Classic Pedicure
A classic pedicure includes nail shaping, cuticle care, a foot soak, light exfoliation, and polish application. It is the standard pedicure service and provides essential foot care and a clean, polished look. Classic pedicures are offered for both women ($42) and men ($50).
The polish used in a classic pedicure is regular nail polish, which lasts about 1 to 2 weeks on toes. This is a good option for clients who change their toe color frequently or prefer the simplest removal.
Gel or Shellac Pedicure
A gel or Shellac pedicure includes all the elements of a classic pedicure but uses gel polish cured under a UV or LED lamp. The result is a glossy, chip-free finish that lasts 4 to 6 weeks on toes — significantly longer than regular polish, because toenails grow more slowly.
Gel pedicures are offered for women ($54) and men ($55). They are ideal for clients who want long-lasting color without worrying about chips, especially during sandal season or travel.
Spa Pedicure
A spa pedicure ($70) includes all the elements of a classic pedicure plus additional treatments for deeper relaxation and skin care. This typically includes an extended massage, more thorough exfoliation, and a moisturizing mask. The spa pedicure is the most indulgent option, designed for clients who want a pampering experience along with their foot care.
A spa pedicure is ideal for special occasions, self-care days, or for clients with dry or rough feet that need extra attention. The extended massage and mask provide deeper hydration and relaxation than a classic service.

Choosing the Right Pedicure
If you want a quick, essential foot care service with regular polish, a classic pedicure is sufficient. If you want color that lasts for weeks without chipping, choose a gel pedicure. If you want a pampering experience with extended massage and deep skin care, choose a spa pedicure.
You can also combine services — for example, a spa pedicure with gel polish for both indulgence and durability. Discuss your preferences with your technician.
Add-Ons to Enhance Your Pedicure
Any pedicure can be enhanced with add-ons. Paraffin ($25) provides deep hydration for dry feet. Callus removal ($15) addresses rough, hardened skin. Reflexology ($50) adds a 30-minute targeted pressure technique for relaxation. Aromatherapy ($10) adds essential oils for a sensory experience. A French finish ($10) adds white tips for a classic look.
These add-ons allow you to customize your pedicure based on your specific foot care needs and relaxation preferences. Your technician can recommend the most appropriate add-ons.
Podology Pedicures
For clients with specific foot care needs, we offer podiatry/podology pedicures ($75) and spa podiatry/podology ($90). These services focus on foot health with specialized attention to calluses, nail conditions, and skin care. For comprehensive foot care, explore our dedicated podology services.
Maintenance Between Pedicures
To extend the life of your pedicure, moisturize your feet daily, especially the heels and cuticles. Wear comfortable shoes that do not rub or create friction. For gel pedicures, avoid picking at the polish. Schedule your next pedicure before significant growth or wear appears.
In Miami’s warm climate, open-toed shoes and sandals are common year-round, making pedicure maintenance especially relevant. Regular pedicures keep your feet looking and feeling their best regardless of the season.
