Aveda’s new series of foot treatments have made us hot to trot.

During our 90-minute Signature Pedicure ($85) our toes were slathered in gel then wrapped in hot towels to soften calluses. After being washed with Rosemary Mint cleanser, legs and feet were exfoliated with cooling salts (to boost circulation), slathered in a warm mask (to banish odor), massaged with hot stones and finished with Jojoba cream. After a lovely coat of Essie's Palmetto polish, we were sent off with a prescription for home care and spring in our step.

Our hands are green with envy.
