese who we all know has perfect nails.
My nails were on the mend, but they had certainly been looked after and given a clean bill of health with regard to their recovery to looking a lot better.
Definitely look forward to returning to Margaret Dabbs Belgravia for some feet love.
Onwards and upwards as my mother used to say.
