About pedicure
A pedicure takes care of the feet and toenails: a warm soak, nail cutting and shaping, cuticle tidying, hard skin removal from heels and pads, exfoliation, a foot and lower-leg massage and a finish of polish or gel. It is a treatment people book as much for comfort as for appearance, and it is a staple before holidays and in the summer months.
Menus usually include a classic pedicure, a luxury version with a mask and longer massage, and a gel pedicure that stays glossy for four to six weeks. Medical foot problems such as ingrown toenails, verrucas or thickened nails are the territory of a podiatrist rather than a beauty therapist, and a good salon will say so rather than treat them.
Allow 45 minutes to an hour. Wear open-toed shoes to the appointment if you are having regular polish. For hygiene, look for salons that use single-use liners or disinfect foot spas between every client.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pedicure cost?
Usually £25 to £40 for a classic pedicure outside London, and £40 to £60 in central London. Gel pedicures are about £5 to £10 more than regular polish.
How often should I have a pedicure?
Every four to six weeks keeps hard skin and nails in check. Gel on toes often lasts the whole interval; regular polish chips sooner.
Should I shave my legs before a pedicure?
Better not to on the day. Freshly shaved skin is more open, and the foot soak and scrub can sting. Shave a day or two before instead.
