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 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.
Avoid products containing formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate or methyl methacrylate. These ingredients appear in some low-cost polishes and acrylic nail systems. Ask the salon for a list of polishes they stock. Most reputable brands publish their ingredient lists online or on the bottle label for you to review.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
