I tell them I just love to turn ugly feet that nobodywants to touch into feet that everyone wants to kiss,” says Albin Brion, Studio Manager and Podiatrist at Bastien Gonzalez Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio in Hong Kong. A world-renowned pedicurist to celebrities, Albin is personally trained by Bastien Gonzalez, who developed a beauty regimen for the feet that attracted the attention of A-listers such as Victoria Beckham and Gwyneth Paltrow. In his pedicure station situated at the heart of Central, Albin performs the Bastien pedicure, which consists of dead skin removal, nail buffing and a heavenly foot massage. Upon enteringAlbin’s station, scalpels and small electronic drills can be seen on his tool table. The room’s lighting is focused specifically on the feet, while the rest of the body can relax in the comfortable leather seat without any distraction.
