Your Pedicure questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a pedicure cost?

A pedicure costs $25 to $40 on average if you're going for a basic pedicure with regular nail polish, though the price varies depending on the type of salon, with some high-end spas charging $40 to $80+ for a standard pedicure.

  • Basic pedicures typically include a short foot soak, basic nail trim and filing, light heel scrub and massage, and regular polish.
  • A deluxe pedicure costs $40 to $80+. These pedicures last longer and include additional callus treatment and other special treatments like exfoliating massage, aromatherapy, paraffin wax, or hot towels.
  • If you add gel polish for a longer lasting finish, expect to pay $40 to $70+ for a basic pedicure and $60 to $100+ if you're getting the deluxe treatment.
  • If you want your hands done too, a basic mani-pedi costs $40 to $75. A deluxe mani-pedi costs in the $100 to $200+ range, depending on the services included.

Does getting a pedicure have any benefits?

Besides just keeping your toes looking their best, getting regular pedicures offers many benefits:

  • Stress reduction
  • Increased relaxation
  • Better circulation
  • Well-groomed appearance
  • Improvement in overall foot health

How often should you get a pedicure?

Professionals typically recommend getting a pedicure every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency helps to maintain both foot health and appearance. However, the type of pedicure you get, as well as your personal preference, also play a part in determining the best schedule for you. A basic pedicure with regular polish may start chipping after just a week or two.

There are several things you can do to extend the life of your pedicure:

  • Don't leave the salon until it is completely dry.
  • Moisturize regularly.
  • Stay away from tight-fitting shoes
  • Apply a top coat every few days.

How long does it take to get a pedicure?

A basic pedicure takes about 30 to 45 minutes in most cases. Deluxe pedicures often take 90 minutes or more, depending on the specific services included.

How much should you tip for a pedicure?

A tip of 15% to 20% of the total cost is considered standard for nail service. Cash tips are generally preferred by most service professionals. If your nail technician goes above and beyond for you, consider tipping more than the standard. Additionally, think about tipping extra around the holidays if you see the same technician regularly.

Can you get a pedicure while pregnant?

In most cases, you can get a pedicure while pregnant. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before getting a pedicure, especially if you have any pregnancy-related complications.

Once your healthcare provider has cleared you for a pedicure, here are some general precautions to keep in mind:

  • Inform the nail technician about your pregnancy.
  • Choose a well-ventilated salon to minimize exposure to chemical fumes.
  • Opt for non-toxic, pregnancy-safe nail polishes.
  • Avoid foot massages during the first trimester, as some pressure points may trigger contractions.
  • Be cautious of swollen feet and ankles, which are common during pregnancy.

Can you get a pedicure if you are diabetic?

Diabetics can get pedicures, but extra care is necessary due to slower healing and the increased risk of infections. Always consult with your doctor before getting a pedicure, especially if you have any foot complications or neuropathy.

  • Choose only a salon that specializes in diabetic foot care or has extensive experience with diabetic clients.
  • Inform the nail technician about your condition.
  • Make sure all tools are properly sterilized.
  • Avoid cutting cuticles or using sharp tools on the feet.
  • Skip foot soaking if you have any open wounds or sores.
  • Opt for gentle filing instead of aggressive scrubbing or callus removal.

How do I choose the best pedicure service near me?

To find the best pedicure in your area:

  • Compare prices and services offered by different salons.
  • Ask if the salon's nail technicians are licensed and experienced.
  • Read online reviews on websites like Fash, Google, or local beauty forums.
  • Ask for recommendations from friends, family, or coworkers.
  • Check social media platforms for local salons and their customer feedback.
  • Visit salons in person to assess cleanliness and hygiene practices.
  • Look for salons that use disposable tools or have visible sterilization procedures.
  • Consider specialized services if you have specific needs, such as medical pedicures for diabetics.

What questions should I ask a nail salon?

Asking the right questions can give you confidence that you're choosing the best nail service for your needs and budget:

  • What experience do you have with this particular nail service?
  • Do you use single-use tools? If not, how do you sanitize your tools between clients?
  • What measures do you take to prevent nail damage?
  • Do you offer any nail-strengthening treatments? How much are they?
  • What can I do to keep my pedicure looking good as long as possible?
  • Do you offer discounts if I purchase more than one service?
  • Are you rates the same during peak and off-peak hours?
