If you have diabetes, circulation issues, fungal nails, or thick calluses, request a medical or podiatric pedicure. The specialist uses sterilized instruments, checks for infections, and avoids sharp blades on diabetic feet. Sessions take 60 to 75 minutes and cost more, but reduce the risk of wounds, ingrown nails, and cross-contamination.
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.
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.
Ingrown nails appear within 1 to 3 weeks when corners are cut too short or rounded. Fungal infections show as yellow, thick nails 2 to 8 weeks later, often from unsterilized tools. Cuticle damage causes redness and small infections. If pain, swelling, or pus appears, contact a podiatrist and avoid home removal of any skin growth.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
