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.
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.
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.
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.
Square and oval shapes hold polish better than pointed or stiletto shapes. Round nails resist side cracks for 3 to 4 weeks. Toenails should be cut straight across with 1 mm to 2 mm of free edge. Cutting too short increases the risk of ingrown nails within 1 to 2 weeks.
Tool sterilisers should reach 121 degrees Celsius for at least 15 minutes in an autoclave, or 170 degrees Celsius in a dry heat unit. UV boxes and chemical soaks do not meet professional standards. Ask the salon which method they use. Tools should come out of sealed pouches in front of you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
