How a pedicure goes, step by step
Whichever option you choose, a pedicure follows a logical order: first we relax and soften, then we care for the feet, and we finish with colour. Here's what to expect once you're settled in the chair.
- Choosing your colour and finish (regular polish or Shellac), then removing old polish.
- A foot soak to relax and soften the skin and nails.
- Cutting and filing the toenails, following their natural shape.
- Cuticle care for a clean outline around the nail.
- Exfoliation to smooth rougher areas, like the heels.
- Moisturizing the feet, with a massage depending on the treatment you chose.
- Polish: regular polish that air-dries, or Shellac cured under a lamp.
An important note
A pedicure is a cosmetic treatment. If you have a wound, an infection, a condition like diabetes or foot pain, check with a health professional first, and let your technician know before the treatment.
Which pedicure should you choose?
All four options share the same foundation. What changes is how much time we spend on you and how long the colour lasts.
- To go further, add a paraffin treatment ($15): the warm wax leaves skin very soft.
- A foot massage can also be added on.
Classic Pedicure ($40, about 45 min)
The complete core treatment, ideal for regular upkeep. You leave with clean nails, softer feet and a fresh coat of regular polish.
Shellac Pedicure ($55, about 45 min)
The same steps, but with Shellac that leaves the salon dry and keeps its shine much longer. It's the one to pick for sandal season, a trip down south, or if you don't like waiting for polish to dry.
Deluxe Pedicure ($60, or $75 with Shellac)
About 75 minutes instead of 45: the extra time allows for a more thorough, more relaxing treatment. A good choice if your heels need attention after winter, or if you simply want to give yourself a real break.
Crystal Jelly Pedicure ($65, or $80 with Shellac)
A 75-minute pedicure named for its soak. Generally, a jelly pedicure turns the soaking water into a translucent, jelly-like texture that wraps around the feet, a different and very pleasant experience. It's our most pampering option. For the exact steps, just ask us when you book.
How long a pedicure lasts, plus our tips
Regular polish on toes usually lasts one to two weeks. Shellac generally lasts longer, often several weeks, since toes see less wear than hands. Your footwear, hot water and nail growth also play a part.
On the day of your appointment, bring sandals or open-toed shoes, especially with regular polish, so you don't smudge the fresh colour.
- Moisturize your feet every night, with extra attention on the heels.
- Avoid cutting toenails too short or rounding the corners.
- Don't pick at Shellac as it grows out: book a removal instead.
- A pedicure every four to six weeks keeps skin supple and nails well maintained.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the deluxe pedicure and the Crystal Jelly pedicure?
Both take about 75 minutes and go further than a classic pedicure. The deluxe is $60 and focuses on a more thorough, relaxing treatment. The Crystal Jelly is $65 and stands out for its jelly soak. With Shellac, it's $75 for the deluxe and $80 for the Crystal Jelly.
How long does a Shellac pedicure last?
On toes, Shellac generally holds for several weeks, often longer than on hands. Wear depends on your footwear, your activities and how fast your nails grow. Once it has grown out, book a removal rather than picking it off.
Can I just get my toenails cut?
Yes, a toenail cut on its own is $15. If you'd also like a soak, cuticle care and colour, the classic pedicure at $40 includes all of that.
Should I bring anything to my pedicure?
Just bring sandals or open-toed shoes so you can leave without smudging your polish, especially regular polish. A photo of a colour you like can help too. With Shellac, your nails are dry when you leave.
Can I book a pedicure at the same time as a friend?
To book two pedicures at the same time, call us at (819) 770-6886: we'll check the team's availability and seat you together whenever possible.
