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.
A full standard pedicure takes 45 to 60 minutes. Add 15 minutes if you want gel polish or callus removal with an electric file. Express services last 20 to 30 minutes and skip the foot bath and massage. Confirm the duration when you book to plan your visit and avoid rushing the technician.
Arrive with clean feet but skip heavy lotions for 24 hours, since oils reduce polish adhesion. Remove old gel or acrylic at least 2 days earlier if possible, or tell the technician what product is on your nails. Bring reference photos for shape and color. Avoid trimming your own cuticles the same day to prevent small cuts.
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.
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.
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.
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 basic pedicure ranges from 25 to 45 in many areas. Prices rise by 10 to 20 when you add gel, callus removal, or paraffin wax. Salons in busy districts charge more due to rent. Mobile services add 10 to 25 for travel time and setup. Ask for a written quote before booking.
A standard pedicure uses a metal cuticle pusher, nippers, a foot file with 80 to 100 grit, a base coat, coloured polish and a top coat. Foot baths with disposable liners and autoclave-sterilised metal tools indicate proper sanitation. Ask the technician which products and tools they will use before the appointment begins.
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.
