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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At-home kits handle basic trimming and light polish but cannot match professional callus removal or sterilization. Salon visits allow inspection of the nail bed, proper cuticle work, and longer-lasting products. For healthy feet without thick calluses, home care every 2 weeks plus one salon visit per month keeps results consistent and affordable.
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.
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.
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.
