Pedicure

A pedicure covers nail shaping, cuticle work, hard-skin removal and polish. What varies most between salons is the prep — whether the tools are single-use or sterilised, and whether the treatment starts with a shared foot spa or is done dry.

What to ask before you book

  • Are the tools single-use or autoclaved?

    The two acceptable answers. "We clean them" is not one of them.

  • Is there a liner in the foot spa, or is the treatment dry?

    A shared basin is the part of a pedicure with the clearest hygiene risk. A fresh liner each time, or no soak at all, both solve it.

  • Do you use a blade on hard skin?

    Callus removal with a blade is restricted to trained practitioners in many places. A file or drill is the normal salon answer.

  • How long is the appointment?

    Under 30 minutes usually means polish-only, not a full pedicure. Worth knowing before you sit down.
