I've never had a pedicure - I do my own.
When I can't stand how my feet feel I'll soak them in Epsom salts then scrub off the dead skin with a pumice stone.
A few times a year I'll use a foot peel.
Not every brand is great but I've had very good results with this:

You wear the little booties for a few hours then rinse your feet off.
In a week or so the dead skin starts sloughing off like shedding snake skin (this part can look a little gross but it's painless and effortless).
It helps if you soak and scrub but it comes off so easily and my feet are very soft and smooth afterward.
