Regular polish dries in 10 to 15 minutes but chips within 5 to 7 days. Gel polish cures under a 36 W to 48 W UV or LED lamp in 60 seconds per coat and lasts 14 to 21 days. Gel requires acetone soaking for 10 to 15 minutes during removal, while regular polish wipes off with remover in 1 minute.
Manual callus removal uses a foot file with 80 grit on damp skin. Electric files with diamond or carbide bits work faster on thicker skin but carry a higher risk of burns if misused. Salons should not use blades or razor scrapers on feet. Ask which tool the technician prefers for your skin type.
Keep feet dry for 24 hours after a pedicure to let the polish cure fully. Warning signs include redness, swelling, pain around the nail fold, pus or greenish discoloration on the nail plate. These symptoms may signal an infection that needs a doctor within 48 hours. Report problems to the salon and seek medical advice.
Standard polish brands last 5 to 7 days without a top coat. Premium polish formulas with a base and top coat last 7 to 10 days. Gel systems from professional lines last 14 to 21 days. Dip powder systems last 21 to 28 days but require acetone removal for 15 to 20 minutes.
A standard pedicure takes 40 to 60 minutes. It includes soaking the feet in warm water, trimming and shaping the nails, pushing back the cuticles, removing calluses with a pumice stone or foot file, and finishing with a polish of your choice. Ask what products are used and whether tools are sterilized in an autoclave between clients.
Tools should come out of a sealed sterilization pouch or be visibly cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectant. Foot baths need to be disinfected between every client, not only rinsed. Linbow boards, buffers, and pumice stones must be single-use or replaced. Watch for dirty towels, reused files, and technicians who skip hand washing before starting.
If you have diabetes, circulation issues, fungal nails, or thick calluses, request a medical or podiatric pedicure. The specialist uses sterilized instruments, checks for infections, and avoids sharp blades on diabetic feet. Sessions take 60 to 75 minutes and cost more, but reduce the risk of wounds, ingrown nails, and cross-contamination.
Basic pedicures range from 25 to 45 units of local currency, while spa versions with masks and massage reach 60 to 90. Gel polish adds 10 to 20, and callus removal for severe buildup can add another 10. Location, rent, product brand, and technician experience explain most of the gap. Always ask for a written breakdown.
Paraffin wax treatments add 10 to 15 minutes and soften rough heels with warm mineral oil. Callus peel masks use acids over 7 to 10 days. Hot stone massage adds 15 minutes. French polish, ombre gradients, or nail art can extend the appointment by 20 to 40 minutes depending on detail. Confirm the total time before booking.
Ask how the foot bath is disinfected, what autoclave cycle is used, and whether files and buffers are disposable. Ask the technician's training and years of practice. Confirm the exact duration, the polish brand, and whether gel removal costs extra. A clear answer to each question is the strongest sign of a serious, clean service.
