About Manicure & Pedicure

A manicure is care for the hands and nails and a pedicure is care for the feet and toenails. Each can be simple, with shaping and polish, or longer, with soaking, scrubbing and a massage of the hands or feet. Many businesses offer both together at a set time.

For a manicure you rest your hands on a cushion while the technician files, shapes and tidies the cuticles, then applies polish. For a pedicure your feet are soaked, the nails trimmed and shaped, and the skin smoothed before polish. Gel polish needs a lamp to set and is removed in a separate step.

To compare businesses, check what each service includes, how long it takes and how the business explains its cleaning of tools and foot tubs. Ask for a clear list of options such as regular or gel polish. Look at opening hours and whether you can book both services back to back.

Before you book, ask how long you should allow, whether polish is regular or gel, and how to look after your nails afterward. Tell the technician about allergies, cuts, or any skin concern on your hands or feet. If you have a health concern, check with your own health professional first.

Questions people ask

Can I book a manicure and a pedicure together?

Most businesses offer a combined appointment, often with two technicians working at the same time. Ask whether the two services can be done together and how long it takes.

How can I keep my nails looking good between visits?

Ask the technician for aftercare advice for the type of polish you chose. Many suggest gloves for cleaning and a regular moisturiser for cuticles.

What is the difference between a manicure and a pedicure?

A manicure is care for the hands and fingernails, and a pedicure is care for the feet and toenails. Many businesses offer both, and often as a combined appointment.

What is the difference between regular and gel polish?

Gel polish is set under a lamp, so it dries at once and tends to stay on for longer than regular polish. It is removed in a separate step. Ask the business which products it uses.

How do I know a nail business is clean?

Look at how it describes its cleaning of tools and footbaths, check that technicians hold the licence your state requires and notice how the shop looks. You can ask how tools are cleaned between customers.
