When getting your toenails trimmed during a pedicure, they should be cut straight across, and when they file, they have to lightly file the corners. Never cut into the corners of the nail. You want to be careful with how much you cut off the toenail. You dont want to cut too short, where you're cutting into the flesh, which could lead into bacteria, and all kinds of different infections. And plus, if you're cutting too short, by putting your shoes on, you're going to feel that sensitivity of pain, when they're short. So you want to stick to cutting to where there's only a little bit of free edge left on the edge.
