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.
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.
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.
Most clients book every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain shape and callus control. People with fast-growing nails or heavy callus buildup may need visits every 3 weeks. If you wear open shoes daily or run often, expect shorter intervals. Waiting more than 8 weeks usually requires extra work and longer sessions to restore the feet.
A fresh coat of regular polish usually lasts 5 to 7 days before chipping. Gel polish, cured under UV or LED light, can last 14 to 21 days without visible wear. The shape of the nail and the thickness of the application affect durability, so ask how many coats are included and which base and top coat brands are used.
A medical pedicure, also called a chiropody, is performed by a podiatrist using sterile instruments. It treats ingrown nails, thickened nails, corns and fungal infections. Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes and cost more than a beauty pedicure. Book this option if you have diabetes, circulation problems or recurring nail pain.
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.
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.
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.
Gel polish resists chips for up to 21 days but requires acetone soaking for 15–20 minutes to remove, which can dry the nail bed. Regular polish dries in 10 to 15 minutes and removes easily, but chips within a week. For events more than 2 weeks away, gel is worth the extra cost; for short-term wear, regular is safer.
