A pedicure is a practical treatment that refreshes the look and feel of your feet. It focuses on softening and smoothing rough areas, tidying nails and cuticles, and leaving your feet comfortable, clean and well presented.

More information

What your pedicure appointment includes

A pedicure is designed to improve both comfort and appearance, especially when feet feel dry, look dull, or nails need tidying.

  • A cleansing soak to soften the skin and prepare the feet.
  • Nail shaping and tidying to create a neat, even finish.
  • Cuticle care to remove excess build-up around the nail.
  • Exfoliation to lift dry skin and help smooth the surface.
  • Hard-skin work on areas like heels and the ball of the foot.
  • A moisturising finish, often with a short foot and lower-leg massage.
  • Optional buffing or nail polish to complete the look.

Pedicure help for dry heels, hard skin and rough patches

If your heels catch on socks, feel cracked, or look chalky, a pedicure targets the areas that build up thicker skin. Regular pedicures can also help if you are on your feet a lot, wear work shoes all day, or want feet that feel smoother for holidays and open-toe footwear.

How the pedicure is carried out from soak to finish

Your therapist will start by softening the feet, then move through nail and cuticle work before focusing on exfoliation and hard-skin removal. The treatment ends with moisturising products worked into the feet, and then a clean, glossy finish if you choose polish.

Keeping your pedicure results looking neat between visits

Moisturise feet daily, especially heels, and use a gentle foot file on dry areas between appointments. Keep toenails trimmed straight across to reduce snagging and help maintain a tidy shape. If you wear polish, bringing sandals or open-toe shoes can help protect the finish straight after your pedicure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I remove my old toenail polish before a pedicure?
It helps, but it is not essential. If you arrive wearing polish, it can usually be removed at the start so the nails can be shaped and finished neatly.
Can a pedicure deal with hard skin on my heels?
Yes, pedicures commonly include focused work on rough heels and other high-pressure areas. If the hard skin is heavy, you may need a couple of regular appointments to get on top of it.
Is a pedicure safe if my feet are sensitive?
Let your therapist know if you have sensitivity, thin skin, or areas that are sore. The products and pressure can be adjusted so the treatment stays comfortable while still improving smoothness.
How long will my pedicure last?
Skin usually feels smoother immediately, and results last longer with daily moisturising. If you choose polish, wear time depends on footwear, activity levels and aftercare.
Can I have a pedicure if I have a foot condition?
If you have athlete’s foot, open cuts, inflammation, or a suspected infection, it is best to postpone and seek advice first. For ongoing conditions like diabetes or circulatory issues, mention it when booking so suitability can be checked.
